RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-05037

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to reflect a primary Air Force Specialty Code (PAFSC) of 3D153 instead of 3D133.

2.  His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow reentry in the military.  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Prior to his discharge, his PAFSC was upgraded from 3D133 to 3D153.  However, his DD Form 214 reflects a 3D133 PAFSC, which resulted in a 4G RE code, which makes him ineligible to reenter the military. 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 3 Feb 10.

On 1 Jun 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 3 years, 3 months, and 29 days of active service.   

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP3ST recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice warranting changing the applicant’s PAFSC.  Per AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, had the applicant held 3D153 as his PAFSC on his date of separation or had applicant served (been assigned to a 5-skill level UMD authorization) for 12 or more months at the time of his separation, 3D153 would have been the correct AFSC for his DD Form 214, Block 11.  However, he was medically disqualified from 3D153 effective 8 May 12, approximately 15 days after the effective date of his 3D153 award.  Effective 8 May 12, his PAFSC changed to 9A300, a disqualified airman awaiting separation.  He held this as his PAFSC until his date of separation 1 June 13.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3ST evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DP3ST recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice warranting changing the applicant’s Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code to allow reentry in the military.  On 12 Nov 15, DP3ST (Classifications) validated the applicant’s AFSC disqualification processing and indicated he was awarded the AFSC 9A300--(Disqualified Airman awaiting separating). Per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, the applicant’s correct RE code is 4G based on not having an awarded AFSC commensurate with his grade.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3ST evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 15 Jun 16 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E).  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 offices of primary responsibility (OPRs) and adopt their 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.
