___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be upgraded from 4I (Serving on the Control Roster) after 28 October 2004.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The control roster expired on 28 October 2004 and has been destroyed.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 15 September 1999, in the grade of airman basic.  

On 11 May 2004, he was notified by his commander he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, (Force Shaping Date of Separation Rollback Program), with an honorable discharge.  He acknowledged receipt of the discharge with the understanding that his new date of separation would be 50 calendar days from the date of notification.  He was separated from the Air Force on 29 June 2004, with an honorable discharge. He was issued a RE code of 4I  “Serving on the Control Roster”.  He served 4 years, 9 months, and 15 days total active federal military service.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  Based on the applicant’s own admission, he was serving on the control roster at the time of his separation.  The applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.  He provided no facts warranting a change to his RE code.

A complete copy of the DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states they conducted a review of the applicant’s personnel records and found nothing to support the course of action requested by the applicant.  He was serving on the control roster at the time of his discharge.

A complete copy of the DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 22 Oct 04 for review and comment within 30 days.  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.  Evidence has not been provided in support of his appeal, which would lead us to believe that a change to his RE code is warranted.  Therefore, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  We further note the applicant’s reenlistment eligibility code “4I” is a waiverable code and if he wishes to reenter military service, the respective service may waive the RE code depending upon the recruiting needs of the service at the time, and the applicant may be allowed to reenlist.  Therefore, in view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
