RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-02323

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry (RE) code of “4L” (Separated Commissioning Program 
Eliminee) be changed to a code that would allow him to reenlist.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He desires to reenlist.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered military service at the Air Force Academy 
on 27 June 2013.

On 5 March 2014, the applicant was honorably discharged under 
the provisions of AFI 36-3202 (Secretarial Authority).

DD Form 785, Record of Disenrollment from Officer Candidate – 
Type Training, reflects the applicant was administratively 
separated from cadet status due to a voluntary resignation in 
lieu of involuntary disenrollment for academic deficiency.  At 
the time of his resignation he was on academic probation but 
there were no other adverse actions in his record.  His Air 
Officer Commanding (AOC) stated that the applicant showed a 
capacity for officership, including significant growth and 
development in the short time he had been at USAFA.








AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

USAFA/A1A recommends denial.  A1A states the governing directive 
for reenlistment eligibility codes is AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment 
in the United States Air Force.  The only RE code that applies, 
by verbiage alone, is “separated commissioning program eliminee 
(OTS, AECP and so on)”.  Since the Air Force Academy is a 
commissioning program, this code is appropriate regardless of 
the reason for separation.

The RE code used is appropriate and is consistent with the Air 
Force and DoD guidance.

The A1A complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 27 October 2014, a copy of the evaluation was forwarded to 
the applicant for review and response 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 is timely filed.

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 in his record to allow him to reenlist is 
warranted.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application.  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.
