IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02916
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 4E (Grade is airman first class or
below and airman completed 31 or more months (55 months for a 6-
year enlistees), if a first-term airman; or, grade is airman
first class or below and the airman is a second-term or career
airman) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes his reentry code is unjust. He completed his service
honorably and has learned from his mistakes.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was honorably discharged on 25 March 2001 after
serving 4 years of active service.
In June 2000, the applicant received an Article 15 for failing to
report for duty on time after numerous verbal counseling sessions
and a letter of reprimand. His punishment consisted of a
suspended reduction to the grade of airman first class, a
forfeiture of $200.00 pay, and 30 days extra duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant
received an Article 15 in June 2000 for failing to report for
duty numerous times. He received a suspended demotion to airman
first class through 29 December 2000. Although not in the
applicants record, he had his suspended demotion vacated and was
demoted to airman first class on 31 July 2000.
The applicant received an RE code of 4E due to him being a first-
term airman who reached 31-months of Time-in-Service (TIS) and
was in the grade of airman first class or below on a 4 year
enlistment. At the time of his date of separation, he was not
eligible to reenlist and had to separate due to his grade of
airman first class and TIS.
The applicant was demoted based on his own actions. His correct
RE code is 4E in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the
USAF.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 September 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air
Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a
change to his RE code is warranted. Therefore, we agree with 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. 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.
