RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02557
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 3K (Secretarial Authority) be changed
to 1J (Eligible to reenlist, but elects separation).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE code was changed from 4H (Serving suspended punishment
pursuant to Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ))
to 3K and now feels it should be changed to allow him to
reenter the military. He served over 9 years on active duty and
would like to continue as a career airman. He believes that if
his punishment was over the day he separated then he should not
have a code that prevents him from reenlisting. He meets all
requirements for reenlisting and would like his code to be
changed to allow him to reenlist. He spoke with the local
recruiters who tell him that it will be impossible for him to
reenlist with the 3K RE code.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
letters from AFPC, a copy of his DD Form 215, Correction to
DD Form 214 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
and a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 30 May 01 and
was progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5),
having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of
1 Sep 08.
DD Form 215 reflects his RE code was changed from 4H to 3K on
11 Apr 11.
Additional relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the
Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts
in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant was
discharged with an honorable character of service. He was not
eligible for reenlistment, as he was not determined to be
reenlistment eligible or ineligible by his commander as required
prior to his separation. A Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)
was not accomplished as required by the governing regulations due
to him still having a 4H RE code at the time of his discharge.
Although the applicant asserts the recruiter stated it was
impossible for him to reenter the military with the 3K RE
code, each branch of service decides what RE codes they will or
will not accept or waive. The 3K RE code is a waiverable RE
code if any component chooses to waive it. The applicant has not
provided any evidence of an error or injustice that warrants
changing his RE code.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 16 Sep 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 Air Force office of primary responsibility 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 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.

On 29 Jan 10, the applicant was notified by his commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. Although both AFPC/DPSOA and DPSOS recommend denial of relief DPSOA does note the applicants RE code is in error, and should be 2C; however, based on the review and recommendation provided by AETC/SGPS we believe his RE code should be changed to 3K, which would afford him the opportunity to apply for enlistment in the armed services.
