RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00287
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE) 4D (grade is Senior Airman or Sergeant,
completed at least 9 years TAFMS, but fewer than 16 years TAFMS,
and has not been selected for promotion to Staff Sergeant) be
changed to a code that will not bar him from enlisting in the
Air Force.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His reentry code of 4D is unjust because his character of
service was honorable. He is no longer eligible to enlist in
the Air Force because of his reentry code. At the time of his
separation, he did not realize that his RE code would bar him
from enlisting. He would not have taken the early out option.
He is still eligible to serve his country at his current age and
his reenlistment code is the only thing barring him from
enlisting.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 August 1979, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air
Force. He was progressively promoted to the grade of Staff
Sergeant (E-5). He was reduced to the grade of Sergeant (E-4)
as a result of an Article 15. He was released from active duty
under the provisions of Air Force Regulation 39-10, Enlisted
Personnel Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 3,
Strength Reduction First Term Airman Voluntary, on
20 September 1991. He received an honorable discharge and was
credited with serving 12 years, 1 month and 1 day on active
duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant has
not submitted evidence of an error or injustice with the
discharge process. The applicants separation from the Air
Force was authorized by the prescribing regulation and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states RE code 4D is driven
by his rank of Sergeant (E-4) and 12 years in service without
having a projected promotion to Staff Sergeant (E-5).
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 24 June 2011, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 applicants complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we are not persuaded by the evidence
submitted in his appeal that a change in his RE code is
warranted. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility, and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. In the absence of persuasive 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.
