RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-03541
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment (RE) code of 2X (first-term, second-term or
career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under
the Selective Reenlistment Program) be changed to an enlistment-
eligible code.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She received her RE code due to strength reduction. She feels
this code was given to her unjustly due to personality
conflicts.
She was found to be a good airman for a period of practically
ten years but approximately three weeks prior to her
reenlistment, she was told that she was no longer Air Force
material. She has since reenlisted into the Air National Guard
and has been with her unit for almost ten years.
She feels the unjust action took away her ability to be promoted
with her peers and obtain a retirement from an active duty
component. She was unable to reenlist into many components
because of her RE code
She would like to have her record corrected and any and all
injustices associated with this infraction corrected and
annotated in her retirement file.
She never received anything other than a counseling statement
during her 10 years of service.
She has no copies of her personnel records as they were changed
numerous times prior to her situation to include being informed
she, as an E-4 sergeant, was disrespectful to an E-3 airman,
when asked about a copy on a copier.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Available records reflect the applicant entered the Regular Air
Force on 2 Feb 83 and was honorably discharged under the early
separation program due to strength reduction on 15 Sep 88 and
received an RE code of 2X. Her DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued in conjunction
with her 15 Sep 88 discharge, reflects she was credited with
5 years, 7 months, and 14 days of active service and 4 years,
1 month, and 12 days of prior active service.
She enlisted in the Georgia Army National Guard on 5 Jan 00 and
served for a period of 1 year, 9 months, and 7 days. She was
discharged on 12 Oct 01 for reenlistment into the Air National
Guard.
She enlisted in the Air National Guard (ANG) on 11 Aug 03 and
was honorably discharged on 3 Apr 04 with the narrative reason
for separation of completion of required active duty training.
She was credited with 7 months and 23 days of active service.
Her DD Form 214 for this period of service does not have a
separation code or reenlistment code in accordance with ANG
instructions.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends the application be time barred and if the
Board considers the application, it be denied, as she has not
provided proof of an error or injustice.
Further, DPSOA states that although there are no records to
verify her RE code, she would have had to have an ineligible RE
code to be affected by the early separation/strength reduction
program.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluations was forwarded to the
applicant on 11 Dec 09 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We note that
when members are separated from the Air Force, they are
furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of their
service and the circumstances at the time of their separation.
The evidence of record indicates the applicant was discharged
under the Early Separation Program, as part of a force shaping
initiative, and assigned an RE code of 2X. This particular code
is given to first or second-term airmen who are considered and
nonselected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment
Program. Based on the available evidence, the RE code
accurately reflects the circumstances of her separation, and we
are not persuaded the applicant was improperly denied
reenlistment because of an abuse of discretionary authority
resulting from personality conflicts. Further, since it appears
the applicant was able to enlist in the Air National Guard, the
RE code of 2X has not been a bar to her further service in the
military. In view of the above, and in the absence of evidence
to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
4. 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 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.
