STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 14 August 2001, the applicant received notification that he was
being recommended for discharge based on a mental disorder (diagnosed
with Occupational Problems as a consequence of Narcissistic
Personality Disorder). He received an honorable discharge on 30
August 2001 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (personality
disorder). He had completed a total of 2 years, 2 months and 1 day
and was serving in the grade of airman first class (E-3) at the time
of discharge. He received an RE Code of 2C, which defined means
"Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level
separation without characterization of service.”
The remaining 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 at Exhibits C, D
and E.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The AFBCMR Medical Consultant recommends the application be denied.
The AFBCMR Medical Consultant stated that review of the records finds
no reason to call into question the applicant’s diagnosis of a
personality disorder that interfered with his military duties. The
diagnosis was made by a fully qualified clinical psychologist based on
a thorough evaluation. There is no evidence of error or irregularity
in the processing of this case. Action and disposition in this case
are proper and reflect compliance with Air Force directives that
implement the law. The AFBCMR Medical Consultant’s evaluation is at
Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied. DPPRS stated that
the appellant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors
or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing. The HQ
AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied. DPPAE stated that
the applicant’s reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C is correct.
The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant on 17
May 2002 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit F).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. His contentions are duly noted;
however, we do not find these uncorroborated assertions, in and by
themselves sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided
by the respective Air Force offices. We therefore agree with the
opinions and recommendations of the Air Force and conclude that the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either
an error or injustice. In the absence of sufficient 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.

The reason why he separated from the Air Force was due to both his parents having medical problems. Individuals who develop an adjustment disorder due to the stress of the routine rigors of military service with or without concomitant personal issues are not suited for military service and are subject to administrative discharge by their commander. The evidence of record indicates that the applicant was given an entry level separation after being diagnosed with an adjustment disorder.
