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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force 8 Jan 08.

On 27 Feb 12, the applicant received an Article 15 for operating a vehicle while drunk, in violation of Article 111 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

According to the AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, on 21 Mar 13, the applicant’s commander non-selected him for reenlistment.  The commander indicated the applicant received an Article 15 for driving under the influence and therefore, does not meet quality force indicator.

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/DP3ST recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  On 21 Mar 13, the applicant’s commander non-selected him for reenlistment.

AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, states commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection authority.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 10 May 16 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
