RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01466 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: A Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be added to her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She has been trying to get her DD Form 214 corrected for years but continues to get passed along from one organization to another, without a satisfactory resolution. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 28 Dec 00, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve, for a six year obligation. On 14 Feb 03, the applicant was ordered to active duty in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. On 27 Jul 03, the applicant was demobilized (released from active duty) and reverted to her traditional (part-time) status as a member of the Air Force Reserve. She was credited with 5 months and 14 days of active service and her service was characterized as honorable. Block 27, Reentry Code, of her DD Form 214 reflects “NOT APPLICABLE.” On 12 Sep 03, the applicant was separated from the Air Force Reserve with a Separation Program Designator (SPD) code of KDB (dependency or hardship). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPTS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. Per AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, a member does not receive an RE code unless they are separated on the date of the DD Form 214. The applicant was demobilized, not separated [from the Air Force Reserve], on 27 Jul 03 and returned to traditional Reserve status. A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS 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 4 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 injustice. After a thorough review of the evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances surrounding her post-mobilization release from active duty, a notation of “not applicable” in the RE code field was proper and in compliance with the appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a change to her RE code is warranted. Therefore, we agree with the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 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.
