                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-02492
            INDEX CODE:  100.00

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  9 FEB 2009


___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility code of 2X  [first-term,  second-term,
or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under
the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)] be changed to an RE  code
which will allow him to reenlist in the Air Force.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He has never been derelict in the performance of  his  duties.   He
received two Air Force Good Conduct Medals during his career, which
serves as proof that he was not derelict in his duty performance.

In support of  his  appeal,  applicant  submitted  a  copy  of  his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active  Duty,
issued on 16 August 2006.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 March 1999 for  a
period  of  six  years  at  the  rank  of  airman  basic.   He  was
progressively promoted  to  the  rank  of  senior  airman  with  an
effective date and date of rank (DOR) of 30 August 2001.

On 31 May 2002, applicant extended his enlistment for a  period  of
16 months to qualify for an overseas permanent  change  of  station
(PCS) assignment.

On 11 May 2006, applicant’s supervisor initiated an  AF  Form  418,
Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration,  and  non-recommended
him  for  continued  service.   On  that  same  date,   applicant’s
commander  concurred  with  the  recommendation  and   denied   his
reenlistment.   The   applicant   acknowledged   receipt   of   the
commander’s intent and on 15 May  2006,  initialed  his  intent  to
appeal the decision.  On  29  June  2006,  applicant  extended  his
enlistment for a period of one month to process an SRP appeal.   On
10 July 2006, the appeal authority denied applicant’s appeal and he
acknowledged the decision on 17 July 2006.

On 16 August 2006, applicant was  honorably  released  from  active
duty under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, and  transferred  to  the
Air Force Reserve, by  reason  of  completion  of  required  active
service, and was issued an RE code of 2X.   He  was  credited  with
7 years and 5 months of active duty service, including 2 months and
25 days of foreign service.

On 25 February 2007, applicant was honorably  discharged  from  the
Air  Force  Reserve  under  the  provisions  of  AFI  36-3209,  and
furnished a DD Form 256AF.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this  application  and  recommended  denial,
stating, in part, after a review  of  the  personnel  record,  they
found no error or injustice to support the change  requested.   The
applicant’s commander  as  the  authority  on  recommendations  for
reenlistment or non-reenlistment of squadron  members,  recommended
non-reenlistment of the applicant and the appeal  authority  agreed
with the recommendation.

HQ  AFPC/DPPAE’s  complete  evaluation,  with  attachments,  is  at
Exhibit C.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  the  applicant
on 14 September 2007 for review and comment within 30 days.  As  of
this date, no response has been received by  this  office  (Exhibit
D).

___________________________________________________________________

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  that  he
has been the victim of an error or injustice.  At the time  members
are separated from the Air Force, they are  furnished  an  RE  code
predicated upon the quality of their service and the  circumstances
of their separation.  After  receiving  the  commander’s  decision,
applicant appealed this decision; however, his request was  denied.
As  a  result,  we  believe  the  applicant  was   afforded   every
opportunity in the appeal process and has not provided any evidence
to sufficiently convince the  Board  to  override  the  commander’s
earlier decision.  Applicant’s RE code of  2X  accurately  reflects
that he was considered but not selected for reenlistment under  the
Selective Reenlistment Program.  After a  thorough  review  of  the
evidence  of  record,  we  believe  that  given  the  circumstances
surrounding the applicant’s separation, the RE code issued  was  in
accordance with  the  governing  instruction.   Therefore,  in  the
absence  of  persuasive  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.
