APPLICANT REQUESTS: Correction of his military records to show a reentry (RE) code which would allow reenlistment.
APPLICANT STATES: That he would like to enlist in the U. S. Air Force. He has been in the Army National Guard for 3 years and feels that he is qualified to reenter service.
COUNSEL CONTENDS: That the applicant has submitted evidence showing that he is in the Army National Guard. The physical training standards being the same as the Regular Army and the evidence now showing he can pass the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), relief should be granted.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted in the Regular Army on 2 February 1995.
On 31 July 1995, the applicant’s commander initiated separation under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 11 entry- level performance and conduct; specifically, APFT failure. The applicant acknowledged notification of the proposed action and did not desire to make statements in his own behalf. The appropriate authority approved the recommendation and on 21 August 1995 he was discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 11. He received a separation code designator (SPD) of JGA (involuntary discharge for entry level performance and conduct) and a reentry code of 3.
On an unknown date, the applicant enlisted in the Army National Guard.
Army Regulation 635-5, the SPD/RE Code Cross Reference Table, provides that when the SPD is JGA, an RE code of 3 will be given.
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 U.S. 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-3 applies to persons not qualified for continued Army service but the disqualification is waivable.
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. 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.
2. The assigned reentry code of RE-3 was and still is appropriate. The applicant was disqualified from reenlistment, but the disqualification is waivable under Army regulations. The Board acknowledges that the U. S. Air Force may have different enlistment standards; however, that is not sufficient justification to grant the relief requested.
3. 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.
