AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01594 

 INDEX CODE: 110.00 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 6H (Drug Abuse) be 
changed to a “1” so she can reenlist. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She never did drugs while she was serving in the Air National 
Guard (ANG), but failed a drug test. She was willing to retest 
on the spot, but was not allowed. The test was a false 
positive. 

 

In support of her request, the applicant provides an expanded 
statement. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, including the attachment, 
is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate she enlisted 
in the ANG on 21 Feb 07 in the grade of airman first class (E-3) 
for a period of six years. 

 

On 27 Sep 08, the applicant’s commander notified her of his 
intent to recommend her discharge from the ANG for drug abuse. 
The specific reason for the action was that the urine specimen 
she submitted on 24 Aug 08 tested positive for marijuana. She 
acknowledged receipt on 27 Sep 08. The case file was found to 
be legally sufficient on 2 Nov 08 and the applicant was 
furnished a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge on 
21 Nov 08. She was credited with one year, nine months, and one 
day of total reserve service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 


 

NGB/A1POE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant failed to provide any 
documentary evidence that describes the circumstances 
surrounding her separation or supports her assertions. 

 

A complete copy of the NGB/A1POE 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 20 Aug 10 for review and response within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 warranting a 
change to the applicant’s RE code. 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 office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence the RE code of 6H, issued in conjunction 
with her General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge, was 
erroneously assigned or inaccurately reflected the circumstances 
of her separation, we find no basis to recommend granting the 
relief sought in this application. 

 

4. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 
 

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.
