FDOZ-0 196	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for a change ta his RE Code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Hoard (DRB) but decl ined lo exercise this right.

J'hc attached brief contains the available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

l'INDINGS:  Change to the RE Code is deni ed.

The board finds that neither evidence of record nor that provid ed by the applicant substantiates an inequity
or impropriety, which woul d justify a change of discharge

ISSUE Applicant does not contest t he discharge; he wants his RE Code changed  so he can  enter the Marine Corp. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to change the RE Code. The records indicated the applicant received an Articl e 15 for failure to go on two consecutive days and two Letters of Reprimand for malingering and illegal use of drugs. The applicants RE Code was accurately reflected as a code of 2B. The Board  concluded  the miscond uct was a significan t departure from conduct expected of all military members and concluded that the characterization of the applicant's discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct and the RE Code was appropriate. Applicant states that the !\1arine Corp will 1101 take him because of hi s RE Code of 2b. The Marine Corp and the Army may wai ve the Air Force RE Code and enlist the applicant. A check of the Defonse Manpower Data Center (DMDC) in Monterey California ind icates that the applicants RE Code is listed as a 4. This is incorrect and the DRB contacted DMDC to correct the system to reflect a KE Code of 2B.   The applicants DD Farm 214 icorrect

CONCLUSIONS:   The Discharge Review Iloard concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive req uirements of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.

Inview of the foregoing findings the board futther concludes that there exi sts no legal or equitable basis for changing the RE Code.
