RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03668 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Reentry (RE) code of 2X (First-term, second-term or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Re-enlistment Program (SRP)) be changed to allow him to enlist in the Air National Guard. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His discharge was the result of his supervisor not training him. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 Aug 11. On 28 Mar 13, the applicant’s supervisor non-recommended him for reenlistment and on the same date, the applicant’s commander non-selected him for reenlistment. In doing so, the commander indicated the applicant was placed on a control roster for failure to adapt to military standards. On 28 Mar 13, the applicant acknowledged receipt and on 2 Apr 13, rendered an intent to appeal the commander’s decision. On 11 Apr 13, the applicant submitted his appeal of the commander’s decision and on 29 Apr 13, the appeal was denied by the appeal authority. On 30 Apr 13, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the denial of his appeal case. On 31 May 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, with a RE code of 2X, and was credited with 1 year, 9 months, and 15 days of total active service. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating the applicant has not provided any proof of an error or injustice in reference to his RE code and his non-selection for reenlistment was in accordance with current guidance. His non-selection for re-enlistment was carried out in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, which indicates that commanders have selective reenlistment or non-selection authority. The SRP considers the member’s Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) ratings, unfavorable information from any substantiated source, the Airman’s willingness to comply with Air Force standards and/or the Airman’s ability (or lack of) to meet required training and duty performance levels. The applicant was in his reenlistment window but was denied reenlistment, which required him to separate under the rollback guidance. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA 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 31 Oct 13 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 an error or 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 conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. While we note the applicant’s contention that he was not properly trained by his supervisor, we do not find the evidence he has provided sufficient to conclude that the commander’s subsequent decision to deny him reenlistment were arbitrary or capricious, disproportionate to the circumstances, or represented an injustice when compared to those similarly situated. 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-03668 in Executive Session on 6 Mar 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
