	 	COUNSEL:  NONE

	 	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “2X” be changed to “3A” to allow his entry into the Air Force Reserve.

_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The applicant did not present any contentions.  His complete submittion is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 23 June 1993 for a period of four years.

A Record Review Report of Individual Personnel (RIP), prepared 24 July 1996, indicates the applicant was ineligible to reenlist based on RE code “2X,” 2nd term or career amn not selected under Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP).

During the period in question, he received two Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs) with overall promotion recommendations of 3 (Consider) and 5 (Immediate Promotion).

He was honorably discharged on 23 August 1996, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Completion of Required Active Service).  He completed 3 years, 2 months, and 1 day of active service.  He was issued RE code 2X.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that the applicant has not satisfactorily indicated the commander’s action to deny reenlistment was inappropriate or not in compliance with Air Force policy.  The applicant’s records reveal that he performed his duties in a manner that generally met Air Force standards according to his EPRs; however, his last report indicated that with an increase in initiative, he could improve his potential for advancement in his military career.  He required supervision and follow-up to ensure task completion.  Based on his duty performance, his commander had the authority to nonselect him for reenlistment.

The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 18 April 2003 for review and response within 30 days.  However, as of this date, this office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant upgrading the applicant’s RE Code. In this respect, we note that the applicant’s discharge appears to be in compliance with the governing Air Force Instruction in effect at the time of his separation and that he was afforded all the rights to which entitled. Furthermore, he provides no evidence that the commander’s decision to deny his reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) was inappropriate or that the assigned RE Code reflecting that he was considered but not selected for reenlistment under the SRP was in error or unjust.  There being insufficient evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
