RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05509 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His reentry (RE) code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service) be changed to a code that would allow him to reenlist. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He regrets the decision he made to leave the Air Force. He was young and made a childish decision. He has excelled in the U.S. Army and will be a great asset to the Air Force. In support of the applicant’s appeal, he submits a diploma and certificate from the United States Army. The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 October 2008. The applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The specific reason was a Behavioral Analysis Service (BAS) letter, dated 28 January 2009, which indicates the applicant was diagnosed with an Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood. Because of this diagnosis, he did not meet retention standards and his ability to function in a military environment was significantly impaired. His diagnosis also disqualified him for the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP), security clearance, and weapons handling, which did not allow him to continue further training in security forces. It also disqualified him from retention in the Air Force. He was advised of his rights in this matter and waived his right to consult with counsel and to submit a statement on his own behalf. In a legal review of the case file, the attorney advisor found the case legally sufficient and recommended separation. The discharge authority concurred with the recommendation and directed the applicant be discharged. The applicant was discharged on 24 February 2009 with an entry level separation. He served 4 months and 18 days on active duty. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AETC/SGPS recommends approval. SGPS states based on the documentation on file in the applicant’s records, they find the separation was done in accordance with established policy and administrative procedures. It is unclear how he was cleared to enter the Army as the RE codes are the same for all services and his 2C code does not allow one to be separated from one branch and enter another. If he obtains a normal evaluation by a board certified psychiatrist he could be considered for an Air Force waiver. The SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOR states the RE code 2C is required based on the entry level separation with uncharacterized character of service and the applicant does not provide any evidence of an error or injustice in reference to his RE code. The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 8 August 2014, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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. The applicant's complete submission was thoroughly reviewed and his contentions were duly noted, to include the differing opinions of the Air Force evaluators. However, we do not find the applicant’s assertions and the documentation presented in support of his appeal sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by AFPC/DPSOA. Therefore, 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 an 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. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-05509 in Executive Session on 16 September 2014, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
