_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 3D be changed.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

To the best of  her  knowledge  she  has  completed  all  enlistments,
including extensions that have been given to her without  any  service
breaks or interruptions of any kind.  She also was not told about  the
reentry code or any other code when given her DD Form  214.   She  was
asked to verify her personal information only which is correct.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of her DD Form 214,
copies of three  honorable  discharge  certificates,  a  copy  of  her
separation orders, a copy of her Permanent  Change  of  Station  (PCS)
orders, a copy of her latest extension  document  and  copies  of  her
airman/enlisted performance reports.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 8 March 1988.   Highest
grade held on  active  duty  was  staff  sergeant.   She  received  13
Airman/Enlisted Performance Reports for the combined rating  period  7
March 1989 through 30 November 1999, in which the overall  evaluations
were “9,” “4,” “5,” 4,” “5,” “5,” “4,” “5,” “5,” “5,”  “5,”  “5,”  and
“5.”

On 24 December 2000, applicant was honorably discharged by  reason  of
completion of required active  service,  after  serving  12  years,  9
months, and 17 days on active duty.  She received an RE code of  3D  -
Second-term or career airman who refused to get PCS or TDY  assignment
retainability.

The applicant is currently an active member of the Air  Force  Reserve
in the grade of technical sergeant, having been promoted to that grade
on 1 May 2003.  Her Effective Date of Initial Gain to Strength (EDIGS)
is 20 September 2001.  As of the Retirement Year Ending 2004, she  was
credited with 15 years, 9 months and 17 days of  satisfactory  Federal
service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE states on 6 September 2000, the applicant signed and  dated
an AF Form 964, PCS, TDY or Training Declination Statement  for  CONUS
assignment  consideration.   She  also   specifically   initialed   “I
understand that my declination to obtain full retainability to fulfill
an Air Force requirement is incompatible with a career or continuing a
career in the Air Force.  I have read the rules in AFRs 35-16 and  39-
29  pertaining  to  loss  of  reenlistment  (including  extension   of
enlistment)  and  promotion  eligibility  for   airmen   who   decline
retainability.”   Therefore,  they  recommend  denial  of  applicant’s
request.

A complete copy of the evaluation, with her AF Form 964, PCS,  TDY  or
Training Declination Statement, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 15 April 2005, 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.

_________________________________________________________________

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.  Evidence has not been  presented
that would lead us to believe the applicant’s RE code is erroneous  or
unjust.  The  evidence  indicates  the  applicant  was  ineligible  to
reenlist  based  on  her  official  written  declination   to   obtain
retainability for PCS assignment consideration.  By signing this form,
she signaled her understanding that  she  would  not  be  eligible  to
reenlist and there was no guarantee she would be able to enlist in the
Air Force under the prior service program  following  her  separation.
There is no indication in the available record that the applicant  was
miscounseled or coerced in any way to sign this  form.   We  note  the
applicant’s RE code is waiverable for the purposes of reentry  in  the
armed forces.  Whether a request for a waiver to permit her reentry is
approved, however, would be based on the needs of the service to which
she applies.  It appears she has exercised this option by applying and
being accepted for entry into the Air Force Reserve.  In view  of  the
above and absent  evidence  by  the  applicant  showing  her  RE  code
assigned at the time of her discharge from the  Regular  component  is
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation or  unjust,  we
are not inclined to favorably consider her request.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
