RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03119
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 3I (First Term Airman (FTA) selected
under Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP), no Career Job
Reservation (CJR) available and removed from the CJR waiting list)
be changed to a RE code in the 1 series or any other RE code that
would allow him to reenter military service.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was honorably discharged with no medical or disciplinary
restrictions and most CJRs were approved soon after his release
from the Air Force.
Furthermore, by allowing him to reenlist, he may be able to
retrain into another career field.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 7 Jul 09, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the Regular
Air Force.
On 6 Jul 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge,
with a separation code of MBK (completion of active service) and
RE code of 3I (FTA selected under SRP, no CJR available and
removed from the CJR waiting list). He was credited with four
years of active 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:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an
error or an injustice. The applicant did not receive a CJR and
was not eligible to reenlist and was released from active duty
after serving his initial four year enlistment.
When manning levels exceed the authorized limit in a specific Air
Force Specialty Code (AFSC), the Air Staff may limit the number of
CJRs authorized in that AFSC. Airmen who do not get a CJR because
of constraints, will receive an RE code 3I and must separate on
their date of separation (DOS), unless they apply and are approved
for retraining.
The applicant is requesting an RE code in the 1 series. According
to AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force,
Chapter 5, with the exception of 1J (eligible to reenlist, but
elected separation), airmen should not be separated with a 1
series RE code. The applicant was not eligible to reenlist and
did not elect to separate but had to separate without an option to
reenlist. Furthermore, 3 series RE codes issued by the Air Force
are waiverable and can be waived by other components for reentry
into military. The applicant further contends that most CJRs were
approved shortly after his release from active duty. In Feb 14,
all CJR constraints were removed; however, service members with a
RE code 3I were still required to separate.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA 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 17 Nov 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 timely filed.
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
(OPR) 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.
