RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02203
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 4J (Entered into Phase I
of the Air Force Weight Program, or the unit commander has declared
the airman ineligible to reenlist for a period of Phase II or
probation) be changed to a “3J” (sic).
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Changing his code from 4J to 3J will enable him to reenlist in the
Air Force Reserve and serve his country again.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, dated
15 Apr 2001.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 Apr 97 for a
period of four years in the grade of airman basic. He was promoted
to the grade of airman first class on 16 Aug 98.
A Report on Individual Person, prepared on 13 Feb 01, reflects that
the applicant was participating in the Weight Management Program.
On 15 Apr 01, he was honorably discharged under the provisions of
AFI 36-3208, by reason of completion of required active service,
and was issued an RE code of 4J. He was credited with 4 years of
active duty service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and indicated that the RE
code of 4J is correct. Additionally, that the applicant did not
provide any documentation that supports changing his RE code.
Waivers of RE codes for enlistment are considered and approved
based on the needs of the respective military service and
recruiting initiatives at the time of the enlistment inquiry.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 21 Nov 03 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. At the time a
member is separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE
Code predicated upon the quality of their service and the
circumstances of their separation. The assigned code reflects the
Air Force’s position regarding whether or not, or under what
circumstances, the individual should be allowed to reenlist.
Applicant’s RE code of 4J accurately reflects that he was on the
Weight Management Program when he separated. After careful
consideration of the evidence provided, we are not persuaded that
the assigned RE code is in error or unjust or that an upgrade of
the RE code is warranted. Furthermore, we note that the
applicant’s current RE code of 4J is a code that can be waived for
prior service enlistment consideration, provided he meets all other
requirements for enlistment under an existing prior service
program, and depending on the needs of the service. In view of the
foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
