RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02884
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 4E (Grade is airman first class or below
and airman completed 31 or more months (55 months for 6-year
enlistees), if a first-term airman; or, grade is airman first
class or below and the airman is a second-term or career airman)
be changed to a 3 RE code series that would allow him to
reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He completed his enlistment in the Air Force with an honorable
discharge. He desires to reenlist in the Armed Forces. However,
the RE code he received (4E) is hindering his reenlistment.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement and college transcripts.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 October
1992.
Records reflect the applicant received punishment under Article
15 on 22 September 1995, for being drunk and disorderly. His
punishment consisted of a reduction in grade from airman first
class to airman and forfeiture of $100.00 pay per month for two
months.
The applicant was honorably discharged on 27 May 1997 in the
grade of airman first class under the provisions of AFI 36-3208
(Completion of Required Active Service). He served 4 years and
7 months on active duty. He received a RE code of 4E.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant was
demoted to A1C [sic] based on his own decisions and actions. The
applicants ineligibility for reenlistment was a result of the
Article 15 (non-judicial punishment) he received for being drunk
and disorderly. The applicant desires to rejoin the military,
however, if recruiting services will not waive his RE code,
changing it to circumvent their screening would not be
appropriate. He was given a RE code 4E in accordance with AFI
36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, chapter 3, based on his grade
and time in service. He submitted no evidence of error or
injustice in his records.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 5 November 2010, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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 injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air
Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a
change to his RE code to allow him to reenlist is warranted.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
