AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02358
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) Code of 4B (Exceeding Body Fat Standards) be
changed so he can reenlist in the Air Force.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His record is not in error or unjust. He is now a teacher and
role model for young kids, and he would like to lead by example
and fulfill his responsibilities to the Air Force. He let his
personal problems jeopardize his military career, but having
been an outstanding airman while enlisted, he believes he would
be a great asset.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Forms 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 11 Mar 98.
On 10 Jul 01, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending him for discharge for failure of the Weight and
Body Fat Management Program. The applicant had six failures in
the program, received a Letter of Counseling (LOCs) and two
Letters of Reprimand (LORs), one with an Unfavorable Information
File (UIF). The applicant consulted with legal counsel, and
submitted a statement on his own behalf. On 26 July 01, the
case was found to be legally sufficient, and 3 Aug 01, the
discharge authority concurred with the commanders
recommendation and directed the applicant be discharged. On 17
Aug 01, the applicant was honorably discharged for weight
control failure and was credited with three years, five months,
and seven days of total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR) which is attached at Exhibits C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
error or injustice. The applicant received an involuntary
discharge on 17 Aug 01 for Weight Control Failure, and received
an RE Code of 4B for exceeding body fat standards. The
applicant does not try to prove there is an error or injustice.
The applicants RE code of 4B is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the U.S. Air Force, Table 3.4, based upon being
separated for Weight Control Failure.
A complete copy of the AFPC/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 22 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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 an 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 Air Force office of primary responsibility
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that 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
applicant was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with the
application.
