AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-00507
INDEX CODE: 100.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 13 SEP 2008
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment code (RE) of 2 be change to an RE1.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He volunteered during the Vietnam Conflict, served honorably, and
his previous reviews were good. He wants his children and
grandchildren to know the truth. He believes his discharge was a
result of retaliation of a sergeant that “had it in for me” because
he talked to the commanding officer about mistreatment.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22 Jan 65 in the
grade of airman basic for a period of four years. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of sergeant with an effective
date and a date of rank of 1 May 68.
On 9 Aug 68, applicant was nonselected for reenlistment by his
squadron section commander. On 13 Oct 68, he was honorably
released from active duty under the provisions of AFM 39-10, was
issued an RE code of 2. He was credited with 3 years, 8 months,
and 22 days of active duty service. On 21 Jan 71, applicant was
honorably discharged from the Air Force Reserve.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and recommended denial. A
review of the applicant’s records reflects that on 9 Aug 68, an SAC
Form 495, Selection Notification and Airman Action (Selective
Reenlistment for First Term Airmen) was initiated and
nonrecommended reenlistment. The applicant acknowledged the
nonselection and on 16 Aug 68 indicated his intent to appeal the
action; however, no further action relating to the nonselection for
reenlistment in his records. On 21 Aug 68, an AF Form 899, was
completed on the applicant, with retention code 2 in the Remarks
section.
HQ AFPC/DPPAE’s complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit
C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He was only nineteen years old when he voluntarily enlisted in the
Air Force and gave close to four years to his country only to have
a sergeant at the last two months of service unjustly tarnish his
reputation and stigmatize his career for forty years.
Applicant further explained the some of the events which occurred
during his service.
Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
___________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the
case. However, the Board found that 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. Applicant’s RE code of 2 accurately reflects
that he was not selected for reenlistment and given the
circumstances surrounding his separation, we believe the RE code
issued was in accordance with the governing manuals. The applicant
was separated with over three years of honorable service. The
personal sacrifice the applicant contributed to his country is
noted and our decision in no way diminishes the high regard we have
for his service. In view of the above, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
___________________________________________________________________
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.
