RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00614
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 6N (Formal School
Eliminee being separated) be changed to a 1 so that he may
reenlist.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was removed from training for not having the adequate amount
of uniforms but believes he deserves another chance.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the applicants NGB Form 22, Report of Separation
and Record of Service, on 17 Apr 08, he enlisted in the
Pennsylvania Air National Guard (ANG).
In a letter dated 9 Jul 10, the applicant was notified by his
commander of his intent to recommend his discharge from the ANG
and the Reserves for substandard (unsatisfactory) performance.
The specific reason for the action was his inability to graduate
from an Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) Technical School by
being disqualified from two different Air Force Technical
Schools.
According to a letter dated 11 Jul 10, the discharge action was
reviewed and determined to be legally sufficient.
According to the applicants NGB Form 22, on 12 Aug 10, he
received an honorable discharge with an RE code of 6N and was
credited with 2 years, 3 months, and 26 days of total service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PP recommends denial. The applicants RE code of 6N
properly indicates he is ineligible to reenlist as he did not
complete training requirements. The applicant was not prepared
to attend technical training school as he did not bring the
required uniforms with him to training. Therefore, he was
returned to his unit and subsequently discharged.
In accordance with Air National Guard Instruction (ANGI) 36-
2002, Enlistment and Reenlistment in the Air National Guard and
as a Reserve of the Air Force, Table 4.4, Rule 13, members
eliminated from formal school will be given an RE code of 6N and
are not eligible to reenlist or extend.
The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
NGB/A1P recommends denial, indicating they concur with the NGB
Subject Matter Experts advisory based on the governing
directives and supporting documentation provided by the unit of
assignment.
The complete A1P evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 8 May 14 for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit E).
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 to warrant
changing his RE code to a 1. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission; however, we do not find the
evidence presented sufficient to warrant changing the
applicants RE code to allow for reenlistment without a waiver.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to demonstrate the existence of an injustice
warranting partial relief. Even though the applicant has
provided no evidence to show that his separation was improper or
not in compliance with the appropriate regulations, it is our
opinion that relief is warranted in this case. Giving the
circumstances surrounding the reason for his separation coupled
with his honorable service characterization, we believe that a
good probability exists that he may be able to provide effective
and meaningful service to our nation as a member of the armed
forces. Accordingly, we believe that correction of his RE code
to a waiverable code is warranted based on the merits of this
case. Whether or not he is successful in his attempts to return
to the military will depend on the needs of the service and our
recommendation in no way guarantees that he will be allowed to
return to any branch of service. Therefore, we recommend his
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 28 Sep
10, he was discharged with a RE code of 3K (Secretarial
Authority).
