He received disciplinary action during this period; primarily, relating to issues surrounding his divorce. His last disciplinary action was, on 5 Dec 11 and it was his understanding that it would be purged after six months. He was separated in Dec 12 as a result of being denied reenlistment.

DPSOA notes that In accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, states commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection authority. The Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) considers the members 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 contends all his disciplinary actions should have been purged after six months; however, he received three MFRs, two LOCs, and four LORs for disciplinary actions during his last reenlistment period and commanders should consider all infractions that occurred on the current reenlistment when determining reenlistment eligibility. The complete 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 18 Feb 14 for review and comment within 30 days.
