RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00798
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 4A, which denotes Separated for Hardship
or Dependency Reason be changed to a code that will allow him
to serve on active duty or in the reserves.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The hardships that existed in 2005 are no longer valid. His
inability to obtain a Career Job Reservation (CJR) for
reenlistment no longer applies. No financial hardship exists
that would prevent him from serving in any branch of the Armed
Forces.
The applicant did not provide any documentation in support of
his request.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 6 Jun 02, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
He served three years, six months and two days of active
service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states that RE code 4A was
written for members who separate under hardship or dependency
provisions.
DPSOA notes that an individuals health may change or previous
circumstances may cease to exist completely. However, a review
of the hardship circumstances by Recruiting Service to make an
educated decision on reentry through a waiver process would be
more appropriate than circumventing the reason for the RE code.
Each service determines what conditions they will and will not
waive.
DPSOA states that there is no evidence of an error or injustice,
as RE code 4A is appropriate and required in accordance with AFI
36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force.
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 22 Mar 13, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
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. After
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicants contentions, we are not persuaded that he has been
the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, 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 in justice. In view of the above and 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.
