RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01540
INDEX CODE: 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While he was discharged on grounds of depression and was having
girlfriend and family problems, he has since matured and become a
strong Christian, both of which have helped him learn to handle
stressful situations with patience and understanding.
In support of his application, applicant has provided a personal
statement that is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 16
June 1999. His initial performance is noted as being “eager” in the
pursuit of his training requirements.
On 26 April 2000, the applicant received notification that he was
being recommended for discharge due to Conditions that Interfere with
Military Service: Mental Disorders, Adjustment Disorders. The
applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge action on 26 April
2000 and consequently noted that counsel was made available to him and
that he waived his right to submit statements on his own behalf.
The applicant received an honorable discharge on 8 May 2000 under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Personality Disorder). He had completed a
total of 10 months and 23 days of active service and was serving in
the grade of airman (E2) at the time of discharge. He received a
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without
characterization of service.”
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The BCMR Medical Consultant found that no change to applicant’s record
was warranted. He noted that the applicant had experienced depressed
mood, excessive sleeping, vague thoughts of self-harm due to
separation from his family and relationship problems with his
girfriend. He noted the formal mental health evaluation, dated April
12, 2000, rendered diagnoses of Adjustment Disorder with Depressed
Mood and Dependant Personality Disorder and confirmed that both were
unsuiting for military service. He noted that the action taken and
disposition of this case were proper and equitable. (Exhibit C)
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial of applicant’s request. DPPRS stated
that the applicant provided no new evidence or facts nor did he
identify any errors in the processing of his discharge action that
would warrant a change to his RE code. (Exhibit D)
HQ AFPC/DPPAE verified that the RE code of 2C was correct. (Exhibit
E)
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
18 October 2002, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response. (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. After careful consideration of
the facts surrounding the applicant’s separation, the discharge
appears to be in compliance with the governing AFI and we find no
evidence to indicate that his separation from the Air Force was
inappropriate. We find no evidence of error in this case and after
thoroughly reviewing the documentation that has been submitted in
support of applicant's appeal, we do not believe he has suffered from
an injustice. Applicant’s assigned RE Code of 2C accurately reflects
his involuntary separation with an honorable discharge. Therefore,
based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which
to favorably consider 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.
