AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force states commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection authority. The SRP considers the member’s enlisted performance report ratings, unfavorable information from any substantiated source, the airman’s willingness to comply with Air Force standards and the airman’s ability, or lack of, to meet required training and duty performance levels. The applicant did not provide any proof of an error or injustice, but only states he and his supervisors were unaware of his non-selection and he was not provided ample time to appeal the decision. The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 2 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days.
