RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00845
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 3A which denotes 1st term airman who
separates before completing 36 months (60 months for 6-year
enlistee) on current enlistment and who has no known
disqualifying factors or ineligibility conditions except grade,
skill level, and insufficient TAFMS be changed to 1M which
denotes Eligible to reenlist or any other RE code to allow
reenlistment in the Armed Forces.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The RE code 3A given to him upon his honorable discharge is
unjust given his military record and outstanding performance
while on active duty.
He understands he separated during his first term but he did not
separate before completing 36 months of service per RE Code
3A.
He should have an RE code that allows reenlistment in the Air
Force without restriction given his impeccable military service
and achievements attained in such a short amount of time.
The applicant provides no rationale as to why the Board should
consider his untimely application.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 10 Apr 07, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
According to a Personnel Processing Application (PPA) Voluntary
Separation printout dated 7 Dec 10, the applicant requested a
voluntary separation for miscellaneous reasons effective 5 Jan
11. The reason he provided for the separation request was that
he was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD) and was unable to run without having to stop and use his
inhaler; he could not perform the duties required for his
current Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) of security forces.
On 5 Jan 11, he was honorably released from active duty with RE
code 3A and a narrative reason for separation of
Miscellaneous-General Reasons. He was credited with 3 years,
8 months and 26 days of active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating that RE Code 3A is the
correct RE code. The applicant contends that the RE code 3A
is for members who separate before completing 36 months service.
This is true for 4 year enlistees. However, the 3A RE code
also applies for members who did not complete 60 months of a
6 year enlistment. Based on the applicant being on a 6 year
enlistment and separating before completing 60 months of his
enlistment, RE code 3A is correct per AFI 36-2606,
Reenlistment in the USAF.
A complete copy of the DPSOR 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 8 May 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
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.
