		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

At the time he separated from the Air Force, he was going through a family crisis, and was acting out.  He was just young.  He would now like the opportunity to reenter the military, but his RE code prevents him from doing so.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies of his separation documents and character reference statements.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 31 Jul 92 for a period of four years in the grade of airman basic.  

Applicant's Enlistment Performance Report (EPR) profile follows:

	PERIOD ENDING	EVALUATION

	30 Mar 94		3
	 5 Dec 94		3
	13 Jun 95		4

On 31 Dec 95, the applicant was discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Completion of Required Active Service) and furnished an honorable discharge.  He was assigned an RE code of 2X (First-term, second-term, or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP).  The applicant was credited with three years, five months, and one day of active service.

EXAMINER'S NOTE: An Air Force evaluation was not received; however, prior to forwarding the case to the Board the Air Force determined that the RE code assigned is correct.

_________________________________________________________________

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.  The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we are not persuaded that the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice.  At the time members are separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of their service and circumstances of their separation.  After a thorough review of the evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation, the RE code issued was in accordance with the appropriate directives.  Therefore, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable action on 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.
