RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05688
			COUNSEL:  NONE
    			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) code “4I” which denotes “Serving on Control 
Roster” be changed.  

________________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In 2005, he was removed from the Control Roster (CR) and was 
reassigned on a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) assignment. 

A change to his RE code would allow him to reenlist in the Air 
National Guard (ANG). 

The Board should consider it in the interest of justice to 
consider his request as a reenlistment eligible RE code would 
allow him to uphold the American way of life in the ANG.  

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’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.  

________________________________________________________________ 

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 17 Dec 02, the applicant entered active duty.

According to an AF Form 366, Record of Proceedings of Vacation 
of Suspended Nonjudicial Punishment, dated 20 Jun 05, the 
applicant received an Article 15 for failure to go to his 
appointed place of duty.

According to his AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program 
Consideration, dated 7 Mar 07, he was not selected for 
reenlistment due to serving on the CR.

On 18 Apr 07, he was honorably discharged from active duty with 
an RE code of “4I” and narrative reason for separation of 
“Completion of Required Active Service.”

He served 4 years, 4 months and 2 days on active duty.

_______________________________________________________________ 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:  

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  In Accordance With (IAW) AFI 36-
2907, Unfavorable Information File (UIF) Program, paragraph 
2.1., the CR is a rehabilitative tool for commanders to use.  
Commanders use the CR to set up a 6-month observation period for 
individuals whose duty performance is substandard or who fail to 
meet or maintain Air Force standards of conduct, bearing and 
integrity on or off duty.  DPSIM cannot speak to whether or not 
the commander’s actions were just or not and can only discuss if 
proper procedures were followed in the administration of the 
action.  The applicant did not provide any documentation to 
determine if proper procedures were followed.  There is no 
evidence a CR was given other than his RE code.   

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request for a 
reenlistment eligible RE code.  At this point, 7 years later, it 
is unclear what the applicant did to be on the CR as CR 
paperwork is not kept in the personnel record.  DPSOA agrees his 
2005 CR expired as CR actions are only for 6 months and he would 
not have been able to PCS while serving on a CR.  However, the 
applicant’s AF Form 418, which references him being on a CR was 
completed on 7 Mar 07 approximately 6 weeks before he was 
separated.  Based on his separation date of 18 Apr 07 his 
commander had to consider him for reenlistment and select or 
non-select him before he separated.  It appears he was placed on 
another CR around 4 to 6 months before his separation date and 
then non-selected for reenlistment.  RE Code “2X” which denotes 
“1st term, 2nd term or career airman considered but not selected 
for reenlistment,” is required based on his non-selection for 
reenlistment.  AFPC/DPSOY will provide the applicant with a 
corrected copy to his DD Form 214 with an RE code of “2X” unless 
otherwise directed by the Board.  

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

_______________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 25 Apr 14, copies of the Air Force evaluations were provided 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
E).  As of this date, this office has not received a response.

_________________________________________________________________


FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

After careful consideration of the evidence of record, we find 
the application untimely.  The applicant did not file his 
request for a change of his RE code 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, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records.  
The applicant has not shown a sufficient reason for the delay in 
filing on a matter now dating back over 7 years, which has 
greatly complicated the ability to determine the merits of the 
application.  Accordingly, aside from the administrative 
correction of his DD Form 214 to reflect RE code “2X” we cannot 
conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse 
applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner.

________________________________________________________________

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
