APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his Reentry (RE) code of 4 should be changed to a more favorable code.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that his RE code of “4” was unjustified and should be changed to a more favorable code in order to enlist in the Army National Guard. In support of his application he submits a copy of his DD
Form 214 and several awards and citations.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show he enlisted
on 29 June 1973 as an interrogator. He continued to serve until he was
released from active duty on 28 June 1977 and was transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement). He reenlisted on 2 June 1981 as a voice interceptor and continued to serve through a series of continuous
reenlistments.
On 27 April 1993, the Calendar Year 1993 Sergeant First Class Selection
Board determined that the applicant should be barred from reenlistment under the Qualitative Management Program (QMP). The basis for the determination was four Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Reports (NCOER) which indicated that he displayed weaknesses in performance and efficiency.
The applicant appealed the bar through his chain of command to the DA
Standby Advisory Board (STAB) on 17 June 1993, which was denied. The
STAB stated that the past performance and estimated potential of the applicant were not in keeping with the standards expected of the NCO Corps and that
the bar would remain in effect.
The applicant was honorably discharged on 30 April 1994 under the provisions
of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 16-8, due to reduction in force. He had completed 16 years, 10 months, and 29 days of creditable service. He was issued an RE code of RE “4”.
Army Regulation 635-200 provides the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Paragraph 16-8 of this regulation sets forth the requirements for early separation of enlisted personnel due to reduction in force, strength limitations, or budgetary constraints. The service of personnel separated
under this paragraph will be characterized as honorable.
Pertinent Army regulations provide that prior to discharge or release from active duty, individuals will be assigned RE codes, based on their service records or
the reason for discharge. Army Regulation 601-210 covers eligibility criteria, policies, and procedures for enlistment and processing into the Regular Army (RA) and the US Army Reserve. Chapter 3 of that regulation prescribes basic eligibility for prior service applicants for enlistment. That chapter includes a list
of Armed Forces RE codes, including RA RE codes.
RE–4 applies to persons not qualified for continued service by virtue of being separated from the service with non-waivable disqualifications such as persons with a HQDA bar to reenlistment.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable
law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. The applicant was properly discharged and was assigned a reentry code
in accordance with regulations then in effect.
2. The type of discharge directed and the reasons for that separation were appropriate considering all of the facts of the case.
3. The applicant has failed to show, through the evidence submitted with his application or the evidence of record, that his QMP for four NCOERs which resulted in his receiving an RE code of RE-4 was in error or unjust.
4. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show
to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that
the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence
that would satisfy this requirement.
5. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
