 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. He be reinstated to the Air Force or his reentry (RE) code be 
changed to allow him to enter another branch of service 
(administratively corrected). 

 

2. Block 8b, Station Where Separated, on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He is not sure of the real reason for his discharge. He was 
given the option to cross train when he failed the Career 
Development Course (CDC), but was discharged instead. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of 
documents extracted from his military records. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force 
on 23 Aug 05. He was progressively promoted to the grade of 
airman first class (A1C). He served as a Support Technician and 
Weapons Load Crew Member. 

 

The applicant received a referral enlisted performance report for 
the period 24 Apr 07 through 23 Apr 08 due to his failure to 
receive a passing grade on his CDC and End of Course Exam. 

 

The applicant was separated under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Phase 
II Enlisted Date of Separation (DOS) Rollback Program. He was 


honorably discharged on 30 Jun 10. He served four years, ten 
months and eight days of active service. 

 

On 8 Jun 11, AFPC/DPSOA informed the applicant the RE code 4E 
(completed 31 or more months (55 months for 6-year enlistees, if 
a first-term airman (FTA); or, grade is A1C or below and the 
airman is a second-term or career airman), reflected on his DD 
Form 214, was incorrect and that his records will be 
administratively corrected to reflect the appropriate RE code of 
3A (FTA 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 TAFMS). 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of 
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant was selected to be 
separated under the FY10 Phase II Enlisted Date of Separation 
(DOS) Rollback in accordance with PDSM 10-15 because of his 
assigned RE code of 4E (completed 31 or more months (55 months 
for 6-year enlistees, if a first-term airman; or, grade is A1C or 
below and the airman is a second-term or career airman). His 
discharge was administered correctly based on his 4E RE code and 
carried out in accordance with PDSM 10-15 and the appropriate 
governing instructions. Notwithstanding the above, the 
applicant’s RE code should have been changed to 3A upon being 
selected for the DOS Rollback Program. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 24 Jun 11, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a 
response has not been received (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an error or injustice warranting the 
applicant’s reinstatement into the Air Force. The applicant 
contends he was approved for retraining and should never have 
been discharged. We took notice of the applicant’s complete 
submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we find no 
evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the discharge 
process. While it appears the applicant was in the midst of 
taking steps to qualify for retraining, the evidence of record 
indicates that he was appropriately selected for discharge under 
the FY10 Phase II DOS Rollback Program. In this respect, we note 
the comments by the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) indicating that he was selected for discharge under this 
program based on his assigned Reentry (RE) code of 4E. He has 
provided no evidence which would lead us to believe his discharge 
under the DOS Rollback Program was improper or contrary to the 
provisions of the governing instructions. Notwithstanding the 
above, sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice with respect 
to the station where the applicant was separated as reflected on 
his DD Form 214. The evidence indicates the applicant was 
separated from Mountain Home AFB, ID, instead of Randolph AFB, 
TX. We note the Air Force OPR has also determined the applicant 
should have been issued an RE code of 3A in conjunction with his 
discharge and will correct his records administratively. 
Therefore, we believe the applicant’s records should be corrected 
as indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to the APPLICANT, be corrected to show that Block 8b, Station Where Separated, on his DD Form 214, dated 30 June 2010, 
be amended to reflect “Mountain Home AFB, ID,” rather than 
“Randolph AFB, TX.”
