IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02923
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________

Grade Grade is A1C or Below, on his DD Form 214, Certificate

________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
1. While deployed with the Air Force (AF) Security Forces in
Afghanistan, he was reprimanded and demoted from the grade of E4
to E3 for falling asleep on night duty.
2. Due to the demotion and his being a four-year enlistee he
fell under the AF 2010 Force Shaping Initiative and was
administratively separated with an honorable discharge.
3. He has enlisted in the Army National Guard (ARNG) and has
been selected for flight school. The ARNG will not waive the 4E
code but will waive a 3B code and allow him to attend flight
school.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
personal statement, alternate flight aptitude selection test,
Recommendation for Appointment to Warrant Officer Candidate
Training/Flight Training letter, and letters of
support/recommendation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to documents extracted from the Automated Records
Management System (ARMS) the applicant enlisted in the Regular
Air Force on 3 October 2006. He was discharged under the DOS
Rollback Program on 30 June 2010 with an honorable
characterization of service. He was credited with 3 years, 8
months, and 28 days of active duty service.
______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change or upgrade his RE code from 4E to 3B.
1. The applicant received an Article 15 in Sep 2009
for sleeping on post while being posted as a sentinel and was
demoted to the rank of AIC (E-3) with a 9 Sep 2009 Date of Rank
(DOR). The applicant's RE code was updated to 4E. At the
time of his Date of Separation (DOS), he was not eligible to
reenlist and had to separate due to his grade of AI C and time
in service.
2. The applicant was demoted based on his own actions. His
correct RE code is 4E in accordance with chapter 3, of AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistment in the USAF. The Army Nation Guard waived
the applicant's RE code 4E for reentry. It would be more
appropriate for the 4E to be waived again and his current
military time considered than to change the correct RE code.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 22 August 2012 for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). To 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 an error or an injustice that would
warrant a change to his RE code. We agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility that the RE code which was assigned at the time
of his separation accurately reflects the circumstances of his
separation; evidence has not been provided that would lead us to
believe otherwise. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling 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.
