RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00592
		
		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  YES



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code 6H (Pending Discharge - 
Involuntary) be corrected. 


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Through no fault of his own, he was discharged due to being 
unable to report for initial active duty training (IADT) within 
365 days of enlistment.  He was injured while in the National 
Guard delayed entry program and was unable to recover within 365 
days of his enlistment.  His record should reflect an RE code of 
6G, instead of 6H.    

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant's military personnel records, he 
initially entered the Air National Guard on 4 Aug 11.

On 30 Sep 12, the applicant was furnished an entry level 
separation with uncharacterized service.  The reason for this 
action was because he tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) 
and was unable to report to basic military training within the 
365 days of his enlistment date.  

On 5 Dec 13, the applicant was certified medically cleared for 
enlistment and submitted a waiver to the National Guard Bureau 
(NGB) dated 9 Dec 13, requesting change of his RE code.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force which is at Exhibit C.   




AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1P recommends approval, indicating a change from RE code 6H 
(Pending Discharge - Involuntary) to 6G (Pending Discharge - 
Voluntary) is warranted.  In accordance with ANGI 36-3209, 
Separation and Retirement Procedures for Members of the Air 
National Guard and Air Force Reserve, paragraph 3.16.3, if the 
member fails to report for scheduled IADT within 365 days of 
enlistment, due to no fault of their own, it will be reflected 
as a voluntary separation and not involuntary. 

A complete copy of the NGB/A1PP 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 28 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  In response, the applicant provides a statement in 
support of the recommendation (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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an injustice.  After a thorough 
review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete 
submission, we believe the applicant is the victim of an error 
or injustice.  We agree with the opinion and recommendation of 
NGB/A1P that relief should be granted and adopt its rationale as 
the basis for our conclusion that corrective action is 
warranted.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be 
corrected as indicated below.  

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the 
time of his discharge on 30 Sep 12, he was issued a reentry code 
of “6G” rather than “6H.”

The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00592 in Executive Session on 21 Nov 14 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:

	Panel Chair
	Member
	Member

All members voted to correct the records as recommended.  The 
following documentary evidence was considered:

	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, NGB/A1P, dated 11 Mar 14.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, AFBCMR, dated 28 Jul 14.
	Exhibit E.  Applicant’s Rebuttal, dated 4 Aug 14.
