IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 6 December 2011
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110009671
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests a change of her separation and reentry (RE) codes.
2. The applicant states her separation document lacks the appropriate separation and RE codes for an honorably discharged Soldier.
3. The applicant provides her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty).
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 11 March 1999.
2. On 24 May 1999, she entered active duty at Fort Jackson, SC, for the purpose of attending basic training. On 29 July 1999, upon completion of training, she was released from active duty to her USAR troop program unit (TPU).
3. On 5 July 2000, she entered active duty for training (ADT) at Fort Sam Houston, TX, for the purpose of attending advanced individual training (AIT). On 20 December 2000, she completed training, was awarded military occupational specialty 91B (Medical Specialist), and she was released from active duty to her USAR TPU. Her DD Form 214 shows in:
* item 23 (Type of Separation) Release from Active Duty for Training
* item 24 (Character of Service) Honorable
* item 25 (Separation Authority) MEPS [Military Entrance Processing Station] Self Term Order 029-07-000212
* item 26 (Separation Code) NA
* item 27 (Reentry Code) NA
* item 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) Completion of Period of ADT
4. Orders 03-258-00078, Headquarters, 88th Regional Support Command, Fort Snelling, MN, dated 15 September 2003, discharged her from the USAR under the provisions of Army Regulation 135-178 (Army National Guard and Army Reserve Enlisted Administrative Separations) effective 15 September 2003.
5. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) establishes the standardized policy for preparing and distributing the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldier's most recent period of continuous active duty to include attendance at basic and advanced training and is prepared for all personnel at the time of their retirement, discharge, or release from active duty.
a. Paragraph 2-4h(26) states the correct entry for item 26 is obtained from Army Regulation 635-5-1 (Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes), which provides the corresponding SPD code for the regulatory authority and reason for separation. It further states that under normal circumstances when block 25 reflects the separation resulted from selfterminating orders NA is entered.
b. Paragraph 2-4h(27) states that Army Regulation 601-210 (Active and Reserve Components Enlistment Program) determines Regular Army and USAR reentry eligibility and provides regulatory guidance on RE codes. It further states that these codes are not applicable to officers, U.S. Military Academy (USMA) cadets who fail to graduate or enter USMA from active duty status, or Reserve Component Soldiers being separated for other than cause.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's contention that her separation and RE codes should be changed was carefully considered.
2. The evidence of record shows she was a USAR Soldier who was separated from active duty, upon completion of AIT by a self-terminating order. There is no evidence she was released from active duty for cause. Accordingly, there was no requirement to assign her either a separation code or an RE code.
3. In view of the foregoing, there is an insufficient basis to grant relief in this case.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). While the applicant did in fact enter active duty for training on 11 June 1998, she did so under the split-training program and the initial entry was to attend basic training and not to attain MOS certification.
