RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2009-01103
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NOT INDICATED

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The following changes be made to her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release  or
Discharge from Active Duty:

      1.  Her separation code of “KBK” and narrative reason  (Completion  of
Required Active  Service)  be  changed  to  “MBK”  (Expiration  of  Term  of
Service) as indicated on her AF  IMT  100,  Request  for  Authorization  for
Separation.

      2.  Her reentry (RE) code of 2X (First-term,  second-term,  or  career
airman considered but not  selected  for  reenlistment  under  the  SRP)  be
changed to correspond with the separation code of MBK.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was released from  active  duty  and  transferred  to  the  Air  Reserve
Personnel Center (ARPC) in  Denver,  CO.   Her  orders  were  processed  and
signed by the Military Personnel  Flight  (MPF).   Other  documents  in  her
records state her separation was voluntary and no reentry  code  was  stated
or required.  Several months prior to her discharge, she was  informed  that
she was not being recommended for  reenlistment;  however,  these  documents
state otherwise.

Her initial feedback was not conducted  in  a  timely  manner  and  she  was
informed that  her  non-recommendation  for  reenlistment  was  due  to  her
personnel information file (PIF).  She was not afforded  an  opportunity  to
correct and improve her performance.

In support of the application, the applicant submits copies of  her  AF  IMT
100, DD Form 214, separation/retirement letter, reenlistment code letter,  a
letter of recognition and a letter of appreciation.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states  the  applicant’s  status  on
her  separation  orders  is  incorrect  and  should  be  amended   to   read
“discharge.”  There is  no  AF  Form  418,  Selective  Reenlistment  Program
Consideration, in the applicant’s records to indicate her selection or  non-
selection for reenlistment; however, she stated in her application that  she
had been informed of her non-recommendation for reenlistment  prior  to  her
separation.

Although  the  applicant’s  RE  code  is  not  entered  on  her   separation
paperwork, it  was  in  the  system.   Commander’s  have  the  authority  to
initiate a Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) at any  time.   The  program
considers EPR  ratings;  unfavorable  information  (from  any  substantiated
source); willingness to comply with Air Force standards and/or  ability  (or
lack of) to meet required training; and duty  performance  levels.   Members
who are ineligible to reenlist will be  offered  voluntary  separation  upon
their date of separation if  involuntary  separation  action  has  not  been
initiated.

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

HQ  AFPC/DPSOS  recommends  denial.   DPSOS  states  at  the  time  of   her
separation,  the  applicant’s  RE  code  did  not  allow  her  to  reenlist;
therefore, she was discharged.

The applicant’s DD Form  214  is  correct  and  she  has  not  provided  any
evidence of an error or injustice to warrant the requested  changes  to  her
discharge characterization.  Based on  the  documentation  on  file  in  the
master personnel records, the discharge  to  include  her  separation  code,
narrative reason for separation and type of separation  were  in  accordance
with Air Force policy.

The complete DPSOS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Since her discharge, she has been attending college to achieve her  goal  of
a Bachelor’s degree in Computer and  Information  Systems  Management.   She
should receive her degree in May 2011 and would like to serve as an  officer
in the Air Force.

In May 2009, she received her Associate’s degree in General Studies  with  a
grade point average of 2.35 and has been tentatively  selected  for  an  Air
Reserve Technician position with the Air  Force  Reserve  Command;  however,
she is having a difficult time because of her RE code of 2X.  There  was  no
negative information found in her  records  in  regard  to  her  separation;
therefore, she received the RE code of 2X in error.

A verbal non-recommendation for reenlistment  should  not  be  justification
for her receiving the RE code of 2X and the separation code of “KBK.”

She truly desires to defend and serve her country again.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   After  careful  consideration  of  the
applicant's request  and  the  available  evidence  of  record,  we  see  no
evidence of an error or  injustice  that  would  warrant  a  change  of  the
applicant's separation or reenlistment codes.  We  agree  with  the  opinion
and recommendation of the Air Force offices of  primary  responsibility  and
adopt the rationale expressed as the  basis  for  our  conclusion  that  the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or  injustice.   We  note  the
applicant   submitted   documentation   pertaining   to   her   post-service
activities; however, we do  not  find  the  evidence  provided  sufficiently
persuasive to  warrant  the  approval  of  her  request.   Accordingly,  the
applicant’s request is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
