RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-02719
INDEX NUMBER: 100.06, 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, reflect a more appropriate Reenlistment Eligibility (RE)
code.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE code is unjust because he wasn’t made aware of the code or
its meaning.
Applicant’s complete submission, which includes a copy of his
DD Form 214, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in Regular Air Force on 12 Feb 97, as an E-1,
for a period of four years. His highest grade held was senior
airman.
The applicant received three Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs)
with overall ratings of (oldest to latest): 3, 4, and 2 (referral).
On 11 Jul 00, the applicant received an Article 15 for driving
under the influence of alcohol while on base. Punishment consisted
of a reduction to the grade of airman first class, forfeiture of
$500.00 pay (suspended until 10 Jan 01), and 30 days correctional
custody effective 13 Jul 00. He did not appeal the punishment.
Applicant was honorably discharged on 11 Feb 01, in the grade of
airman first class, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, by reason
of completion of required active service. He was issued an RE Code
of 4E, “Grade is airman first class or below and airman completed
31 or more months (55 months for 6-year enlistees), if a first term
airman; or, grade is airman first class or below and the airman is
a second-term or career airman.” He served four years of active
military service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommended denial and states, in part, after
reviewing the documents submitted by the applicant and his
personnel record, there was nothing to support the course of action
requested by the applicant.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 8 Oct 04, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and response within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office. (Exhibit D)
___________________________________________________________________
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. At the time a
member is separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE
Code predicated upon the quality of their service and the
circumstances of their separation. After careful consideration of
the evidence provided, we are not persuaded that the assigned RE
code is in error or unjust or that an upgrade of the RE code is
warranted. Applicant’s RE code of 4E can be waived for prior
service enlistment consideration, provided he meets all other
requirements for enlistment and depending on the needs of the
particular service. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable action on this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
___________________________________________________________________
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.

AF | BCMR | CY2010 | BC-2010-00558
DPSOA states that Control Roster actions are not filed in the service members personnel records, or the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS). The evidence of record indicates the applicant was discharged after completing four years of service with an RE code of 4I. We have been advised the RE code of 4I is erroneous and his records will be corrected administratively by the Air Force office of primary responsibility to reflect the appropriate RE code of 4E.
AF | BCMR | CY2005 | bc-2005-00158
However, on 16 May 05, HQ AFPC/DPPAE advised the applicant that his 2H RE code was erroneous and had been administratively changed to 4E (grade is airman, airman basic, or A1C and the member has completed more than 31 months of service) - See Exhibit C. [Note: The 4E RE code is a waiverable code; i.e., if a member has an in-demand skill and is otherwise eligible, the Reserves may waive the immediate reenlistment impediment and accept him.] ...

His former Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) of 3P051 be reinstated. However, if the Board recommends the applicant’s rank of E-4 be restored, they recommend changing his RE code to 3K (i.e., Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the AFBCMR when no other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is appropriate). Evidence has not been presented which would lead us to believe that the nonjudicial punishment, initiated on 22 July 1999 and imposed on 30 July 1999, was improper.
