RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03119

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry (RE) code of 3I (First Term Airman (FTA) selected 
under Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP), no Career Job 
Reservation (CJR) available and removed from the CJR waiting list) 
be changed to a RE code in the 1 series or any other RE code that 
would allow him to reenter military service.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was honorably discharged with no medical or disciplinary 
restrictions and most CJRs were approved soon after his release 
from the Air Force.

Furthermore, by allowing him to reenlist, he may be able to 
retrain into another career field.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 7 Jul 09, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the Regular 
Air Force.

On 6 Jul 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, 
with a separation code of MBK (completion of active service) and 
RE code of 3I (FTA selected under SRP, no CJR available and 
removed from the CJR waiting list).  He was credited with four 
years of active service.   

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:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice.  The applicant did not receive a CJR and 
was not eligible to reenlist and was released from active duty 
after serving his initial four year enlistment.

When manning levels exceed the authorized limit in a specific Air 
Force Specialty Code (AFSC), the Air Staff may limit the number of 
CJRs authorized in that AFSC.  Airmen who do not get a CJR because 
of constraints, will receive an RE code 3I and must separate on 
their date of separation (DOS), unless they apply and are approved 
for retraining.

The applicant is requesting an RE code in the 1 series.  According 
to AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force, 
Chapter 5, with the exception of 1J (eligible to reenlist, but 
elected separation), airmen should not be separated with a 1 
series RE code.  The applicant was not eligible to reenlist and 
did not elect to separate but had to separate without an option to 
reenlist.  Furthermore, 3 series RE codes issued by the Air Force 
are waiverable and can be waived by other components for reentry 
into military.  The applicant further contends that most CJRs were 
approved shortly after his release from active duty.  In Feb 14, 
all CJR constraints were removed; however, service members with a 
RE code 3I were still required to separate.

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 17 Nov 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 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.  
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.
