RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 2005-03745
INDEX CODE: 100.06,
110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 10 JUNE 2007
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed to a favorable
code to permit reentry into the military.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The separation code he received indicates an involuntary separation
which caused his reentry code to be unfavorable.
His separation from the Air Force Academy was voluntary. He made
the decision to leave on his own behalf.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided a copy of USAFA
Form 0-112-1, Request and Authorization for Reassignment/Separation
– Air Force Military.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant entered the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) on
30 Jun 05. On 30 Aug 05, he voluntarily submitted a request for
resignation from the USAFA for personal reasons. On 14 Sep 05, the
Superintendent of the USAFA accepted his tender of resignation and
directed that he receive an entry-level separation.
On 20 Sep 05, the applicant received an uncharacterized entry level
separation and was issued an RE code of 4L (separated commissioning
program eliminee). He served 2 months and 21 days of active
military service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ USAFA/DPY reviewed the application and stated, the member
volunteered to leave; however, when a member is separated from a
commissioning program the RE code 4L is used regardless of the
underlying reasons behind the separation, as listed in AFI 36-2606.
From their position, as well as, the Directorate of Personnel
Program Management Office at AFPC, this is the only applicable
code. The RE code 4L is appropriate for anyone who is a
commissioning program eliminee. His separation orders indicate he
voluntarily separated, as well as his DD Form 785, Record of
Disenrollment from Officer Candidate – Type Training.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit
B.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 23 Dec 05, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office. (Exhibit C)
___________________________________________________________________
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 the RE
code should be changed. We find no error or injustice with regards
to the assigned RE code. 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.
The assigned code reflects the Air Force’s position regarding
whether or not, or under what circumstances, the individual should
be allowed to reenlist. The applicant’s RE Code 4L is appropriate
for anyone who is eliminated from a commissioning program,
regardless of the underlying reasons behind the separation.
Applicant’s RE code 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. In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence
to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider
his request to change his reenlistment eligibility code.
___________________________________________________________________
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.
