IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 9 July 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20120022906
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 correction of the reentry (RE) code on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) from "NA" to an appropriate RE code.
2. The applicant states he needs a reentry code in order to go back into the military.
3. The applicant provides his DD Form 214, dated 24 April 2010.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Georgia Army National Guard (GAARNG) on 23 January 2004 and he held military occupational specialty 11B (Infantryman).
2. On 10 April 2009, he was ordered to active duty as a member of his unit in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and served in Afghanistan from June 2009 to March 2010.
3. He was honorably released from active duty to the control of his ARNG unit on 24 April 2010, by reason of completion of required service in accordance with chapter 4 of Army Regulation 635-200. His DD Form 214 shows he completed
1 year and 15 days of active service. Item 27 (Reentry Code) of his DD Form 214 shows the entry "NA."
4. 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. The RE code is governed by Army Regulation 601-210 (Active and Reserve Components Enlistment Program) which determines Regular Army and U.S. Army Reserve reentry eligibility and provides regulatory guidance on the RE codes. 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 to Reserve Component Soldiers being separated for other than cause.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record shows the applicant was an ARNG Soldier who was mobilized on 10 April 2009. Upon completion of his mobilization, he was released from active duty on 24 April 2010 for completion of required service in accordance with chapter 4 of Army Regulation 635-200. There is no evidence that he was released from active duty for cause. Accordingly, there was no regulatory authority to assign the applicant an RE code.
2. The ABCMR does not correct records solely for the purpose of establishing eligibility for other programs or benefits. The applicant is advised that if he desires to reenter military service, he should contact a local recruiter who can best advise him on his eligibility for returning to military service. He should advise those individuals that the entry "NA" on his DD Form 214 was entered in accordance with the governing regulation and should not be considered as a negative reflection of the character of his service while on active duty or on his reenlistment eligibility.
