Can a command just void an enlistment without a valid reason? What would cause an enlistment to be void?

I'm prior service Air Force Reserve, went through the full recruiting/waiver process and was approved to rejoin the Air Force. However, my command (fully supported and endorsed by JAG) feel my enlistment should be void based on AFMAN 36-2032 paragraph 5.4.5.5.2. I'm trying to contest this because chapter 5 doesn't even apply to me as an Enlisted member. The command is aware of this but still dead set on unfairly voiding my enlistment. Please advise Thank you

Contact one of these three gentlemen... they are very knowledgeable in Military related questions/issues.

It's not AFMAN 36-2032, it's DAFMAN. But I digress. That DAFMAN reads worse than stereo instructions written in cuneiform.

Are you trying to come back in with a commission?

Wouldn't all your unit's efforts to get your enlistment terminated be nullified by Legal at the higher levels of command that would approved such a termination?

What I'm not understanding is the unit itself is going down this path. What is their motivation?

If a service member showed up on my books, and then showed up to battle assembly with a CAC ID in hand and in uniform I'd presume the guy is legit.

So what gives?

From My PERSONAL Experience...
A Paperwork Screw-Up..
I Was Removed From My Job One Evening, IMMEDIATELY..
They Walked In, Asked "Are You Airman Medrick C. DeVaney"?
I Said "YES". They Said "COME With Me"...
I Was Transferred To A Different Unit The Next Day...And LOVED Being There...
About a YEAR Later I Was Notified To Return To My Previous Unit.... I Went To My CO's Office & He Managed To Get The New Orders Resented..
Here's What The Issue Was: I Lived In Panama For A Couple Years Or So & Had 2 Good Friends: Johnny Volov & Natasha Sucre. Both Have Parents Whom Left Russia & Went To Panama, Just As The CZAR Was About To Take Over,
That's WHY The Removal...I Socialized With Possible Communists
( I Was 14 To About 16 1/2 At The Time)
NOW: Here's What They Discovered During The Investigation.....
And THIS Took Them a YEAR?..
Johnny Volov Is The PRESIDENT Of Panama's "ANTI-COMMUNIST PARTY"..... NATASHA Sucre His VICE PRESIDENT.... Case Closed !! Fum Ducks./.

Your question "with out a VALID reason" what you really asking is does he have a valid reason. we don't know what he and the JAG are saying so we can not tell you if it valid.

As a former recruiter, and Command Career Counselor..... one thing that will shake a command to it's knees.... a Congressional inquiry. Caveat: you better be damn correct all your eggs are in a row <read all your recruiting/personnel & waiver documentation>.
