IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-
01317
INDEX CODE: 100.06,
110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 21 OCTOBER 2006
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed from “3A” to “1”
to permit reentry into the military without a waiver.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He separated from the Air Force under the Force Shaping Program
with an honorable discharge for general or miscellaneous reasons.
When trying to enlist, a Coast Guard recruiter told him the
separation code MND should have been accompanied by a 1 or 4
reentry code.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 Jul 02, in the
grade of airman first class, for a period of six years.
On 13 Jul 04, applicant submitted an AF Form 31, Airman’s Request
for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change in Service
Obligation, requesting voluntary separation for miscellaneous
reasons under the FY04 Force Shaping Program II. His application
was approved on 14 Jul 04, with an effective date of separation of
15 Jan 05.
On 15 Jan 05, applicant was honorably released from active duty in
the grade of senior airman, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
with separation program designator code “MND” (Release for
Miscellaneous/General Reasons). He was issued an RE Code of 3A,
“First-term airman separating before 36 months.” He served 2
years, 6 months, and 7 days of active military service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial stating, in part, based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
separation was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation.
Individuals released from active duty under the provisions of AFI
36-3208, paragraph 3.15, are given a separation program designator
(SPD) of MND (miscellaneous/general reasons).
In accordance with AFI 36-3606, Reenlistment in the United States
Air Force, Table 3.3, Item 1, applicant’s RE code was established
as 3A. The RE code 3A was based on the fact the applicant was a
first-term airman who was separating prior to completion of 36
months (60 months for a 6-year enlistee) on his current enlistment
and had no known disqualifying factors or ineligibility conditions
except grade, skill level and insufficient Total Active Federal
Military Service (TAFMS).
Individuals who receive a reenlistment eligibility code in
accordance with AFI 36-3606, Table 3.3, are ineligible for
immediate reenlistment (within 24 hours after separation), but
eligible for prior service enlistment with an approved waiver
(provided the individual is otherwise qualified).
The applicant voluntarily applied and was approved for separation.
The correct SPD and RE code were established upon his separation.
Provided the applicant is otherwise qualified, he is eligible for
reenlistment into the military with an approved waiver.
The complete Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 6 May 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of 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 circumstances of
their separation. After careful review of the available records
and the evidence submitted in support of this appeal, we find no
evidence that the assigned code is in error or contrary to the
governing instruction. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable
action on the applicant’s 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.

Separations from the Air Force based on those reasons would be detailed on the DD Form 214 as reasons for separation, and for ex-service-members who did not complete their first full term of service, a “Miscellaneous” separation generally would not serve as an exception for qualifying for UCX. Had she realized the importance of the narrative reason for discharge, she would have filed for early separation with her main reason, that being education. In order to provide the relief she seeks,...
