RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01614
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 6U (Not selected for
reentry by the commander) on his National Guard Bureau Form 22,
Report of Separation and Record of Service, be upgraded so he
may reenter the military.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was sent home from technical training to be reclassified
because no other jobs were available at the time. He was
instructed to wait a month and then see what was available and
proceed. Once the month passed, he was advised that he neednt
attend Unit Training Assemblies (UTA). In October 2009, he
received discharge papers in the mail stating he was being
discharged for unsatisfactory participation and was being
given a reenlistment code of 6U for not attending drill. He did
not receive certified documents in the mail from his unit
regarding the unsatisfactory participation. He was also not
aware what the 6U RE code meant, nor was it explained.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Air National Guard on
31 Jan 08.
A complete copy of the applicants discharge package was not
available; however, the legal review and the discharge order
documents were available.
On 20 Aug 09, according to the legal review conducted on the
applicants discharge action, the recommendation for the
applicants entry-level separation for failure to satisfactorily
progress in the required career field subject matter was found
to be legally sufficient and the discharge authority concurred
with the commanders recommendation.
On 5 Oct 09, the applicant was furnished an entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service and was credited with
one year, eight months, and five days of Reserve service.
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:
NGB/A1PP recommends denial indicating the applicant was
appropriately discharged. The applicant was separated after he
completed basic training but before he completed technical
training school (TTS). Members must complete both basic
training and TTS within 365 days from enlistment or must be
separated in accordance with ANGI-36-2002, Enlistment and
Reenlistment in the Air National Guard and as A Reserve of the
Air Force. The applicant did not meet the requirements for his
original projected Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC). He was
reclassified into another AFSC, which he later failed to
progress in and was returned to state and ultimately separated.
However, after contacting the applicants unit, it was
determined an RE Code of 6N (formal school eliminee) would be
more appropriate, reflecting him as a formal school eliminee,
and the board should therefore direct this change in RE Code.
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 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 with respect
to the applicants request that he be issued a reentry (RE) code
that would allow him to be eligible for immediate reenlistment.
We took notice of the applicant's 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 or injustice
with respect to his entry-level separation with uncharacterized
service.
4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error with
respect to the RE code issued in conjunction with his entry-
level separation. In this respect, we note the comments of the
Air Force OPR indicating that the applicant should have been
issued an RE code of 6N (formal school eliminee), instead of 6U
(Not selected for reentry by the commander), as the former is
more appropriate to the applicants circumstances. Therefore,
we recommend the applicants 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 the APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 5
October 2009, he was issued a reentry (RE) code of 6N (formal
school eliminee) in conjunction with his entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service.
