RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00441
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, be corrected to remove Hardship as the narrative
reason.
2. Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code 4A Approved
Separation for Hardship or Dependency Reasons, be changed to
reflect eligibility to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
It has been over five years since her discharge from service and
the hardship has been resolved. She still has a strong desire to
continue her military career.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, her DD Form 214, AF Form 31, Airmans Request for
Early Separation Based on Change in Service Obligation, an
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for her son, and supporting
letters from supervisors and employers.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 08 Jul 93.
The applicant was released from active duty on 15 May 05 by
reason of Hardship with a Separation Code of KDB and a
Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 4A. She received an
honorable character of service and was credited with serving
11 years, 10 months, and 8 days.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the discharge to
include the narrative reason for separation was consistent with
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
instruction and was within the discretion of discharge authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states there is no evidence
of an error or injustice. The RE code 4A is the applicants
appropriate RE code and is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment
in the United States Air Force, chapter 6. The Air Force
intended to flag individuals who separate for hardship or
dependency reasons and the RE code 4A was written for this sole
purpose.
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 8 Jul 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 timely filed.
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 BCMR Medical Consultant and adopt his rationale as the
basis for our conclusion 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
