2. The applicant requests that his reentry (RE) code of 40 be corrected.
3. The applicant states that when he tried to enlist in the USAR, his recruiter told him that there is no such RE code as 40.
4. The applicants military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 18 February 1986 for 3 years in pay grade E-3. He was awarded the military occupational specialty of guitar player and was promoted to pay grade E-5.
5. He served without incident through reenlistments and extensions and was honorably discharged from active duty on 7 October 1994 in pay grade E-5 at the expiration of his term of service. His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, shows that he had completed 8 years, 7 months and 20 days of active service, was assigned an RE code of 40, and was given a separation code of KBK.
6. The applicant served in Korea, Germany and Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm, exceeded course standards for the Primary Leadership Development Course, received above average noncommissioned officer evaluation reports (NCOERs), and was awarded two Army Achievement Medals, three Army Commendation Medals, and two Good Conduct Medals.
7. Army Regulation 601-210, table 3-6, lists the various RE codes and describes the reason(s) a soldier is assigned a particular code. The code of RE-1 is assigned to individuals who complete an initial term of active service and who were fully qualified to reenlist when last separated. There is no RE code 40 listed in this regulation.
8. The separation code KBK is listed in Army Regulation 635-5-1 as denoting a Regular Army soldier who is fully eligible to reenlist who is discharged at the completion of his or her enlistment.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicants records show he honorably completed his enlistment, as extended, was promoted to pay grade E-5, exceeded course standards on the one service school he attended for which he was given an academic evaluation report, received above average NCOERs, and received numerous awards and decorations during his enlistments. He had no disciplinary record and there is no record of any adverse administrative action, such as a letter of reprimand or a bar to reenlistment being taken against him. All in all, his record indicates unblemished service and outstanding duty performance.
2. The applicants records do not contain any apparent reason why he would have been assigned anything other than an RE-1 code.
3. In view of the foregoing, it is apparent that the applicant was assigned an RE code of 40 in error.
4. In view of the preceding, it would be in the interest of justice to correct his records as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the individual concerned was assigned an RE code of RE-1 upon his discharge from active duty on 7 October 1994.

The applicant states that he was erroneously assigned an RE-3 because his Enlisted Record Brief (ERB) showed a code of 9H (pending a medical board). Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations - Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. As such, it would be appropriate to now correct his records to show that he was assigned an SPD code of "KBK" and assigned an...

His Enlisted Record Brief (ERB), dated 3 June 2009, does not show him flagged at the time. It states that the SPD code KBK is the appropriate code to assign to Soldiers voluntarily separated under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, by reason of completion of required active service. The applicant contends his DD Form 214 should be changed to show an SPD of KBK and an RE-1 based on his argument that he had completed his NJP and he was no longer flagged at the time of his discharge.

APPLICANT REQUESTS: Correction of appropriate military records to show a reentry eligibility (RE) code which would allow reenlistment. The appropriate selection boards evaluate past performances and estimate the potential of each soldier to determine if continued service is warranted. Soldiers whose continued service is not warranted receive a QMP bar to reenlistment.

IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 30 April 2009 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090000143 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant requests, in effect, that the record of his special court-martial conviction be relocated to the restricted portion of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). He was promoted to sergeant, pay grade E-5, on 1 September 1997 and to staff sergeant, pay grade E-6, on 1 March 2002.

A code of "1" applies to Soldiers completing their term of active service who are considered qualified to reenter the U.S. Army. The SPD code of "KBK" is the correct code for RA Soldiers voluntarily discharged after completion of required active service under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 4. Rule 1 on the table states "Enter RE Code 3 (disregarding RE code 1 on the table) when Soldier's record indicates (for current enlistment period) that the Soldier: (a) Is...

The applicant again applied to the Board requesting that he be granted promotion reconsideration to the pay grade of E-8 for 1994. However, in light of the new evidence which shows that the NCOER was not in his records at the time in question and since he was ineligible for promotion, there is no basis to grant him reconsideration for those boards that failed to select him. Accordingly, the Board finds that there is no basis to grant him further relief than he has already received, based...

The applicant requests that her noncommissioned officer evaluation report (NCOER) for the period May 1991 through September 1991 be removed from her records, that she receive the promotions that were denied her due to the unjust rating, and, in effect, that she be granted a 30-year retirement. The Board has considered the applicant's further requests that she receive the promotions that were denied her due to the unjust rating, and, in effect, that she be granted a 30-year retirement. The...

It shows his SPD as JBK (involuntary discharge upon completion of required active service, to be used for Regular Army soldiers (except those with a declination of continued service statement) ineligible for, barred from, or otherwise denied reenlistment who are discharged upon completion of enlistment). It shows his RE code as 3. The Board notes that it does not appear there is anything in the applicant's available records to show why he may have been ineligible for reenlistment.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100013341
The regulation states the reason for discharge based on SPD code "KBK" is "completion of required active service" and the regulatory authority is Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 4. This table states that RE code 3 will be assigned when a Soldier's record indicates (for current enlistment period) that he/she is ineligible for or otherwise denied immediate reenlistment; has a declination of continued service statement; has (not met) grade and service criteria in Army Regulation 601-210,...

Army Regulation 140-111 establishes the policies and provisions for imposing bars to reenlistment for members of the AGR program under the QMP. Since all three of those reports, however, show that she met the height and weight standards of the regulation, the absence of the required remark is considered an oversight and does not reflect the true nature of her physical fitness. Her NCOERs for the periods in question show that she had a profile and consequently could not take the APFT.
