RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03352 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Reentry (RE) code of 2X (first-term, second term or career 
airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the 
Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)) be changed to the RE code 
1J (eligible to reenlist-elected separation or discharge). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Her separation occurred during the “Reduction-in-Force” policies 
and she had to separate because of an unfavorable information 
file (UIF). She knows that she received an Article 15; however, 
even though she was separated with an honorable discharge, she 
was not recommended for reenlistment. She is currently serving 
with the Illinois Army National Guard (ILARNG); however, she 
would like to transfer to the Illinois Air National Guard 
(ILANG). 

 

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of her 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release, or Discharge from Active 
Duty, issued in conjunction with her 15 Mar 07 discharge. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted 
from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the 
letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial stating, in part, the applicant did 
not provide any evidence of an error or injustice that would 
warrant a change of her RE code. She does not provide any 
justification; only that she needs the RE code changed in order 


to transfer from the Army National Guard (ARNG) to the Air 
National Guard (ANG). The RE code of 2X is required based on 
her non-selection for reenlistment by her commander under SRP. 
ANG established their own eligibility requirements and have the 
right not to waive RE code 2X, just as the ARNG allows members 
with RE code 2X. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 27 Nov 10 for review and comment 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 error or injustice. At the time 
members are separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an 
RE code predicated upon the quality of their service and the 
circumstances of their separation. The applicant’s RE code of 
2X accurately reflects that she was considered but not selected 
for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program. 
While we note the applicant is currently serving in the ARNG and 
seeks transfer to the ANG, in our view, the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility has adequately addressed the issues 
presented by the applicant and we are in agreement with its 
opinion and recommendation. Therefore, after thoroughly 
reviewing the evidence of record, and given the circumstances 
surrounding her separation, we find the RE code was issued in 
accordance with the governing directives and that an upgrade of 
the applicant’s RE code is not warranted. In view of the above 
and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis 
to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 


newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
