1P or 1Q (all: Eligible to Reenlist) to allow him to reenter

_________________________________________________________________

squadron.
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:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
entered active duty on 14 March 2006. He was trained in the
Aircraft Loadmaster career field and was progressively promoted
to the grade of senior airman (E-4) effective 14 July 2008.
The applicants Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) for the period
14 November 2007 through 13 November 2008 indicates in Block 2 of
the performance assessment that the applicant did not meet
standards, conduct, character & military bearing. The rater
annotated the applicant Lacked proper judgment; recd 3 LORs
for missing mandatory appointments/failure to show for assigned
duties.
On 1 April 2009, the applicant was notified of his commanders
intent to recommend he be discharged for insufficient
retainability for required training under the authority of Air
Force Personnel Directive (AFPD) 36-32 and Air Force Instruction
36-3208, paragraph 5.10. The commander indicated that the reason
for his action was that on or about 31 March 2008, the applicant
failed to maintain medical certification, as indicated by
Aeronautical Order Aviation Service, dated 1 April 2008. In
addition, on or about 30 October 2008, the applicant was notified
that the Air Force Retraining OPR determined there are no
retraining quotas available for disqualified Airmen in an AFPC
AFCC Disqual BPO Message, dated 3 October 2008. After consulting
counsel, the applicant waived his right to submit statements in
his own behalf.
On 21 April 2009, a legal review found the case to be legally
sufficient; the discharge authority approved the recommended
discharge and directed the applicant be discharged with an
honorable characterization of service without probation or
rehabilitation.
On 29 April 2009, the applicant was discharged with an honorable
character of service with a narrative reason for separation of
Insufficient Retainability (Economic Reason), and an RE code of
2C. He served 3 years, 1 month, and 16 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
code of 2C is required per Air Force Instruction 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, Chapter 5, based on his involuntary
discharge with an honorable characterization of service. The
applicant has not proven there was an error or injustice in
reference to his RE code. The RE code is not affected by his
narrative reason for separation, which is what the applicant
points to in support of his appeal.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 29 July 2011, 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 an error or an 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 Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its 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.
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:
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.
