                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-03638
                       INDEX CODE:  110.00
      APPLICANT  COUNSEL:  None

      SSN        HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The narrative reason for separation be changed on her DD Form 214  and
her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed  to  allow  her  the
opportunity to reenter the Air Force.

_________________________________________________________________

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  are  at
Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant  entered the regular  Air Force as   an   airman  on  10
June 1998 for a period of four (4) years.

The applicant's commander directed her for a mental health evaluation.
 On 24 February 1999,  the  applicant  was  evaluated  by  a  clinical
psychologist, with the diagnosis Personality Disorder with  borderline
and antisocial traits.

The applicant's commander initiated discharge actions on 2 March  1999
for Mental Disorders.  The applicant was honorably  discharged  on  13
April 1999; she served 10 months of active service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, states the  referral  to  mental
health indicated the severe nature of her problems with interacting in
the military  environment  and  adapting  to  military  standards  and
expectations.  The applicant was diagnosed with an unsuiting condition
of adjustment and personality disorder, which was  appropriately  used
to separate her  administratively.   The  Medical  Consultant  further
states, that service members who have a history of attempting  suicide
are  ineligible  for  reenlistment  in  accordance  with  AFI  48-123,
Attachment 3, paragraph A3.23.5.   Therefore  based  on  the  evidence
provided the  Medical  Consultant  recommends  denying  the  requested
relief (Exhibit C).

AFPC/DPPRS states that based on the documentation in  the  applicant's
records, they believe that the applicant's  discharge  was  consistent
with the procedural and  substantive  requirements  of  the  discharge
regulation and that the discharge was within the sound  discretion  of
discharge authority.  DPPRS further states that the applicant has  not
submitted any new evidence or identified any errors or injustices that
may have occurred during her discharge processing.  The applicant  has
not provided any supporting documentation to warrant a change  in  the
narrative reason of her separation.  Therefore, based on the  evidence
provided they recommend denying the requested relief.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

AFPC/DPPAE states the applicant received the appropriate  RE  code  of
"2C" which reflects that she received an involuntary  separation  with
an honorable discharge,  or  entry-level  separation  without  service
characterization (Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
28 June 2002, for review and response.  As of this date,  no  response
has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

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.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice.  After careful  consideration  of
the circumstances of this  case  and  the  evidence  provided  by  the
applicant, we are not persuaded that the applicant's narrative  reason
and the reenlistment code she received were in error  or  unjust.   In
this respect, it appears that the narrative reason denotes the  reason
for her administrative discharge and RE code "2C" accurately indicates
the member was involuntarily separated with  an  honorable  discharge.
The applicant has not  provided  persuasive  documentation  indicating
that the processing of her discharge was unjust or  erroneous.   While
the applicant’s contentions are duly noted, we agree with the opinions
and recommendations of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as  the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not  established  that
she has been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore,  in  the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no  compelling  basis  to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of 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.
