APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He completed the United States Air Force Academy Prepatory School; however, he was unable to secure a position at the United States Air Force Academy. This resulted in his discharge. He was advised once he completed his education he would be allowed reentry through another commissioning program like Officers Training School(OTS). Shortly after graduating with his Bachelor’s Degree he was informed his RE Code needed to be changed. In support of his request, the applicant submits five letters of recommendation. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 12 Jul 06. On 15 May 07, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, and was credited with 10 months, and 3 days of active service. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ USAFA/PLEA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The RE code used in this case is appropriate and is consistent with Air Force guidance. Each accession source has documentation that can be used to waive the “3A” code and allow entry. A complete copy of the HQ USAFA/PLEA 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 15 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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. 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 office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material 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.
