INDEX CODE: 110.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 30 November 2008
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry Code (RE) of 4E be changed to reflect a present code.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE Code of 4E is a separation code listed for Army personnel from the
Korean War.
He had three Article 15s for underage drinking, and he does not believe
this RE code adequately reflects the required entry {sic} code for minor
offenses or similar cases.
In support of his appeal, he has submitted a copy of his DD Form 214, dated
15 March 2007.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for four years and entered
active duty on 17 June 2003. He served 3 years, 8 months, and 29 days of
net active service as a heavy equipment and pavements specialist before
being honorably released from active duty in the grade of airman first
class (E-3) on 15 March 2007. He is presently assigned to the Obligated
Reserve Section (ORS) at the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) until
completion of his Military Service Obligation (MSO) of 17 June 2011.
Applicant voluntarily submitted a request for separation under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph 3.15 (miscellaneous reasons) via an AF
IMT 31, Airman’s Request for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change in
Service Obligation. He requested a separation date prior to his Expiration
of Term of Service (ETS) date of 17 June 2007, in order to accept full-time
employment with Raytheon Technologies. His commander approved his
application on 5 February 2007, and he was separated on 15 March 2007 and
given an RE Code of “4E” (Grade is airman first class or below and airman
completed 31 or more months if a first-term airman) IAW AFI 36-2606,
Reenlistment in the United States Air Force, Table 3.4, Item 5.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Based on the documentation on file in his
master personnel records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural
and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation, and was within
the discretion of the discharge authority. He did not submit any evidence
or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge
processing, and has provided no facts warranting a change to his RE code.
The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 13 July
2007, for review and comment, within 30 days. However, as of this date, no
response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Based
on the documentation on file in his master personnel records, the RE code
is correct in that he was a first-term airman serving in the pay grade of E-
3, and had completed more than 31 months at the time of his voluntary
separation. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
________________________________________________________________
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.
