RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04292
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 3A, which denotes First-term airman
who separates before completing 36 months (60 months for 6-year
enlistee) on current enlistment and who has no known
disqualifying factors or ineligibility conditions except grade,
skill level, and insufficient total active federal military
service (TAFMS) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He received a honorable discharge from the Air Force but cannot
reenlist because of his RE code. In order for him to return to
service, he must have a RE code of 1A, which denotes Ineligible
to reenlist, but condition waived.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 April 2007, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air
Force.
On 3 October 2008, the applicant received a Letter of Reprimand
(LOR) for failing to report an off-base accident involving an
airman he knew. On 16 April 2010, the applicant was denied the
Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM) for not reporting an
accident and failing his Physical Training (PT) test.
On 12 August 2010, the applicant applied for separation
(miscellaneous reasons) in accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. On 11 October 2010, the
applicant separated with an honorable discharge. He served 3
years, 5 months and 18 days of total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS addressed the reason for the applicants
separation. DPSOS states the applicants discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge regulation. Additionally, the applicant did not
submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the separation processing.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his 3A RE code. DPSOA states the applicants RE code
is correct and required based on his 6 year enlistment and time
in service at the time of separation. Per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air Force, all 6 year
enlistees who separate prior to completing 60 months of service
receive a RE code of 3A.
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 6 May 2011, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice with respect to
the applicants request for a change in his RE code. The RE
Code 3A issued at the time of his separation accurately
reflects the circumstances of his separation and should remain
unchanged. Therefore, 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. 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.
