RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-05405

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code 2X--(First-term, second- term or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program [SRP]) be changed to allow reentry in the military

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The RE code 2X is unjust because his squadron commander denied his requests to speak with Mission Support Group Commander and Inspector General.  He was told his commander thought his hobby took up too much of his time, but he was never late for any formations, and it kept him in great physical shape.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 17 Jun 08.

On 8 Feb 11, the applicant’s commander did not select him for reenlistment by way of AF IMT 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration.  

On 31 May 11, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with two years, eleven months, and fourteen 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/DP3ST recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, states commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection authority.  The Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) considers the members Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) ratings, Unfavorable Information from any substantiated source, the airman’s willingness to comply with Air Force standards and/or the airman’s ability (or lack of) to meet required training and duty performance levels.  On 8 Feb 11, the applicant was non-selected for reenlistment based on substandard duty performance through a pattern of behaviors that failed to comply with Air force standards.  He acknowledged his non-selection for reenlistment on 8 Feb 11 and rendered his intent to appeal the decision on 10 Feb 11.  His appeal request was denied 4 Mar 11 by the Mission Support Group Commander and the applicant acknowledged the denial on 21 Mar 11.   

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3ST 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 11 May 16 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  After a careful review of the applicant's contentions, documentation submitted in support of the request, and the available evidence of record, we are not convinced the applicant has provided sufficient evidence for us to conclude that he is the victim of an error or injustice.  We also note the applicant did not file the application within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered, or should have been discovered, as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603.  Therefore, because we do not find it would be in the interest of justice to recommend granting relief, and the applicant has offered no plausible reason for the delay in filing the application, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file the application.  Accordingly, we find the application untimely.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness.  It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
