___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2V (applied for retirement, or retirement has been approved) be changed.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His RE code of 2V needs to be changed which will enable him to go back on active duty.

In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his DD Form 214, dated 30 Sep 94.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant was honorably retired effective 1 Oct 94, under the Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA), and was issued RE code 2V.  He completed 15 years, 2 months, and 6 days of active federal military service.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPRR reviewed this application and recommended denial.  Applicant requested early retirement through AF Form 1160, Military Retirement Actions, in accordance with the Air Force Drawdown program in effect at the time.  

There is no procedural error or inaccuracy with member’s documents and his RE code is in accordance with Air Force policy.

A complete copy of the 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 18 Jun 04 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

___________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.  Applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we are not persuaded that he 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 the circumstances of their separation.  In this case, applicant retired under the Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) effective 1 Oct 94.  His assigned RE code of 2V accurately reflects that his retirement was approved.  Based on the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 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.
