The Chief, Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, reviewed this application
and states that in order to correct an injustice of improperly
labeling the applicant's disorder, the applicant's request for a
change in the reason for his discharge should be granted.

the required uncharacterized entry level separation.

AP PL I CAN TIS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EV ALUATION :
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the

date, no response has been received by this office.
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 a probable error or injustice to
warrant changing the narrative reason for the applicant's
separation. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record
and noting the applicant's contentions, we believe the narrative
reason for separation improperly labels the applicant's disorder.
In this respect, we note the applicant was separated under the
However , the
provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Mental Disorders).
current AFI regulating separations for these types of problems
does not allow coding for other than "Personality Disorder". In
order to correct an injustice of improperly labeling the
applicant's disorder, we believe his request for a change in the
. reason for his discharge should be favorably considered.
Therefore, as a matter of equity and justice, we recommend his
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
4. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of a probable error or injustice to
warrant changing the characterization of the applicant's
discharge. We note that individuals who complete less than 6 -
months of continuous active service receive entry level
separations and there service is uncharacterized. Since the
applicant completed only 17 days of active service, his service
was uncharacterized. The applicant has provided no evidence to
indicate that his separation was improper or that he was denied
rights to which entitled. Therefore, in the absence of evidence
to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend
favorable consideration of his request to change characterization
of his discharge.
