IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-02087
		INDEX CODE:  112.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from 4I to 4A.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She believes her reentry code was inequitable because it was based on the control roster she was put on prior to separating.  The narrative reason for her separating on her DD Form 214 is for pregnancy or childbirth.

Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 June 2000.

On 18 December 2000, applicant received a Record of Individual Counseling (ROC) for failure to meet mandatory formation.

On 15 February 2001, applicant received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for failure to obey a lawful order, as well as failure to go.

On 30 April 2001, applicant was served an Article 15 for she did, at or near Dyess AFB, TX, on or about 16 February 2001, without authority, fail to go at the time prescribed to her appointed place of duty, to wit:  the Base Fitness Center.  Punishment consisted of reduction to the grade of airman, with a new date of rank of 30 April 2001.

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman, was discharged from the Air Force on 1 June 2001 under provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (pregnancy or childbirth), with an honorable discharge.  She served 11 months and 4 days total active service and she was issued an RE code of 4I which indicates an individual serving on the Control Roster.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS states that they believe the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation at that time.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE states that the reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 4I, “Serving on the Control Roster” is correct.  In accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force, Table 3.4, note 1 states, RE code 4A doesn’t apply to airmen separated for the sole purpose of pregnancy.

A complete copy of their evaluation, with attachment, is attached at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 28 September 2001, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant for review and response within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.	The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.	The application was timely filed.

3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
