RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-07088
INDEX CODE: 110.02, 110.03
XXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The reason for his discharge be change to Convenience of the
Government, the reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to RE-1
with a corresponding separation program designator.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal 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 Chief, Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, reviewed the application and
states that in order to correct an injustice of improperly labeling
the applicant’s disorder, the applicant’s request for change of reason
for discharge should be granted. Item 28 of the DD Form 214 should be
changed to read: Secretarial Authority, the corresponding SPD (Item
26) being KFF, IAW AFI 36-3208, paragraph 1.2. The RE code (Item 27)
should remain unchanged as it reflects the mandatory uncharacterized
entry level separation for less than 6 months of service.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
The Military Personnel Mgmt Spec Separations Branch, AFPC/DPPRS,
reviewed the application and states that they concur with the AFBCMR
Medical Consultant’s recommendation that the applicant’s narrative
reason for separation should be changed to “Secretarial Authority”
with a SPD of KFF.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluations and states that he
hopes to receive the second chance he asked for to serve in the United
States Armed Forces.
Applicant's complete response is attached at Exhibit E.
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 warranting a change of
reason for discharge. The Board notes that the AFBCMR Medical
Consultant recommends changing the narrative reason for separation on
the DD Form 214 to “Secretarial Authority" and the SPD code to “JFF.”
In this respect, the Medical Consultant states that it is not proper
to apply an erroneous label to an individual because of a recognized
administrative shortfall. In view of the foregoing, the Board
recommends the applicant’s record be corrected to the extent indicated
below.
4. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice warranting a change to
his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code. The Board notes that the RE
code "2C" that the applicant received indicates an uncharacterized
entry level separation for less than 6 months service. We also note
that the applicant served 17 days of total active military service.
In addition, after noting the circumstances surrounding applicant's
separation from the Air Force, we are not convinced that he should be
made eligible to apply for enlistment. Therefore, we find no basis
upon which to recommend that the RE-2 code be changed to RE-1.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 18 April 1997, he
was discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Secretarial
Authority, and issued a Separation Program Designator of “JFF.”
The following members of the Board considered this application in
Executive Session on 4 January 2000, under the provisions of AFI 36-
2603:
Mr. Douglas J. Heady - Panel Chair
Mr. Clarence D. Long - Member
Mr. Edward C. Koenig - Member
All members voted to correct the records, as recommended. The

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.
