RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2002-03560
		INDEX NUMBER:  110.00
	XXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  None

	XXX-XX-XXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  No

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed from 2X, “First Term, Second Term, or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP),” to one that will allow him to reenlist in the Air Force.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He desired to reenlist in the Air Force, but when he applied was told that he had been given an RE code of 2X.  He was not told why he was not able to reenlist.  He has no courts martial or Article 15s.  He received two letters of appreciation from his squadron and served countless temporary duty (TDY) assignments.

He admits that during his time in the Air Force he was immature.  He has since matured and is now planning his future and would like to get back in the Air Force.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of letters and certificates of appreciation that he received while on active duty.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered active duty on 16 Jul 97 and was discharged on 15 Aug 01 after completion of required active service.  The applicant was not recommended for reenlistment under the SRP and received an RE code of 2X.  

A resume of the applicant’s enlisted performance reports (EPRs) follows:

	Closeout Date				Overall Rating

	  15 Mar 99					4
	  15 Mar 00					4
	  15 Mar 01					3

_______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial of the applicant’s request.  A review of his records indicates that the applicant performed his duties in a manner that scarcely met Air Force standards.  There are no records of disciplinary problems in applicant’s records; however, his EPRs reflect that he needed improvement in all aspects of the rating criteria.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 14 Feb 03 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response has not been received.

_______________________________________________________________

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 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 office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the primary basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Although the applicant’s records lack documentation of the specific reasons that he was denied reenlistment, we believe that his performance as documented in his EPRs supports the denial of reenlistment.  Based upon the presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to the contrary, we believe the decision to deny him reenlistment was proper.   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 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.
