                                 ADDENDUM TO

                       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.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board  considered  this  application  in
