RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00339 

 INDEX CODE: 110.00 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of “4H” which denotes “Serving suspended 
punishment pursuant to Article 15, Uniform Code of Military 
Justice (UMCJ)” be changed to allow him to reenlist. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He performed exceptionally and received recognition from the wing 
command post. He is not sure if the RE code was given due to a 
reduction in force or if his Article 15 that had expired was 
never removed from his records. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report, and a personal letter. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22 January 
2002. He was progressively promoted to the grade of senior 
airman, having assumed the grade effective and with a date of 
rank of 22 January 2005. 

 

On 5 April 2005, he received an Article 15 for being absent from 
his place of duty without authority. His punishment consisted of 
reduction to the grade of airman first class, suspended through 4 
October 2005, and a letter of reprimand. 

 

He was honorably discharged on 21 January 2006 and served four 
years on active duty. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA will administratively correct the applicant’s record 
to “3K” which denotes “Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the AFBCMR 
when no other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is 
appropriate” unless otherwise directed by the Board.” 

 

 


On 2 August 2010, the applicant requested his application be 
closed in order to provide additional information (Exhibit F). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFLOA/JAJM recommends denial in regards to the Article 15. JAJM 
states the applicant was not serving on a suspended punishment to 
the Article 15 on his date of separation of 21 January 2006. His 
suspended reduction was automatically remitted on 5 October 2005. 
JAJM recommends the apparent agencies clarify the applicant’s RE 
code. 

 

The complete JAJM evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA states the applicant’s RE code will be 
administratively changed to “3K.” This RE code is the most 
appropriate code at this time; however, he will still require a 
waiver to reenter the military. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant states he closed his request in order to contact 
the Director of Operations for a letter of reference. However, 
he was unsuccessful. He agrees with the recommendation of 
changing his RE code to 3K. 

 

The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit H. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 to warrant 
changing his RE code to allow him to reenlist. We note that 
DPSOA will administratively correct the applicant’s records to 
reflect he received a “3K” RE code. We took notice of the 
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the 
case; however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of 
the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 


absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting his request. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
