                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-03091
            INDEX CODE:  110.02

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to  one  that  would
enable him to reenlist.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

At the time of his discharge he was told that he could reenlist in six
months.  He has tried to enlist in the Air National  Guard  (ANG)  but
was not able to because of the RE code.

In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided copies  of  a  DD
Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge  or  Dismissal  from
the Armed Forces of the United States, and a DD Form 214,  Certificate
of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant entered active duty on 29 August 1990.   He  was  discharged
four months and six days later, on 4 January 1991, in accordance  with
Air Force Instruction  (AFI)  39-10  (entry-level  performance).   His
commander notified him on 2 January 1991 that he was being recommended
for discharge due to minor disciplinary infractions.  On  17  December
1990, he stole two sets of earrings and a gold locket, valued at  $45,
from the Base Exchange.  He received an Article 15 with punishment  of
forfeiture of $150, seven days extra duty and seven days  restriction.
His service characterization was listed as uncharacterized as  he  had
served less than 180 days.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRSP recommends denial.  Upon addressing the discharge process,
DPPRSP states the  applicant  did  not  submit  any  new  evidence  or
identify any errors or  injustices  that  occurred  in  his  discharge
processing.  Additionally, he provided no facts warranting a change in
his discharge.  DPPRSP holds that the discharge  was  consistent  with
the  procedural  and  substantive  requirements   of   the   discharge
regulation and was within the discharge authorities discretion.

DPPRSP’s complete 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
31 October 2003 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 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 an error or injustice.  Applicant’s  contentions  are
duly noted to include  his  allegation  that  he  was  told  he  could
reenlist in six  months;  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.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
