                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-01767
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The narrative reason for his  discharge  from  the  Air  Force,  Personality
Disorder, be removed from his DD Form 214.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was re-evaluated and has no such disorder.

In support of his request, applicant has submitted a copy  of  his  Veterans
Administration Medical  Center  (VAMC)  psychological  examination  results.
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts  pertaining  to  this  application,  extracted  from  the
applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter  prepared  by  the
appropriate office of the Air Force.   Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The BCMR Medical Consultant reviewed applicant's request  and  finds  little
evidence to support the diagnosis of a personality disorder  and  recommends
that the applicant's request be granted.  The Medical  Consultant  indicated
that the applicant's impeccable record up to the point when  he  was  facing
significant stress in his marriage  and  family  situation,  with  no  prior
history of run-ins with authority  of  disciplinary  infractions,  does  not
present an image of someone having a personality  disorder,  and  the  haste
with which he was adjudged and removed from the military seems an  injustice
that should  be  corrected.   This  physician  recommended  the  applicant's
records be corrected to show he was discharged  by  reason  of  "Secretarial
Authority" with a separation code of  JFF  and  a  reenlistment  eligibility
(RE) code of 3K (see Exhibit C).

The Separations Branch, AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed  the  applicant's  request  and
concurs with the BCMR Medical Consultant's recommendation (see Exhibit D).

The Directorate of Personnel Management, AFPC/DPPAES,  reviewed  applicant's
request and states that his RE code is correct (see Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the  applicant  on  29
Sep 00 for review and response within  30  days.   As  of  this  date,  this
office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

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 probable error or injustice.  We agree with the opinion of  the
BCMR Medical Consultant that the reason for the  applicant’s  separation  is
unjust and should be changed.  Therefore, we recommend that his  records  be
corrected as indicated below.  However, we are  not  inclined  to  favorably
consider the recommendation for a change to the applicant's RE code  to  one
that may be waived. The record clearly establishes that because of  personal
problems, the applicant experienced difficulties while in the  service.   We
have seen no evidence that would lead us to believe that  he  would  now  be
able to successfully function in the military environment or that  he  would
be able to comply with the  demands  of  military  necessity  if  a  similar
situation occurred.  Accordingly, it is our  opinion  that  the  applicant’s
records should be corrected only to the extent indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that  on  28  Sep  97,  he  was  honorably
discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph  1.2  (Secretarial
Authority), with a separation code of “KFF.”

    Accordingly, they recommend that his separation code and narrative reason for separation be changed to “JFF - Secretarial Authority.” Airmen are given entry level separation/uncharacterized service characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service.
