RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01466
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
A Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be added to her DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She has been trying to get her DD Form 214 corrected for years
but continues to get passed along from one organization to
another, without a satisfactory resolution.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Dec 00, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve,
for a six year obligation.
On 14 Feb 03, the applicant was ordered to active duty in
support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM.
On 27 Jul 03, the applicant was demobilized (released from
active duty) and reverted to her traditional (part-time) status
as a member of the Air Force Reserve. She was credited with
5 months and 14 days of active service and her service was
characterized as honorable. Block 27, Reentry Code, of her
DD Form 214 reflects NOT APPLICABLE.
On 12 Sep 03, the applicant was separated from the Air Force
Reserve with a Separation Program Designator (SPD) code of KDB
(dependency or hardship).
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. Per AFI 36-3202, Separation
Documents, a member does not receive an RE code unless they are
separated on the date of the DD Form 214. The applicant was
demobilized, not separated [from the Air Force Reserve], on
27 Jul 03 and returned to traditional Reserve status.
A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS 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 4 Aug 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. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record, we believe that given
the circumstances surrounding her post-mobilization release from
active duty, a notation of not applicable in the RE code field
was proper and in compliance with the appropriate instructions.
In addition, the applicant has not provided any evidence which
would lead us to believe that a change to her RE code is
warranted. Therefore, we agree with 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 injustice. 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 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.
