RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-03878
		INDEX CODE:  112.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry code of "2X - First-term, second-term, or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)" be changed to a code that would allow him to reenlist.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He has nearly 10 years of distinguished service.  His military records are pristine, excluding the blemishes received at his last command, which he feels were wrongfully warranted by his supervisor and commander.  His appeal for nonselection of reenlistment was denied.  He believes it is unjust that an unfortunate experience at a single command should end the career he has devoted so much of his time and effort to.

In support of his request, the applicant provided documentation extracted from his military personnel record.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant with four years of prior active service in the Navy, entered active duty in the Regular Air Force on 26 February 2001.

The applicant was honorably discharged on 25 September 2006, in the grade of staff sergeant.  He served 5 years and 7 months on active duty.  He received a reentry code of 2X.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states although there is no documentation remaining in the applicant's records surrounding his denial of reenlistment, the applicant clearly confirms he was denied reenlistment by his commander.  Commanders make selection or non-selection based on Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs), unfavorable information from any substantiated source, the airman's willingness to comply with Air Force standards, and the airman's ability (or lack of) to meet required training and duty performance levels.

The applicant's commander as the authority on recommendations for reenlistment or non-reenlistment of squadron members, recommended non-reenlistment of the applicant.  Partial documentation submitted by the applicant, along with his statement confirms he was denied reenlistment.  Finally, documentation from the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) on Separating or Retiring Personnel and the Records review printout, dated 2 September 2006 confirms the applicant was denied reenlistment.

AFPC/DPSOA’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 29 February 2008, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

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 an injustice.  After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, it is our opinion that given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force, the reentry code assigned was proper and in compliance with the appropriate directives.  The applicant has not provided any evidence which would lead us to believe otherwise.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 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.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
