RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-
00942
INDEX CODE: 100.06;
110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 20 SEPTEMBER 2006
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “2Y” be changed so that
she can reenter the military as an officer.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her RE code is preventing her from reentering the military as an
officer.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provided a copy of her DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, a
court order approving her name change, and her Bachelor of Arts and
Master of Science Degree Certificates.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular Air
Force on 14 Jan 85, for a period of four years in the grade of
airman basic. On 4 Nov 86, she extended her initial enlistment for
an additional six months. Her highest grade held was senior
airman.
Applicant’s Airman Performance Report (APR) profile follows:
PERIOD ENDING OVERALL EVALUATION
14 Oct 85 9
14 Oct 86 9
11 Apr 87 9
22 Nov 87 9
1 Jul 88 7
On 13 Jul 89, applicant was honorably released from active duty in
the grade of senior airman, under the provisions of AFR 39-10, with
separation program designator code “K13” (Completion of Extended
Enlistment). She was issued an RE Code of 2Y, “First-term, second-
term or career airman whose appointment to NCO status has been
denied or vacated.” She served 4 years and 6 months of active
military service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial stating, in part, it is evident the
applicant’s commander made final nonselection or vacated her NCO
status which resulted in the RE code of 2Y.
The applicant’s record review rip (RRR) dated 12 Jul 89 revealed
the applicant’s NCO status had been denied and was updated by base
personnel officials. The RRR clearly shows the applicant’s
commander vacated or denied the applicant’s NCO status.
Additionally, the applicant’s AF Form 909, Airman Performance
Report (23 Nov 87 through 1 Jul 88), Section VI, 1st Indorser’s
Comments, clearly supports the updates made by personnel officials.
“SrA XXXXXXXX has not consistently demonstrated the level of
commitment for self-improvement efforts which are necessary to
achieve NCO status. At this time SrA XXXXXXXX is not qualified to
assume greater responsibility.”
The complete Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 Jun 05, 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration
of the available records, the RE code assigned at the time of the
applicant’s separation appears to be technically correct and in
accordance with the governing regulation. Nevertheless, the
majority of the Board believes some relief is appropriate in this
case. Although the specific circumstances surrounding the
applicant’s denial of noncommissioned (NCO) status are unknown, the
majority of the Board notes that her overall record of service
reflects good duty performance. In view of this, and noting her
post-service educational accomplishments, the majority of the Board
believes it would be an injustice for the applicant to continue to
suffer the adverse effects of the assigned RE code and that she
should be afforded a second chance to serve. Therefore, the
majority of the Board recommends that her RE code be changed to 4D,
which is a code that can be waived for prior service enlistment
consideration, provided applicant meets all other requirements for
enlistment under an existing prior service program.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that at the time of her
discharge on 13 July 1989, she was issued a Reenlistment
Eligibility (RE) Code of “4D.”
