HEARING DESIRED: YES
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reinstated into the Air Force.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was denied reenlistment and discharged from the military over
one mistake. He was never given the opportunity to defend
himself against false allegations of mismanaging the First Aid
Kit Program. He received an enlisted performance report and
there was no indication that he would not be able to reenlist.
He was never given a reason why he was being denied
reenlistment, he was just told the commander would not approve
or disapprove his reenlistment paperwork. He was continuously
told there would be a civilian position opening and it was best
that he applied for that position.
He has joined the Air Force Reserves, but does not understand
how he could join the Reserves, yet, be unable to continue with
his active duty career.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement and several letters of support.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the regular Air Force on 4 February
2003. He was progressively promoted to the grade of Staff
Sergeant. He was discharged on 4 February 2011, after serving
8 years on active duty. He received an honorable discharge.
His narrative reason for separation was listed as completion of
required active service. His reentry code was listed as “1J”
(eligible to reenlist, but elects separation). According to
the Military Personnel Data System, the applicant applied and
was approved for voluntary separation.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA does not make a recommendation. DPSOA states nothing
in the applicant’s record indicates he was denied reenlistment.
The applicant was eligible to reenlist at the time of separation
and is eligible to enlist based on his reentry code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant submitted additional letters of support outlining
his desire to reenlist although the system shows he voluntarily
separated.
The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
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. We took
note of the applicant’s contention that he was denied
reenlistment and discharged from the military over one mistake.
However, as the OPR indicates, there is nothing in the
applicant’s record which indicates denial of reenlistment.
Moreover, his RE code of “1J” at the time of his discharge
indicates that he is eligible to reenlist in the Armed Forces.
Therefore, we find no basis upon which to recommend granting the
relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
2
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.
