APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “2X” be changed.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The RE code prevents him from joining the Air Force Reserves.  He has no knowledge why he was given an RE code of 2X when he was discharged.

In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of a printout from the AFRC Recruiting Service and a copy of his DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 November 1992 for a term of 4 years.  He was denied reenlistment by his commander as indicated on the Report on Individual Person.  He was discharged on 22 April 1996, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen.  He received an honorable discharge (Miscellaneous/General Reasons).  He served three (3) years, five (5) months, and six (6) days total active service.  He was issued a RE code of “2X”, First term, second term, or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the SRP.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE reviewed applicant’s request and recommends denial.  The RE code of is correct.  Per report on individual person (RIP), dated 10 April 1996, the applicant was denied reenlistment by his commander.  Further, the applicant received a referral EPR on 23 January 1996 for his substandard duty performance.  Although his records do not reflect documentation that specifically show his commander denied reenlistment, it is concluded that based on the RIP and the referral EPR the commander did take nonselection for reenlistment actions.

The 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 11 Jul 03, for review and comment within 30 days.

_________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.  Evidence has not been provided in support of his appeal, which would lead us to believe that a change to his RE code is warranted.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 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 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.
