RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03393
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His commander did not explain that he would be barred from the Air Force
for life. He signed and accepted his notification or reenlistment
ineligibility based on the fact that he would be reconsidered for
enlistment once the ineligibility factor was removed.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214,
Certificate for Release or Discharge from Active Duty, a copy of his
Notification of Reenlistment Ineligibility, copies of his Airman
Performance Reports, and a copy of an Enlistment Waiver letter.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 July 1980. On 3 March
1983, his commander considered and denied his reenlistment. On 8 July
1984, he was discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-10 for expiration of
term of service and was issued an honorable discharge. He received a
separation designator code of KBK and a RE code of 2X. He served four
years on active duty.
After reviewing the applicable instruction, AFR 39-10, it appears the RE
code issued is accurate.
_________________________________________________________________
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 waive 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; 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. In regards to the
applicant’s request for correction of his RE code, no documentation was
provided to the Board, to show a record of satisfactory post service
accomplishments. Typically, clemency would be considered when a person has
been separated for a length of time, and provides evidence to substantiate
post service accomplishments. However, 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.
