	DOCKET NUMBER:    AR1998012057

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Walter Avery, Jr.		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Mr. Edwin S. Castle		Member	
	Mr. Stanley Kelley		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records )

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his reentry code be changed from “3” to “1” and the narrative reason be changed.

APPLICANT STATES:  That the current reentry code and narrative reason is preventing him from state unemployment.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted in the Regular Army on 15 February 1996, for a period of 4 years, was awarded the military occupational specialty of Multi-channel Transmission System Operator, and was assigned to the 82nd Signal Battalion, Fort Bragg, NC.  He was discharged Under Honorable Conditions, in accordance with AR 635-200, Chapter 18, Weight Control Failure on 19 August 1998.

The DD Form 149 was submitted by applicant without any supporting statement, evidence or clarification of how the state was using the DD Form 214 to prevent employment.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:

1.  The reentry code of “1” indicates those who may reenlist without waiver.  The reentry code of “3” indicates those who require a waiver to reenlist.  The applicant requires a waiver, therefore the current reentry code “3” is correct.

2.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
