RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03417 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 6U (not selected for retention by commander) be changed to allow him re-entry into the Air National Guard (ANG). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His NGB Form 22, National Guard Bureau Report of Separation and Record of Service, effective 31 October 2011, should be changed to reflect a RE code that would allow him to re-enlist into the ANG because he faithfully completed his drill dates, do not have an unfavorable information file (UIF), and completed his required training as a services apprentice (3M031). He resigned honorably from the ANG in order to resolve some marital problems with his now estranged spouse. Therefore, it would be a great loss to the ANG and himself for denial of re-enlistment. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard on 28 April 2010 as a prior service member. On 31 October 2011, the applicant was honorably discharged. The authority and reason for his separation was AFI 36-3209, Separation and Retirement Procedures for Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Members, resignation for own convenience. He was credited with 9 years, 2 months, and 16 days of total service for pay. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: NGB/A1PP recommends approval. In accordance with Air National Guard Instruction (ANGI) 36-2002, Enlistment and Reenlistment in the Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the Air Force, the RE code 6U denotes a member not selected for retention by the commander. In this case, the applicant was not able to obtain a security clearance due to his gross financial instability and thereby was given the option to voluntarily separate. He submitted supporting documentation from his losing unit indicating that he was allowed to voluntarily separate in lieu of the losing unit processing an involuntary separation board. In this respect, 6T (unsatisfactory participant/potential unsatisfactory participant) as outlined in AFNGI 36-2002 would have been the appropriate RE code. However, the applicant would have to seek a reenlistment waiver if he wishes to reenlist. A complete copy of the NGB/A1PP 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 20 August 2015 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 timely filed. 3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting some relief. As noted by NGB/A1PP, RE code 6T (unsatisfactory participant/potential unsatisfactory participant) as outlined in AFNGI 36-2002 should have been the appropriate RE code. In this respect, we note the applicant submitted supporting documentation from his losing unit indicating that he was allowed to voluntarily separate in lieu of the losing unit processing an involuntary separation board. Therefore we agree with the opinion and recommendation of NGB/A1PP and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an error of injustice. While changing his RE code to 6T may not provide the applicant the level of relief requested, we carefully considered his request to change the RE code to a code that will allow him to reenlist; however, we are not persuaded by the applicant’s assertions that the requested relief is warranted. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of his honorable discharge on 31 October 2011, he was issued a Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “6T” rather than “6U”. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-03417 in Executive Session on 15 October 2015 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Chair Member Member All members voted to correct the records as recommended.
