RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00078
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment (RE) code be changed to one that would allow him to
reenlist in the Air Force. If this is not possible then he would like
his RE code changed to one that would allow him to enlist in the Air
National Guard or AF Reserve.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in the AF for nine years and had very much wanted to serve
at least 20 years and earn the rank of Master Sergeant (MSgt/E-7). He
does not want to feel that the nine years he spent with the AF were
wasted. He would love to serve again. He was treated fairly by the
AF after making a couple of mistakes that he deeply regrets, but notes
he never received an Article 15. He would turn back the clock if he
could. He feels he should not be denied reenlistment. He would
gladly go to war and give his life, if necessary, for his country.
In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided a copy of a DD
Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge or Dismissal from
the Armed Forces of the United States.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant entered active duty on 4 May 1994. On 31 March 2003, he was
denied the award of the AF Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM) because of
disciplinary problems. He was honorably discharged on 22 June 2003
with $8,561.33 of separation pay under the auspices of Air Force
Instruction (AFI) 36-3208, Completion of Required Active Service. He
received an RE code of 2X, “First-term, second-term, or career airman
considered but not selected for reenlistment.” He was credited with 9
years, 1 month, and 19 days of active military service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. After a review of the applicant’s
record DPPAE has determined the applicant was involuntarily separated
with the correct RE code of 2X. DPPAE notes that waivers of RE codes
for enlistment are considered with approval based on the needs of the
respective military service and recruiting initiatives at the time of
the enlistment inquiry.
DPPAE’s complete evaluation, with attachment, 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. 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 warranting a change to the
applicant’s reenlistment code. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case to include his
assertion that the few mistakes he made should not have precluded him
from reenlistment. However, after reviewing the circumstances
surrounding his separation, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice on the part of the Air Force. Therefore, 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.
