RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02205 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Reentry Code (RE) of 2X (1st term, 2nd term or career airman 
considered but not selected for reenlistment) be changed to 3V 
(Separated w/Vol Sep Incentive) so he can enlist in the Utah Air 
National Guard. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He accepted an early separation date of 1 Oct 06 when his 
original separation date was 23 Apr 07. While he was 
outprocessing the clerk was new and made a mistake by changing 
his Separation Code from KND (Failed to Obtain Retainability) to 
LBK (Involuntarily Discharged at End of Active Duty Obligated 
Service). His RE Code should be 3V because he received “Half 
Separation Pay” as a result of his early separation and was 
transferred into the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) for a term of 
3 years. He would not have been accepted into the IRR if his RE 
Code of 2X was correct. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, and paperwork related to his IRR status. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_______________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant entered active duty on 23 Apr 97. 

 

On 20 Apr 06, the applicant’s supervisor chose not to recommend 
the applicant for reenlistment, noting he had a referral 
Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) on file for 2005 and had not 
shown any improvement, he had numerous Letters of Counseling 
(LOCs)/Letters of Reprimand (LORs) during the past year, and had 
made it extremely clear he had no intention of reenlisting. The 


applicant’s commander did not select him for reenlistment, 
making him ineligible for reenlistment. 

 

On 1 Oct 06, the applicant was released from active duty with an 
Honorable service characterization, and was credited with nine 
years, five months, and nine days of 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 Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice which would warrant correcting the record 
to allow the applicant to reenlist. AFI 36-2606 states 
commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-
selection authority. The Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) 
considers the member’s EPR ratings, unfavorable information from 
any substantiated source, the Airman’s willingness to comply 
with Air Force standards and/or the Airman’s ability (or lack 
of) to meet required training and duty performance levels. The 
applicant’s supervisor recommended he not be eligible for 
reenlistment, and the applicants’ commander denied him 
reenlistment eligibility based on the applicant’s pattern of 
non-compliance, referral report with no improvement, and 
numerous LOCs/LORs. The applicant appealed and his appeal was 
denied on 29 Aug 06. His non-selection required he receive an 
RE Code of 2X per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the US Air Force, 
Chapter 3. The applicant did not receive a separation bonus or 
separate under the Voluntary Separation Incentive (VSI) program 
as he is suggesting. At the time of the applicant’s separation 
there was no VSI program to apply for, and separating under VSI 
is the only way to get an RE Code of 3V. He received $13,571.87 
in separation pay based on being forced out of the Air Force and 
having over 6 years of service. He did not have a choice to 
reenlist or stay in the Air Force. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 6 Aug 12 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 untimely 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 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. 
The applicants’ commander denied him reenlistment eligibility. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
