RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03685
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2H (Ineligible Airman in track 4 or
5 of Substance Abuse Reorientation and Treatment (SART) for
Alcohol, or failed Track 4) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He completed the required alcohol abuse program at an accelerated
rate because he was being offered an early discharge. While
serving in the military he was recognized for serving above and
beyond. He did not receive any documents to prove he completed
the required alcohol classes, but believes his RE code should be
changed due to his service to his country and the fact that he
met the mandated requirements of completing the SART program.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 27 Oct 81
and was progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman (E-
4), having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank
of 1 Mar 84. He received an honorable discharge on 15 Sep 85
after serving 3 years, 10 months, and 19 days on active duty
Additional relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the
Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts
in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants
narrative reason for separation reflects Early Separation
Program Strength Reduction and an RE code of 2H. After
reviewing the applicants personnel and medical records, DPSOA
notes there are no entries showing he completed the SART program.
In addition, DPSOA requested additional information to support
his claims; however, the applicant did not respond. DPSOA cannot
support the applicants request since he has failed to provide
sufficient evidence that calls for a change in his RE code.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 15 Apr 11 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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of
the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that 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.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C. HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommended applicant’s request be denied. They also noted applicant did not submit any evidence or facts warranting a change to his separation code or reenlistment eligibility code. At the time a member is separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE Code predicated upon the quality of their service and the circumstances of their separation.
When it was time for him to go on terminal leave, he had one final team meeting to discuss his progress with his supervisor, counselor, first sergeant, commander, and the officer overseeing the SART program. After a thorough review of the available records, we found no evidence that the RE code assigned at the time of applicant’s separation was in error or contrary to the governing regulation. Accordingly, we recommend that the records be corrected as indicated below.
