RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2015-01070

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 6U be changed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He wants to reenlist in the Air National Guard but the RE code of 
6U prevents this.  He voluntarily separated from the ANG and 
received an Honorable Discharge.  Thus, he believes the RE code of 
6U is in error.  His former commander supports the change in RE 
Code and states in a letter he tried to convince the applicant to 
reenlist but he separated. 

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 22 Sep 99, the applicant initially entered the Indiana ANG.

On 12 Mar 12, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, 
with an RE code of 6U, and was credited with 12 years and 6 months 
of service.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1P recommends granting the applicant’s request indicating 
there is an error.  Since the applicant elected to separate with 
an honorable discharge, which was corroborated by his former 
commander, the correct RE Code on the NGB Form 22 should be 
corrected to “1J, (Eligible to Reenlist but Elects Separation.”

A complete copy of the NGB/A1P 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 28 Oct 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.  Sufficient 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 
and 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 been the victim of 
an error or injustice. Therefore, we recommend the applicant's 
records be corrected as indicated below.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to the applicant be corrected to show that the 
Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code, issued in conjunction with his 
12 March 2012 honorable discharge, be changed to 1J.
