RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02242
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His reentry (RE) code of 3A (First term airman who
separates before completing 36 months on current enlistment and
who has no known disqualifying factors or ineligibility
conditions except grade, skill level, and insufficient Total
Active Federal Military Service) be changed to allow him to
reenlist in the military.
2. His separation code and narrative reason for separation be
changed to reflect his release from active duty was due to Force
Shaping rather than Miscellaneous/General Reasons.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He received a Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) eligibility
certificate; however, when he went to use it to purchase a home,
the DVA loan was denied. The DVA indicated they disapproved his
loan due to line #28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) on his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement, a letter to his local Congressman, copies of his DD
Form 214, a copy of his separation order, an electronic
communication in regard to his separation, and DVA documentation.
A copy of the applicants complete submission, with attachments,
is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 11 May 2004, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force
in the grade of airman basic (E-1). He was promoted to the grade
of airman (E-2) with a date of rank of 11 November 2004.
On 14 April 2005, the applicant requested early separation under
the Fiscal Year 2004 Limited Active Duty Service Commitment
(LADSC) Waiver Program. His date of separation was approved in
accordance with Military Personnel Flight Memorandum (MPFM) 04-
35, dated 11 August 2004.
The applicant was honorably discharged effective 22 June 2005
with an RE code of 3A, a separation code of MND, and a
narrative reason for separation of Miscellaneous/General
Reasons.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that according to
MPFM 04-35, personnel who separate under the LADSC Waiver Program
will do so under the miscellaneous provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-3208. Based on the documentation on file in the
master personnel records, the applicants discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge regulation. The applicant did not submit any
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in
the separation processing. He provided no facts warranting a
change to his separation action. His narrative reason for
separation of Miscellaneous/General Reasons is correct.
The complete DPSOS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant does
not give a reason his RE code is incorrect, but states he was
told it is not correct. After reviewing his master personnel
record along with the documentation he provided, the applicants
RE code of 3A is correct, as he only completed 1 year, 1 month,
and 12 days of his four-year enlistment. According to AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, Chapter 3, all four-year
enlistees who separate prior to completing 36 months of service
receive an RE code of 3A, as long as a negative RE code does
not apply.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 17 December 2010, for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, this office has received no 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 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
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 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.
