RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-01016
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 4D (Grade is Senior Airman or Sergeant,
completed at least nine years Total Active Federal Military
Service (TAFMS), but fewer than 16 years of TAFMS, and has not
been selected for promotion to Staff Sergeant) be changed to
allow him to enlist in the Air National Guard (ANG).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He never knew the meaning of the RE code and its affect on his
ability to reenlist.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge from the
Armed Forces of the United States.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 Mar 84, the applicant contracted his initial enlistment in
the Regular Air Force. He was progressively promoted to the
grade of sergeant having assumed that grade effective and with a
date of rank of 19 Aug 83. He was honorably discharged on
1 Mar 94. He was credited with 10 years and 28 days of active
service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant did not
submit any evidence or identified any errors or injustices in the
processing of his discharge. Based on the documentation on file
in the applicants military personnel records, his date of
separation was appropriately administered and within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant
received the RE code of 4D because at the time of his discharge
he was a sergeant and did not have a projected promotion date for
staff sergeant.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant
on 18 Dec 09, for review and comment within 30 days. 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and the
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of
proof of the existence 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
circumstances of their separation. After a thorough review of
the evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances
surrounding the applicants separation, the RE code issued was in
accordance with the appropriate directives. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.
