RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:			DOCKET NO.:  01-02091
					INDEX CODE:  100.3
				
    	APPLICANT		COUNSEL:  NONE

    				HEARING DESIRED:  NO

The applicant requests his Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code of 2X be upgraded.  The applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinion was forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received no response.

After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.  Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record.

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.

The Board took note of the applicant’s statement that his DD Form 214 reflects a RE code 2X because he was on the weight management program prior to his separation.  The applicant should be advised that the RE code 2X is for “First term airman, second-term, or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program.”  We noted that an AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, was prepared on 8 October 1999 in which his commander rendered him ineligible for reenlistment, thus being the driving factor for the RE code 2X on his DD Form 214.  The applicant acknowledged the foregoing on 15 October 1999 and elected not to appeal the nonselection.  Thus, his contention he was not notified of his reenlistment ineligibility is without merit.

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.  Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant evidence which was not available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board considered this application on 1 November 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
