APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He feels that the decision he made on his reenlistment was a rushed decision.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of his AF Form 901, Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4, and a copy of his DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document.  Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 19 May 1999, in the grade of airman basic, for a period of four years.

On 29 July 2003, the applicant, while serving in the grade of senior airman, was discharged from the Air Force.  He served four years, two months and eleven days of total active service.  On 30 July 2003, the applicant reenlisted for a period of five years.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends disapproval.  The applicant executed this reenlistment under good faith and should have thought through any life altering decisions he was making.  A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant states that he is disappointed with the advisory opinion.  He again states that he made a rushed decision and truly didn’t think it through thoroughly.  He further states that he knows that the reduction of his enlistment from five to four years is asking a lot, but he is extremely sure that if approved it would make him a much happier and a much better airman.

Applicant's complete response is attached at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

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 and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary or showing that he was miscounseled in any way, 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.
