IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02577 

  

  COUNSEL: NONE 

 
  HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His Re-entry (RE) code of “2X” (1st Term, 2nd Term or Career 
AMN Not Selected under Selection Retention Process (SRP)) be 
changed to allow him to return to service and finish his term of 
service. 

 

2. He be reinstated in the rank/grade of Airman First Class 
(A1C), (E-3) and receive all back pay and allowances associated 
with that grade. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His discharge was an injustice. His commander wrongfully 
discharged him for a crime he did not commit. He was under 
investigation for sexual assault of another military member but 
all charges were dropped when the case ended. His commander 
placed him in a “double jeopardy” situation because he was 
charged for the same crime but with a lesser punishment. His 
commander gave him a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) and shortly 
thereafter added his name to the FY10 Phase II Date of 
Separation (DOS) Rollback Program and subsequently discharged 
him from active duty. 

 

Item 28 “Narrative Reason for Separation” on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Discharge or Release from Active Duty should read 
“Reduction in Force” but instead it reads “Completion of 
Required Active Service”. This is wrong since he did not 
complete his full term of service. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement dated 7 July 2011, his DD Form 214, AF IMT 100, Request and Authorization for Separation, DD Form 2648, Pre-
Separation Counseling Checklist for Active Component Service 
Members, AF IMT 1137, Unfavorable Information File Summary, AF 
IMT 1058 Unfavorable Information File Action, AF IMT 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, Letter of 
Reprimand dated 25 March 2010, 3AMXS/MXAGW Weapons Load Crew 
Chief Memorandum Subject: Referral of Enlisted Performance 


Report dated 11 May 2010, AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance 
Report (AB thru TSgt) dated 9 Sep 2008 thru 8 May 2010, and 
other associated related documents. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 
9 September 2008. He was discharged under the DOS Rollback 
Program on 30 June 2010 with an honorable characterization of 
service. He was credited with 1 year, 9 months, and 22 days of 
active duty service of which 1 year, 4 months and 13 days is 
listed as Foreign Service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application 
extracted from the applicant’s military personnel records are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate Air Force 
offices of primary responsibility (Exhibits C and D). 
Accordingly there is no need to recite these facts in this 
Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the DOS rollback 
program utilizes the Separation Program Designator (SPD) code 
JBK (less than 6 years of active service) or LBK (more than 6 
years of active service) with a corresponding narrative reason 
for separation of “Completion of Required Active Service” since 
the member is denied further continuation or reenlistment and as 
in the applicant’s case, the DOS/ETS may be involuntarily 
accelerated. The involuntary SPD codes of JBK or LBK 
(Completion of Required Service) as determined by the Air Force, 
also relieved members of recoupment obligation for unserved 
portions of bonuses since the member’s term of service was 
involuntarily accelerated. 

 

The applicant did not provide any evidence of an error or 
injustice to warrant the requested change to his discharge 
characterization. Based on the documentation on file in his 
master personnel records, the discharge to include the 
characterization of service was consistent with the procedural 
and substantive requirements of the discharge manual and was 
within the discretion of the discharge authority. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air Force states commanders 
have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection 


authority. The applicant does not provide any evidence of an 
error or injustice in reference to his RE code. 

 

The complete AFPC/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 10 November 2011 for review and comment within 
30 days. As of this date, this office has not received a 
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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt 
their 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. 

 

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 issue(s) 
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.
