RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01520
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2V (applied for
retirement, or retirement has been approved) be changed.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE code of 2V needs to be changed which will enable him to go
back on active duty.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his DD Form
214, dated 30 Sep 94.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was honorably retired effective 1 Oct 94, under the
Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA), and was issued RE code
2V. He completed 15 years, 2 months, and 6 days of active federal
military service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRR reviewed this application and recommended denial.
Applicant requested early retirement through AF Form 1160, Military
Retirement Actions, in accordance with the Air Force Drawdown
program in effect at the time.
There is no procedural error or inaccuracy with member’s documents
and his RE code is in accordance with Air Force policy.
A complete copy of the 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 18 Jun 04 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; however, we are not persuaded that he
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 the circumstances
of their separation. In this case, applicant retired under the
Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) effective 1 Oct 94.
His assigned RE code of 2V accurately reflects that his retirement
was approved. Based on the foregoing, and in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, 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.

To provide the applicant an exception would be unfair to service members who also were not eligible to retire under TERA. In this respect, the majority notes that the Air Force had a critical shortage of physicians when the applicant was appointed into the service and based upon this continuing need for his services, age waivers were approved until he reached 67 years of age. Therefore, in consideration of the totality of the circumstances of this case, and his nearly 17 years of faithful...

At the time of his application to retire under the TERA program, the Air Force was experiencing difficulty meeting its drawdown goals and was authorizing officers to retire under the program.
