                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04754
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) code of 4I (Serving on the Control Roster) be 
changed to allow him to be able to reenter military service.

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

At the time of his discharge his commander advised him to return 
home and reenlist in the Air National Guard (ANG); however, he 
was not able to join the ANG because of his RE code.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement; copies of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, issued in conjunction with his 
21 Jun 85 discharge, and various other documents associated with 
his request.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 22 Oct 81, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Staff Sergeant (E-5/SSgt).  

According to a letter from the applicant dated 29 Apr 85 to the 
personnel office, he requested separation based on miscellaneous 
reasons.

On 21 Jun 85, the applicant was discharged under the provisions 
of AFR 39-10, with completion of required active service, and 
issued an RE code of 4I.  He was credited with 3 years and 
8 months active duty service during this period.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial as the applicant did not provide 
proof of an error or injustice.  
The applicant contends the Air Force chose not to continue his 
military service.  However, the applicant applied and was 
approved for separation under Voluntary Miscellaneous Reasons.  
The applicant was not eligible to reenlist at the time of 
separation, but his records reflect he chose to separate early 
on 21 Jun 85 when his original Date of Separation (DOS) was 
21 Oct 85.  Control roster actions are not filed in an 
applicant’s master personnel record and as such there is no data 
in his records to confirm the validity of the 4I RE code.  
However, per the applicant's request, he was not eligible for 
reenlistment at the time of discharge which would support the RE 
code 4I.

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant notes that the statement in the advisory opinion 
under the discussion section, indicating that he chose and 
applied for separation is untrue.

He was going through a divorce and bankruptcy when his commander 
advised him that he was not going to reenlist him.

The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.

________________________________________________________________

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.  The 
applicant’s contentions are noted; however, we are not persuaded 
that he has been the victim of an error or injustice.  While the 
control roster action data is not available, based upon the 
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs 
and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the RE 
code issued was in accordance with the governing instruction.  
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the 
rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion 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 material 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.
