RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00382 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of 4I (Serving on the Control Roster) be 
changed to allow him to reenlist into Air National Guard (ANG). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He knows of several staff sergeants who had the same offense on 
their record and they were allowed to reenlist. He believes his 
RE code was given because of the military downsizing during the 
Clinton administration. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, and DD Form 215, Correction to DD Fm 214, Certificate of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 14 Dec 87, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. 

 

On 9 Apr 93, the applicant’s supervisor initiated an AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment/Noncommissioned Officer Status 
Consideration, and nonrecommended him for continued service. His 
supervisor noted the applicant’s marginal duty performance along 
with his not maintaining acceptable personal responsibility as 
reflected in counseling sessions, Letters of Reprimand, and an 
Article 15. The applicant appealed his nonselection for 
continued service and, on 7 Apr 93, his appeal was denied. On 10 
May 93, the applicant acknowledged the denial of his appeal. 

 


He was honorably discharged on 13 Dec 93. He was credited with 
6 years of active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The governing Air Force 
Instruction reflects commanders have selective reenlist selection 
or nonselection authority. The Selective Reenlistment Program 
(SRP) considers the service member’s Enlisted Performance Report 
ratings, Unfavorable Information from any substantiated source, 
the service member’s willingness to comply with Air Force 
standards, and or the service member’s ability or lack thereof to 
meet required training and duty performance. 

 

At the time of the applicant’s discharge he received an erroneous 
RE code of 4I. Since the applicant was nonselected for 
reenlistment by his commander, he should have received the RE 
code 2X (First term, second term or career Airman considered but 
not selected under the SRP). Based on the RE code 2X, the 
applicant has to separate and was not eligible to remain in the 
Air Force. While the 4I RE code is technically incorrect, the 
applicant has provided no evidence to support his request for a 
code that would allow him to reenlist. Accordingly, if the Board 
is not compelled to grant the relief he seeks, his record will be 
administratively corrected to reflect the 2X RE code. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 
20 May 11, 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice. 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 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our decision the 


applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the 
existence of an error or injustice. Although the applicant was 
awarded an incorrect RE code at separation, we note this RE code 
will be administratively corrected to “2X.” We concur with this 
administrative correction and do not find the evidence provided 
is sufficient to support a change of the RE code that would allow 
him reentry into military service. Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting 
The requested relief. 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
