		COUNSEL: NONE 

	 	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  3 DEC 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow him to reenlist into the military.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes the RE code is unjust and he is competent enough to serve in the Armed Forces.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on 21 November 2006.  On 11 December 2006, he was referred to the Informal Physical Disability Board (IPEB), for Axis I Psychosis, (Existed Prior to Service), without service aggravation.  The IPEB found his condition existed prior to service, was not permanently aggravated through military service, and was incompatible with the rigors of military service.  On 12 December 2006, the Secretary of the Air Force Personnel Council directed that he be separated from the Air Force for physical disability due to a condition that existed prior to service.

On 18 December 2006, he was discharged with an uncharacterized entry-level separation, under the provisions of AFI 36-3212, Physical Evaluation for Retention, Retirement, and Separation, (Disability Existed Prior to Service – Physical Evaluation Board).  He received an RE code of 2Q “Personnel Medically Retired or Discharged.”  He served 28 days total active service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPD recommends denial.  DPPD states the preponderance of evidence reflects that no error or injustice occurred during the disability process at the time of separation.

The DPPD 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 27 Jul 07, 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 timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to warrant changing the applicant’s reenlistment eligibility (RE) code.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case, however; we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 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.
