RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-02984
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

	 

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reentry (RE) code of “3A” (First-term airman who separates 
before completing 36 months on current enlistment and who has no 
known disqualifying factors or ineligibility conditions except 
grade, skill level, and insufficient Total Active Federal 
Military Service) be changed to one that will allow her to 
reenter the military.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She did not have the option to retrain into another career 
field; however, she is willing to do any job in the Air Force.

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her 
AF IMT 100, Request and Authorization for Separation, and a copy 
of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty.

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. 

________________________________________________________________
_

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 14 Aug 12.  
The applicant received an honorable discharge on 12 Apr 13 after 
serving 7 months and 29 days on active duty.  She received a 
“3A” RE code and a narrative reason of “UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE”.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________
_

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  The governing instructions for RE 
codes state that under the 3# series “An applicant is ineligible 
for immediate reenlistment (within 24 hours after separation), 
but eligible for prior service enlistment with an approved 
waiver (provided the airman is otherwise qualified) under any of 
the following conditions.”  The “3A” RE code does not prevent 
the applicant from reentering the military.  
The complete 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 30 Aug 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  
As of this date, this office has received no 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 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 and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  However, the 
Board would like to point out that as indicated by AFPC/DPSOA, 
the “3A” RE code is waiverable.  Therefore, the applicant can 
apply to reenter the military; however, her acceptance is not 
guaranteed and will depend on her qualifying for reentry and the 
needs of the Air Force.  Therefore, 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 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.
