                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02646
            INDEX CODE:  112.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2X be changed.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was an asset to the Air Force when she was on  active  duty.   She
will be even more of an asset to the National Guard if her RE code  is
changed.  She misses serving her country and would very much  like  to
do so again.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of her DD Form 214.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 June 1989.  She  was
promoted to the grade of airman first class on 20  October  1990,  and
the grade of senior airman on 20 June 1992.  She received six enlisted
performance reports (EPRs) closing 19 February 1991, 20 December 1991,
20 December 1992, 20 December 1993, 20 December 1994, and 20  December
1995, in which the overall evaluations were “3,” “4,” “4,”  “4,”  “4,”
and “4.”

Applicant was released from active duty on 2 December 1996, under  the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Completion of Required Active  Service,  in
the grade of senior airman with an  honorable  character  of  service.
She served 7 years, 5 months and 11 days  on  active  duty.   She  was
issued an RE code of 2X, First-term airman considered but not selected
under Selective Reenlistment Program.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE  recommends  denial.   They  conducted  a  review  of   the
applicant’s personnel file and considered all documentation  submitted
by the applicant.  Based on the quality of the applicant’s records and
supporting documentation on  the  Record  Review  Rip  (RRR)  dated  2
November 1996, it is  clearly  evident  that  the  applicant  was  not
recommended for continued military service.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant states that she really wants to be  able  to  join  the  Air
National Guard.  She would be a real asset to the Air National  Guard.
She made a real contribution to the Air Force when she was  on  active
duty.  She did her job and did it well.  She was never a  disciplinary
problem.  Her only major flaw was her weight, but that never  hindered
her ability to do her job.  In fact, she did it  better  and  took  it
more seriously  than  the  majority  of  her  fellow  airmen,  without
complaint.  If today’s weight and physical fitness regulations were in
place she would have never been on the weight program and it would not
be an issue now.  She has grown and matured even more  since  she  got
out of the service.  She feels she would contribute even more now  and
be a real asset to the Air National Guard.  The Air Force is a part of
her and she knows that is where she belongs.  She is asking  that  her
reenlistment code be change  so  she  can  once  again  be  where  she
belongs, a part of the Air Force.

Applicant's complete response is at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for  the  conclusion  that  the
applicant  has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or   injustice.
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.

    Under current provisions, AFI-36-2606, Reenlistment in the Air Force, a “2P” RE code is used to identify personnel “absent without leave; deserter or dropped from rolls.” However, there is no need to change her RE Code, because it was properly assessed under current provisions at the time. We note that the applicant was discharged from the Air Force for “marginal performance.” The applicant has not provided sufficient evidence that she should have received an RE code that would allow her...
