RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 		DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02635

				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Item 27 - Reentry (RE) Code, be corrected to reflect 
anything in the 1# series.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was informed his RE Code would be in the 1 series.  

He has been successfully pursuing his Associate Degree and plans 
on reentering the military upon graduation.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Dec 
12.

On 11 Feb 13, the Resident, Inpatient Psychiatry, Department of 
Mental Health, San Antonio Military Medical Center, in 
accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of 
Airmen, stated in their professional opinion that the 
applicant’s mental health condition was so severe that his 
ability to function effectively in a military environment was 
significantly impaired.  The applicant was disqualified from the 
Personal Reliability Program, a security clearance, weapon 
handling and mobility.  They concluded the applicant was not 
suitable for retention in the United States Military and should 
be processed for an entry level separation.  

On 20 Feb 13, the applicant was notified by his commander that 
he was being recommended for discharge for a condition that 
interfered with military service, specifically for a mental 
disorder, in accordance with AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section 5B, 
paragraph 5.11.  The applicant waived his right to consult legal 
counsel and the right to submit statements on his behalf.

On 21 Feb 13, the discharge authority approved the applicant’s 
discharge.

On 22 Feb 13, the applicant was furnished an Uncharacterized 
discharge, and was credited with 2 months and 5 days of active 
service.   

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty, reflects the following:  Type of Separation as 
Entry Level Separation, Character of Service as Uncharacterized,  
Separation Code of JFY (Service initiated discharge directed by 
established directive when an adjustment disorder exists, not 
amounting to a disability which significantly impairs the 
member’s ability to function effectively in the military 
environment), RE Code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service), and Narrative Reason for 
Separation of Adjustment Disorder.

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 received an RE code of 2C – “Involuntarily 
separated with an Honorable discharge; or entry level separation 
without characterization of service”, as required by AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistments in the USAF.  The RE code 2C is required 
based on his entry level separation.  The applicant contends he 
was informed his RE code would be in the 1# series; however, has 
provided no proof of that fact.  His separation was an 
involuntary action and he had no options to pursue even if he 
knew his RE code was going to be a 2C.

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 9 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.


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.
