 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 does not believe the reason for discharge is justified. He 
has grown since being discharged and would like to reenlist. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant submits documents 
extracted from his military personnel records. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 October 
2001. 

 

On 22 July 2003, the applicant received nonjudicial punishment 
under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) 
for failing to refrain from using his Government issued travel 
card for official purposes on or about 1 April 2003 and on or 
about 3 June 2003. Also, on or about 15 April 2003 to on or 
about 20 July 2003, the applicant dishonorably failed to pay his 
debt. 

 

His punishment consisted of a suspended reduction to the grade of 
airman and 30 days extra duty. On 30 October 2003, the commander 
vacated the suspension, finding that on or about 4 October 
2003 the applicant failed to report. The applicant was reduced 
to the grade of airman. 

 

 


AF IMT 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, dated 
22 July 2005 reflects the applicant’s supervisor non-recommended 
him for reenlistment and his commander denied him reenlistment 
eligibility. The applicant appealed his reenlistment 
ineligibility and the commander denied the appeal. 

 

On 1 March 2006, the applicant was honorably discharged in the 
grade of airman first class under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, 
Completion of Required Active Service. He served 4 years and 
5 months on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states AFI 36-2606 states 
commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection 
authority. The SRP considers the members Enlisted Performance 
Report (EPR) ratings, Unfavorable Information from any 
substantiated source, the airman’s willingness to comply with Air 
Force standards and/or the airman’s ability (or lack of) to meet 
required training and duty performance levels. The applicant 
does not provide any justification, but only states he’s grown 
since “that time” and would like to rejoin the Air Force. The 
applicant’s RE code 2X is required based on his non-selection for 
reenlistment by his commander under the SRP. 

 

The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 6 May 2011, a copy of the Air Force 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 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. After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that 
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air 
Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the 
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not 


provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a 
change to his RE code to allow him to reenlist is warranted. 
Therefore, we agree with 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 basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
