RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-02314
INDEX CODE: 100.06
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 20 January 2009
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code be changed to “3H” or “1H”.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE Code of “4H” is preventing him from entering the Coast Guard.
When he left the Air Force in 2004, it was on a voluntary basis, he
received an honorable discharge, and he should still be able to join
another branch of the service.
In support of his appeal, he has submitted a copy of his DD Form 214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force for four years on 14 October
1999, and extended his enlistment for 20 months in February 2001. His
records indicate that while he was serving in the grade of senior airman (E-
4), he was given an Article 15 in April 2004 for, on or about 21 March
2004, physically controlling a passenger vehicle while the alcohol
concentration in his breath was 0.08 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of
breath or greater as shown by chemical analysis. His punishment consisted
of a reduction to the grade of airman first class (E-3), forfeiture of
$792.00 pay per month for two months, suspended through 15 October 2004,
and a reprimand.
At the time of his discharge on 16 December 2004, he was serving in the
grade of airman first class (E-3), and had completed 5 years, 2 months, and
3 days of net active service. He was given a service characterization of
honorable, a Narrative Reason for Separation of “Completion of Required
Active Service”, and an RE Code of “4H” (Serving suspended punishment
pursuant to Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial of applicant’s request for upgrade of his RE
code to “1#” or “3#”. However, they point out that at the time of his
separation, he was no longer serving the suspended portion of his Article
15, and recommend that the Board direct his RE code be changed to a more
appropriate code of “4E” (Grade is airman first class or below and airman
completed 31 or more months (55 months for 6-year enlistees), if a first-
term airman; or grade is airman first class or below and the airman is a
second-term or career airman).
The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 31
August 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice to grant the applicant partial relief.
After reviewing the evidence of record, it appears that the applicant’s
separation was proper and in compliance with the appropriate regulations in
effect at the time. However, the Board notes that the applicant was no
longer serving the suspended portion of the non-judicial punishment at the
time of his separation. Given this, the Board feels that a Reentry Code of
“4E” more accurately reflects his service, and recommends his records be
corrected to the extent indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of his discharge on 16
December 2004, he was issued a Reentry Code of “4E”.
