                                        INDEX CODE:  100.03
  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX            COUNSEL:  NONE

  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX                       HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Item 6 of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge  from  Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect her Reserve Obligation Termination Date of  19
February 2006, rather than “N/A.”

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She initially enlisted in the Air Force for four years of  active  duty  and
four years of inactive Reserve duty.  When she reentered the  Air  Force  on
26 August 2003, after a break in service, her Total Active Federal  Military
Service Date (TAFMSD) was wrongfully changed from 19  February  1998  to  24
July 1999.

In support of her application, the applicant submits a  personal  statement;
a copy of her DD Form 214; a copy of her initial enlistment contract,  dated
20 February 1998; a copy of  her  enlistment  contract  and  special  order,
dated 26 August  2003;  and  a  copy  of  her  statement  of  service.   The
applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 20 February 1998, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force  Reserve  under
the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program (DEP) at the age of 18 in the grade  of
airman basic (E-1) for a period of eight  years.   On  29  April  1998,  the
applicant was discharged  from  the  Air  Force  Reserve  and  accepted  for
enlistment in the Regular Air Force in the  grade  of  airman  basic  for  a
period of  four  years.   On  1  November  2001,  the  applicant  was  found
medically disqualified from her Primary Air  Force  Specialty  Code  (PAFSC)
when considered under the Selective Reenlistment Program.  She  acknowledged
receipt of the  non-selection  notification,  chose  not  to  obtain  proper
retainability to retrain into another  PAFSC,  and  indicated  she  did  not
intend to appeal the decision.  The applicant was  honorably  discharged  on
31 May 2002 for completion of required active service with  a  reentry  code
of 2X (first term airman considered  but  not  selected  for  reenlistment).
She served four years, one month, and two days on active duty.

On 26 August 2003, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air  Force  in  the
grade of senior airman for a period of four years.   Due  to  her  break  in
service from 1 June 2002 to 25 August 2003, her TAFMSD was  adjusted  to  24
July 1999.  The applicant is currently serving on active duty.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS  recommends  denial.   DPPAE  states  that   according   to   the
applicant’s master personnel records, her discharge was consistent with  the
procedural and substantive requirements  of  the  discharge  regulation  and
within the  discretion  of  the  discharge  authority.   The  applicant  was
discharged without regard to her military service obligation  when  she  was
non-selected for reenlistment.  When the applicant returned to active  duty,
it was required to adjust her TAFMSD due to her break  in  service.   It  is
DPPRS’s opinion that the applicant’s adjusted TAFMSD date  of  24 July  1999
is correct and that no error  or  injustices  occurred  in  the  applicant’s
discharge or reenlistment  processing.   The  AFPC/DPPRS  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  30
January 2004, for review and comment within 30  days  (Exhibit  D).   As  of
this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided  by  existing  law  or
regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest  of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of error or injustice.  After a thorough review of  the  available
records,  we  found  no  evidence  that   the   applicant’s   discharge   or
reenlistment  was  not  consistent  with  the  procedural  and   substantive
requirements of the governing regulations.  We  note  the  applicant’s  non-
selection for reenlistment status resulted in her discharge  without  regard
to her military service obligation; therefore, she no longer had a  military
service obligation.  Accordingly, item six on  her  DD  Form  214  reflected
“N/A.”  When she reentered the military on 25 August 2003,  she  incurred  a
break in service from 1 June 2002 to  25  August  2003  and,  therefore,  it
apears her TAFMSD was correctly adjusted to  24 July  1999.   The  applicant
has provided no evidence showing the  contrary.   Accordingly,  we  find  no
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.
