RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-02733
INDEX CODE: 112.10
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 MARCH 2009
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code of "4L" which denotes "Separated commissioning program
eliminee" be changed to "1A" which denotes "Ineligible to reenlist, but
condition waived."
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During his time at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA), there were no adverse
actions in his Cadet Personnel Record (CPR-II). He received an honorable
discharge from the Air Force and was highly recommended for future officer
training by both his Air Officer Commanding Officer and Group Commander
when he left the USAFA.
In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of DD Form 785,
Record of Disenrollment from Officer Candidate - Type Training; DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty; DD Form 256 AF,
Honorable Discharge Certificate; USAFA IMT 34, Cadet Separation
Clearance/Referral and letters from the USAFA.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant entered the USAFA on 30 June 2005.
On 17 August 2006, the applicant submitted his request for resignation from
the USAFA for personal reasons.
On 29 September 2006 his request was approved.
At the time of his resignation, there were no adverse actions in his CPR II
but the applicant was on academic probation. His cumulative Grade Point
Average was 1.76, his cumulative Military Performance Average was 2.63, and
his cumulative Physical Education Average was 2.62.
On 27 October 2006, the applicant was honorably discharged.
His service was not creditable for any purpose in a commissioned officer
status. In addition, he did not complete his first full term of service.
He was enrolled in the USAFA for a total of 1 year, 3 months and 28 days.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
USAFA/DPYQ provides no recommendation. DPYQ states a memorandum from the
United States Secretary of Defense, directed that Cadets and Midshipmen who
eliminate from a service academy must receive a reentry code in block 27 of
their DD Form 214. The USAFA continues to use the reentry code of "4L" in
accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force.
In addition, AFI 36-2012, Record of Disenrollment from Office Candidate
Type Training, directs anyone disenrolled from a service academy for any
reason will have a DD Form 785 completed. Military services use the DD
Form 785 to exchange information on a person previously disenrolled from
officer candidate training and Section IV includes an evaluation to be
considered for acceptance into future training. Therefore, the applicant
was given this code as a result of disenrolling from the USAFA and not a
result of adverse actions.
The complete DPYQ evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 21
September 2007 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response (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 an error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s
complete submission in judging the merits of the case, however; we agree
with the Air Force office of primary responsibility that his RE code is
correct in accordance with established policy. Therefore we adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been
the victim of an error or injustice. 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.

The procedures for completing a DD Form 785 are contained in AFI36- 2012, Record of Disenrollment from Officer Candidate-Type Training DD Form785, and are quite specific; however, his DD Form 785 contains falsehoods and is written in a highly inflammatory and prejudicial manner. An MPA of 2.73 is impossible for a cadet that would have already been on aptitude and conduct probation prior to being found guilty of dating a Cadet 4th Class (C4C) and maintaining an off base residence. When...
