_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment (RE) code be changed to permit reentry into the military.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was not represented properly when responding to her  placement  on  the
control roster.  The attorney assigned to her base was on a temporary  duty
assignment; therefore she had to seek representation  from  another  state.
She states she was only an airman defending herself against a technical and
master sergeant as well as her first sergeant and  commander.   She  states
her NCOIC, superintendent, direct supervisor were new and did  not  support
her.   In  addition,  since  separating  from  the  Air  Force,   she   has
successfully maintained steady employment, her children are well cared  for
and she has not faced any problems with any of the jobs she has held.   She
wants the opportunity to reenter the military  because  she  felt  part  of
something and enjoyed being of service to her country.   She  believes  she
would be an asset to the Navy.

In support of her request, the applicant  submits  a  personal  letter  and
character references.

Her complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 8 March 2001 in the grade of  airman
basic.  Since she was a six year enlistee, on 10 July 2001 she was promoted
to airman first class.

On 26 February 2004 she was notified by her commander that  she  was  being
discharged from the United States Air Force (USAF) under  the  Fiscal  Year
2004 Force Shaping Program.  The specific reason she fell under  the  Force
Shaping Program  was  that  she  was  placed  on  the  control  roster  for
unacceptable behavior and duty performance. She was given 120 days from the
date of notification to separate from the USAF with an honorable discharge.
 On the same day, she acknowledged receipt of the notification.

At the time of her separation, she  was  serving  on  the  control  roster,
therefore her RE code was established as  "4I"  which  denotes  serving  on
control roster."

On 25 June 2004, she was honorably discharged from the USAF in the grade of
senior airman.

She served 3 years, 3 months and 18 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states her commander was afforded  the
opportunity to determine if her retention was warranted and, if  authorized
change her codes.  The applicant was denied retention and  separated  under
the Force Shaping Program guidance announced 3 February  2004  that  rolled
back dates of separation based on certain codes.   There  is  no  error  or
injustice.

The complete DPPAE evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  DPPRS states the  discharge  was  consistent
with  the  procedural  and  substantive  requirements  of   the   discharge
regulation.  In addition, the discharge was within the sound discretion  of
the discharge authority.  She did not submit any new evidence  or  identify
any errors or injustices that occurred in her  discharge  processing.   Her
separation was authorized by the authority of HQ USAF and she received  the
correct RE code.  She provided no facts warranting a change to her RE code.

The complete DPPRS evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant  on  10
August 2007 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this  date,  this
office has received no response (Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by  existing  law  or
regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has  been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of an injustice warranting corrective action.   Even  though  the
applicant has provided no evidence to show that her separation was improper
or not in compliance with the appropriate  regulations,  it  is  the  Board
majority's opinion that relief is warranted in this case.  In this respect,
after careful  review  of  the  applicant's  available  military  personnel
records and giving credence  to  the  support  received  from  members  and
leaders of her local community, the Board majority  believes  that  a  good
probability exists that she may be able to provide effective and meaningful
service to our nation as a member of the armed  forces.   Accordingly,  the
Board majority believes that correction of her RE code to a waiverable code
is warranted based on the merits of this  case.   Whether  or  not  she  is
successful in her attempts to return to the military  will  depend  on  the
needs of the service and our recommendation in no way guarantees  that  she
will be allowed to return to any branch of service.  Therefore,  the  board
majority recommends that her records be corrected to the  extent  indicated
below.
