RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-01864
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so he can reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 30 Nov 00, the Board considered and denied an application for
correction of military records pertaining to subject applicant
requesting that his RE code be changed so that he could reenlist.
While the Board found no basis to change his RE code, they noted that
he was diagnosed with alcohol abuse rather than a “personality
disorder” as reflected in the narrative reason for separation.
Therefore, the Board recommended that the reason for separation be
amended to reflect the correct diagnosis that was made in his case.
However, the governing directive did not provide for a coding for
other than “personality disorder,” an entirely different DSM-IV code
sequence from that with which the applicant was diagnosed; therefore,
the Board recommended that the reason for applicant’s separation be
changed to “Secretarial Authority,” with a corresponding separation
code of “JFF” (Exhibit I).
The applicant has provided additional evidence and requests that the
Board reconsider his application (Exhibit J).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. We have reviewed the
additional documentation submitted; however, we are not persuaded
that the RE code issued at the time of applicant’s discharge was
either in error or unjust. His efforts outside of the military
environment have been noteworthy; however, this does not persuade us
that he has overcome the difficulties which he incurred as a military
member or that he could perform satisfactorily in the highly
structured, demanding military environment. Members separated from
the Air Force are furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of
their service and the circumstances of their separation. Applicant’s
RE code accurately defines the circumstances of his separation.
While we commend him on his accomplishments, we do not find these
achievements sufficient to warrant changing his RE code. In view of
the above, we conclude that no basis exists upon which to recommend
favorable action on the applicant’s request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice;
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

However, an error is noted in his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty), Item 28, which states the narrative reason for separation as being “Personality Disorder.” The BCMR Medical Consultant states that the current Air Force Instruction (AFI) regulating separations for mental health problems does not allow coding for other than “Personality Disorder,” an entirely different DSM-IV code sequence from that with which the applicant was diagnosed.
