                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

      IN THE MATTER OF:            DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-03974
            INDEX CODE: 128.05
      XXXXXXX                     COUNSEL:  AMERICAN LEGION
                                   HEARING DESIRED:  YES

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry (RE) code of "2B" which denotes "Separated with  a  general  or
under-other-than-honorable-conditions (UOTHC) discharge” be upgraded so  he
can enlist in the Army.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 3 Dec 07, the applicant submitted an application to the Board requesting
his  character  of  service  be  upgraded  from  general  (under  honorable
conditions) to honorable.  He also requested his RE code of  "2B"  and  his
narrative reason for separation be upgraded.

On 8 Apr  08,  the  Board  considered  and  denied  his  request.   For  an
accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the  rationale
of the Board's earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings  at  Exhibit
H.

On 27 Aug 08, the applicant submitted an application requesting his RE code
of “2B” be upgraded to allow his entry in the Army.  He provided a personal
statement,  post  service  information  and  a  memorandum  from  an   Army
recruiter.  His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit I.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  After careful reconsideration of his request and  thoroughly  reviewing
his most recent submission, we do not find it  sufficiently  compelling  to
warrant a revision of the Board’s earlier determination in this  case.   We
remain unpersuaded that his RE code should be changed to a waiverable code.
 The RE code assigned for his separation is appropriate  and  correct.   We
also feel compelled to note that if  he  desires  to  do  so,  he  has  the
available option of applying for enlistment into another branch of  service
if they are willing to waive his RE code.  Whether or not he is  successful
in his attempts to return to the military will depend on the needs  of  the
service.

2.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially  add  to
our understanding of the issues involved.  Therefore,  the  request  for  a
hearing is not favorably considered.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of  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.
