HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His narrative reason for separation (Miscellaneous/General
Reasons) be changed to High Year Tenure (HYT).
2. His reentry (RE) code of 4I (Serving on Control Roster) be
changed to a code that would allow him to reenlist.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He separated on his HYT date. AFPC has verified that this was a
mistake. This mistake has caused him major hardship.
In support of the applicants appeal he provides a personal
statement and a letter from SAF/MRB.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 December
2002.
AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) Consideration
for Airmen in the Regular Air Force/Air Force Reserve, dated
14 November 2012, reflects the applicants supervisor non-
recommended him for reenlistment. The commander stated the
applicant was placed on an Unfavorable Information File (UIF)
and not recommended for reenlistment.
The applicant requested early separation from the Air Force with
an effective date of 17 December 2012. The applicant stated he
would like to seek employment in the civilian sector which he
felt would allow him to meet his financial obligations and to
better provide care for his children.
On 17 December 2012, the applicant was honorably discharged in
the grade of senior airman under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
Miscellaneous/General Reasons. He served 10 years and 1 day on
active duty.

_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states the applicant
requested voluntary separation for miscellaneous reasons with a
requested effective date of 17 December 2012. In the
applicants request for separation he stated he had been
extended past his actual HYT date due to a requirement to allow
him a chance to test for promotion under updates to the HYT
rules. The applicant stated he felt in order to meet his
financial and family obligations he would waive his right to
WAPS testing for promotion and requested to leave earlier than
the modified HYT date. His justification for applying for early
termination from service was that he had a job opportunity.
On 14 November 2012, the applicants commander signed an AF Form
418, not recommending the applicant for reenlistment.
The discharge to include his narrative reason for separation was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge instruction.
The DPSOR complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants HYT
was December 2013 when separated. He received an erroneous RE
code on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty, of 4I. The RE code 4I should have been
changed to 4D (Grade is SrA/E-4, completed at least 7 years
TAFMS, but fewer than 16 years TAFMS and has not been selected
for promotion to SSgt/E-5; or grade is SSgt/E-5, completed at
least 14 years TAFMS, but fewer than 16 years TAFMS and has not
been selected for promotion to TSgt/E-6) when he was projected
for separation.
RE code 4D is required based on his grade and time in service.
AFPC/DPSOY will provide the applicant a corrected copy of his DD
Form 214 with an RE code of 4D, unless otherwise directed by the
board.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 13 December 2013, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within
30 days (Exhibit E). 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 timely filed.
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, we believe that given
the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force,
the narrative reason for separation assigned was proper and in
compliance with the appropriate instructions. Regarding the
applicants RE code - while he was in fact issued an erroneous
RE code of "4I," AFPC/DPSOA, has indicated they will
administratively correct the applicants record to reflect a
code of "4D" unless otherwise directed by this board. Although
the "4D" RE code does not provide the applicant with the relief
he is seeking, we agree with this correction. Therefore, relief
beyond that already administratively granted is not warranted.
In addition, the applicant has not provided any evidence which
would lead us to believe that a change in his record to allow
him to reenlist is warranted. Therefore, in view of the above,
we find no basis to correct the record as requested by the
applicant.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
_
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.
