HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 25 MARCH 2007

___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Discharge from Active Duty. She wants her RE code changed so that
she may reenter the active duty military.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 Sep 03, for a
period of six years in the grade of airman basic.
On 28 Sep 04, applicant voluntarily submitted an AF IMT 31,
Airman’s Request for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change in
Service Obligation, requesting separation under the Air Force’s
Force Shaping Program, Phase II. The applicant offered the
following reasons for her request: (1) The Air Force was not
providing the opportunities that she expected; (2) She would rather
go to school to get her health, movement, and science degree; (3)
She did not plan on making the Air Force a career, and would like
to get a jump start on her life as a civilian. On 30 Sep 04, the
section commander approved applicant’s request for separation.
Applicant was honorably released from active duty and transferred
to the Air Force Reserve on 16 Jan 05, in the grade of airman first
class, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, by reason of
miscellaneous/general reasons, and was issued an RE Code of 3A
(first-term airman who separates before completing 36 months (60
months for a 6-year enlistee) on current enlistment and who has no
known disqualifying factors or ineligibility conditions except
grade, skill level and insufficient TAFMS). She served 1 year, 4
months, and 1 day of active military service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied and states, in
part, in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United
States Air Force, Table 3.3, applicant’s reenlistment eligibility
code was established as 3A (first-term airman who separates before
completing 36 months (60 months for a 6-year enlistee) on current
enlistment and who has no known disqualifying factors or
ineligibility conditions except grade, skill level and insufficient
TAFMS), which is correct. The reenlistment eligibility code of 3A
made applicant ineligible for immediate reenlistment (within 24
hours after separation), but eligible for prior service enlistment
with an approved waiver, provided she is otherwise qualified.
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. The separation was
within the discretion of the discharge authority. Additionally,
the applicant provided no evidence or identified any errors or
injustices that occurred in the separation processing. She
indicates in her application that there is no error on her DD Form
214.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, is
at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 7 Oct 05, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a
reply has not 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 the
applicant 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, 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.

She did not receive any notice of the debt during the eight months after her separation from the Air Force. JA states the Air Force Shaping Program provided certain individuals with an opportunity to voluntarily opt out of their enlistments on the condition that they repay any bonuses received. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the applicant should be given the relief requested.
