HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 4E (Grade is Airman First Class or
below and airman completed 31 or more months (55 months for a 6-
year enlistees), if a first-term airman; or, grade is airman
first class or below and the airman is a second-term or career
airman) be changed to allow him to obtain employment with the
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was young and immature while in the Air Force and as a
result, was discharged due to alcohol related incidents. He has
since matured and has been alcohol and alcohol incident related
free since his discharge. He learned from his mistakes and is
now trying to serve his country with a DVA Information
Technology (IT) position.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active
Duty.
The applicant provides no rationale as to why his failure to
timely file should be waived in the interest of justice.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 Jun 83, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 15 Mar 89, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge
with a narrative reason for separation of Early Separation
Program - Strength Reduction, and a RE code of 4E. He was
credited with 5 years, 9 months, and 15 days of total active
service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating the applicant has not
provided any proof of an error or injustice. His RE code of 4E
is correct in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the
USAF. The applicant was non-selected for reenlistment based on
his own actions. He was demoted to the grade of airman first
class (A1C, E-3) and his RE code was updated to 4E. The
applicant was serving in the grade of A1C at the time of his
discharge with 31 months or more Time in Service (TIS). As a
result, he was not eligible to reenlist and had to separate due
to his grade of A1C and TIS.
A complete copy of the 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 14 Feb 14 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the
evidence of record, we find the application untimely. The
applicant did not file within three years after the alleged
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10,
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-
2603. The applicant has not shown a sufficient reason for the
delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises
issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the
merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of
justice to excuse the untimely filing of this application.
________________________________________________________________
DECISION OF THE BOARD:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as
untimely.

The Article 15 punishment included a demotion to the grade of airman first class (E-3) with a date of rank of 11 October 2007. His correct RE code is 4E in accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-2601, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force. Every other member of the Air Force that does not meet the appropriate grade for their time in service separates with a 4E or 4D RE code depending on their rank.
AF | BCMR | CY2010 | BC-2010-00558
DPSOA states that Control Roster actions are not filed in the service members personnel records, or the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS). The evidence of record indicates the applicant was discharged after completing four years of service with an RE code of 4I. We have been advised the RE code of 4I is erroneous and his records will be corrected administratively by the Air Force office of primary responsibility to reflect the appropriate RE code of 4E.
AF | BCMR | CY2005 | bc-2005-00158
However, on 16 May 05, HQ AFPC/DPPAE advised the applicant that his 2H RE code was erroneous and had been administratively changed to 4E (grade is airman, airman basic, or A1C and the member has completed more than 31 months of service) - See Exhibit C. [Note: The 4E RE code is a waiverable code; i.e., if a member has an in-demand skill and is otherwise eligible, the Reserves may waive the immediate reenlistment impediment and accept him.] ...
