RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02578
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 3A (First-term airman who separates
before completing 36 months (60 months for a 6-year enlistee) on
current enlistment and who has no known disqualifying factors or
ineligibility conditions except grade, skill level, and
insufficient Total Active Federal Military Service (TAFMS)) be
changed to a 1 series RE code that would allow him to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not have any disciplinary action throughout his career
while in the Air Force.
In support of his request, the applicant submits documents
extracted from his military personnel records.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 May 2006
for a period of six years.
On 18 August 2010, the applicant was honorably released and
transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He served 4 years 3 months
and 3 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant does
not state there is an error or injustice in reference to his RE
code 3A and recognizes the RE code is correct and waivable if
recruiting services deems it appropriate to waive. However, he
is asking for a 1 series RE code so he can attempt to rejoin the
military without a waiver, as he states 1 series codes are the
only RE codes being accepted. The applicants RE code 3A is
correct and required based on his six year enlistment and time in
service at the time of separation, per AFI 36-2606; as all six
year enlistees who separate prior to completing 60 months of
service receive a RE code of 3A (as long as a higher priority
negative RE code does not apply).
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 26 August 2011, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). 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 the
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence 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 an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
