BOARD DATE: 22 May 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130017528
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 his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending on 1 October 2012 be corrected to show a reentry eligibility (RE) code that will allow him to join the Indiana Air Guard.
2. He states he cannot join the service without an RE code and he does not know why he was not assigned an RE code.
3. He provides his DD Form 214.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. After having prior service as an enlisted Soldier in the Army National Guard, on 12 January 2011, the applicant was appointed as a Reserve warrant officer in the rank of warrant officer one and entered active duty that date.
2. His DD Form 214 shows that on 1 October 2012 he was honorably discharged from active duty in accordance with Army Regulation 600-8-24 (Officer Transfers and Discharges), for failure to complete the course of instruction. He was credited with completing 1 year, 8 months, and 20 days of active service. Item 27 (Reentry Code) lists "NA."
3. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), then in effect, establishes standardized policy for preparing and distributing the DD Form 214. This regulation states the DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldier's most recent period of continuous active service. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. This regulation states RE codes are not assigned to officers and to enter "NA" in item 27.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. As cited in Army Regulation 635-5, then in effect, the entry "NA" will be entered in item 27 for officers. Therefore, there is no error in the applicant's DD Form 214 and it is correct as constituted.
2. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting his request.
