RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03173

  					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  YES 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so she may 
reenlist.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The record is unjust because there are no negative remarks 
supporting the RE status in her records.  She provides numerous 
character reference letters supporting her application.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 20 Dec 07, the applicant entered the Air Force Reserves.

On 14 Jul 13, the applicant’s unit commander and supervisor 
signed a Selective Retention Process form designating her 
potential, motivation, derogatory information, and other related 
factors as reasons for her non-selection for reenlistment. 

On 23 Jul 13, the applicant’s unit commander and supervisor 
recommended the applicant not be considered for reenlistment 
through the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) as annotated on 
the AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) 
consideration for Airmen in the Regular Air Force/ Air Force 
Reserve.  

On 26 Aug 13, she acknowledged receipt of the official 
notification of non-selection for reenlistment and indicated her 
intent to appeal the decision.

On 24 Nov 13, her appeal was denied and found legally 
sufficient.

On 31 Dec 13, she acknowledged receipt of the appeal denial 
decision.

On 20 Jan 14, according to Reserve Order A-0046 she received an 
honorable discharge with a Reserve RE code of 5E.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/A1K recommends disapproval indicating the RE status code 5E 
reported on her discharge order is the correct code.  She was 
denied reenlistment in compliance with AFI 36-2612, United 
States Air Force Reserve (USAFR) Reenlistment and Retention 
Program.  The applicant’s Selective Retention Process form 
documents her squadron commander’s decision to deny reenlistment 
along with the reasons for that denial.  Her AF Form 418 shows 
that she was able to appeal the decision, that the results of 
the appeal received a legal review and that she acknowledged the 
results.    

The complete A1K 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 Feb 15 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.

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


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.
