APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Although his commander recommended he be retained in the Air Force, he was separated under the FY14 Quality Force Review Board (QFRB) Program. He is now seeking to join another branch of the military and is having trouble. He wishes to continue serving in the United States military. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 24 Jan 12, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. On 26 Dec 12, the applicant consulted counsel, waived his right to a court-martial and accepted an Article 15, Nonjudicial Punishment, for being derelict in the performance of his duties in violation of Article 92, of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He was reprimanded, reduced to the grade of airman (E-2) (suspended), and ordered to forfeit $348.00 a month for one month. On 5 Jun 14, the applicant was notified he was non-selected for retention by the QFRB and his RE code would be 3K--(Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the AFBCMR when no other RE code applies or is appropriate) unless some other higher RE code applies. The applicant acknowledged his non-selection on the same date. On 29 Sep 14, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, with an RE code of 3K, and was credited with two years, eight months, and six days of active service. 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: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The RE code “3K” is currently the only RE code that applies to Airmen that were separated under the QFRB; unless a more restrictive (higher priority) RE code applied. Additionally, the RE code “3K” is the Board’s traditional means of providing relief when they are persuaded that relief is appropriate. The applicant was discharged under the FY14 Quality Force Review Board (QFRB) Program. All Airmen that separated under the QFRB received a RE code 3K; which is waiverable (if they are otherwise eligible) by all branches of the military if they desire to process a waiver. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA 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 17 Nov 15 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. 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.
