                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02616
            INDEX CODE:  110.00

            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED: No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His separation and reenlistment codes  be  changed  to  allow  him  to
enlist in the Air National Guard.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His last year in the service was critical and hectic for him.  He  and
his supervisor were not getting  along  and  it  seems  he  was  being
harshly punished for every small mistake he made.  His supervisor  was
deployed during the time she was preparing  his  Enlisted  Performance
Report (EPR).  He heard his supervisor was getting a  divorce  and  it
seems like the weight was being put on him.  He received a two  rating
on his EPR.  His assignment to Korea and his reenlistment were denied.
 His career was at the end of its excitement.  He had an EPR coming up
but he did not have the patience to wait for it and requested terminal
leave because his journey ahead was gone.

He further states he  accepts  full  responsibility  for  his  actions
during this year and hopes he is given another chance.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force  on  20  May  1998  for  a
period of four years as an airman basic.

The applicant’s records indicate he received  a  Letter  of  Reprimand
(LOR) for pulling the fire alarm in the dining hall in  February  2001
as a prank.  He received four letters of counseling for dereliction of
duty and failure to show.  The applicant
received another LOR in January 2002 for his inability to perform  his
duty  and  a  Unfavorable  Information  File  was  established.    The
applicant received a two rating on  his  Enlisted  Performance  Report
(EPR) for the period ending 19 January 2002.

The applicant was denied reenlistment on 19 July 2002.  The basis  for
the denial of reenlistment was the applicant’s inability to conform to
military standards and environment.  He appealed the  nonselection  on
16 October 2002.  The appeal was denied on 7 November 2002.

The applicant was discharged on 19 February  2003,  in  the  grade  of
senior airman with an honorable discharge.  He served four  years  and
nine months of active duty service.  He received an RE  code  of  “2X”
which indicates the applicant was a first-term, second-term, or career
airman  considered  but  not  selected  for  reenlistment  under   the
Selective  Reenlistment  Program  (SRP)  and  a   Separation   Program
Designator (SPD) code of “JBK” which indicates the  servicemember  was
separated  after  completion  of  required  active   service   (Denied
reenlistment).

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPRS states they believe the applicant’s separation code  was
consistent with the procedural and  substantive  requirements  of  the
discharge regulation.  Also,  the  separation  was  within  the  sound
discretion of the discharge  authority.   The  applicant’s  separation
code and narrative reason for separation  are  correct.   Furthermore,
the applicant has provided no evidence or  identified  any  errors  or
injustices that may have occurred during the  discharge  process,  nor
has he provided evidence  to  warrant  a  change  in  his  reason  for
discharge.  They recommend the applicant’s request be denied.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

HQ AFPC/DPPAE states the applicant received a reenlistment eligibility
code of "2X," indicating the servicemember was a  First-term,  second-
term, or career airman considered but not  selected  for  reenlistment
under the Selective Reenlistment  Program  (SRP),  which  is  correct.
AFPC/DPPAE  further  states  the  applicant  has  not   provided   any
documentation to support his request.  Furthermore, the waivers of  RE
codes for enlistment are considered and approved based on the needs of
the military  service and recruiting initiatives at the  time  of  the
enlistment inquiry (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
21 November 2003, for review  and  response.   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 an error or injustice.  Applicant’s  contentions  are
duly noted; however, we are not persuaded that the applicant has  been
the victim of  an  error  or  injustice.   At  the  time  members  are
separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE code predicated
upon  the  quality  of  their  service  and  circumstances  of   their
separation.  After a thorough review of the  evidence  of  record,  we
believe that  given  the  circumstances  surrounding  the  applicant’s
separation, the RE code issued was in accordance with the  appropriate
directives.  Therefore, we find  no  basis  upon  which  to  recommend
favorable action on this application.
