AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change or upgrade his 4E RE code. DPSOA states The applicants
RE code is correct in accordance with effective guidance at the
time of his separation, which is the also the same guidance used
to date. The applicant wants to rejoin the military, but has
not identified an error or an injustice in reference to his 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 19 May 2013 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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 an injustice that would
warrant relief. We took notice of the applicants 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 that the RE code which was assigned at
the time of his separation accurately reflects the circumstances
of his separation. 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.
