AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00315
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 3A (First-term airman who separates
before completing 36 months (60 months for a 6-year enlistee) on
current enlistment and who has no known disqualifying factors or
ineligibility conditions except grade, skill level, and
insufficient Total Active Federal Military Service (TAFMS)) be
changed to 1J (Eligible to reenlist, but elects separation).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He completed the United States Air Force Academy Prepatory
School; however, he was unable to secure a position at the
United States Air Force Academy. This resulted in his
discharge.
He was advised once he completed his education he would be
allowed reentry through another commissioning program like
Officers Training School(OTS). Shortly after graduating with
his Bachelors Degree he was informed his RE Code needed to be
changed.
In support of his request, the applicant submits five letters of
recommendation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 12 Jul
06.
On 15 May 07, the applicant was furnished an Honorable
discharge, and was credited with 10 months, and 3 days of active
service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ USAFA/PLEA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence
of an error or an injustice. The RE code used in this case is
appropriate and is consistent with Air Force guidance. Each
accession source has documentation that can be used to waive the
3A code and allow entry.
A complete copy of the HQ USAFA/PLEA 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 15 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
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.
