IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-00660
INDEX CODE: 110.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The narrative reason for her separation from the Air Force be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She has never had a "mental disorder" albeit a disability or non-
disability. She indicates her military records can verify this.
Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letters prepared by
the appropriate offices of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, reviewed this application and
states that on the surface, it seems clear that the applicant suffered
from an adjustment disorder in weighing responsibilities to the
military versus her growing concern with caring for her children and
family. Such maladjustment’s fall into the same category of mental
disorders interfering with duty performance as the suspect personality
disorder, and there is, therefore, no reason to consider granting the
applicant's request. The reason for her discharge was most certainly
a mental condition, albeit not one that would indicate a life-long
personality disorder as suggested by the hastily developed diagnosis
she was given. Based on the evidence provided, they recommend denial
of applicant's request.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
The Military Personnel Management Specialist, Separations Branch,
AFPC/DPPRS, also reviewed this application and states that the
applicant neither submitted any new evidence, identified any errors in
the discharge processing, nor provided facts supporting a change to
the reason for her discharge. Accordingly, they recommend the
applicant's records remain unchanged and her request be denied.
A complete copy of their evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluations and provided a
response, which is attached at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice warranting a change to
her narrative reason for separation. After thoroughly reviewing the
evidence of record, it appears that applicant was absent without leave
(AWOL) for a period of three days while she was on temporary duty
attending technical school. The applicant states that the reason for
her unauthorized absence was because she felt a parental
responsibility to be with her two small children and did not feel she
could fulfil her obligation of being a service member. With the
exception of one visit to the Mental Health Clinic, we find no other
evidence that applicant had a mental disorder which precluded her from
doing her duty. In our opinion, it appears that the diagnosis for
which she was ultimately separated was rather hastily developed. It
appears that the applicant developed a growing concern with her family
responsibilities and had a difficult time deciding between her
military career and parental duties. While the reason for her
separation may have been appropriate at the time, we recognize the
adverse impact this has had on the applicant and we believe it would
be an injustice for her to continue to suffer its effects.
Accordingly, we find that corrective action is appropriate as a matter
of equity and on the basis of clemency. Therefore, we recommend her
records be corrected 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 at the time of her
honorable discharge on 3 January 1986, the narrative reason for her
separation was Secretarial Authority and Separation Program Designator
was “JFF.”

2603:

STATEMENT OF FACTS: In May 1997, applicant, a Reservist, while serving on active duty was dismounting a pumper truck ladder. She requested to be transferred to the Retired Reserve effective 3 August 1998. After reviewing the circumstances surrounding the applicant’s accident in May 1997, we are not persuaded that her medical condition of depression should be “In Line of Duty.” The BCMR Medical Consultant indicates that applicant’s depressive disorder predated the onset of her back problem.

Therefore, while the applicant’s daughter has recanted her story, we find no such documentation from this other victim.
