                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-02075
            INDEX CODE:

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His record be changed to reflect a Reenlistment Code (RE)  that  would
enable him to reenlist in the Air Force.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His discharge based on a personality disorder is in error.

Applicant’s appeal is located at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant entered active duty on July 21 1999.  Based on his  response
to a  questionnaire  (given  to  all  trainees)  he  was  referred  to
Behavioral Analysis Service (BAS) for an evaluation.  The  results  of
the evaluation  were  a  diagnosis  of  Impulse-Control  Disorder  Not
Otherwise Specified and Alcohol Abuse.

Applicant’s commander initiated discharge action against the applicant
on 5 August  1999  for  a  condition  that  interferes  with  military
service, specifically  for  mental  disorders.   The  reason  for  the
proposed action was the above-cited diagnosis.  On the same  date  the
applicant acknowledged receipt  of  the  discharge  notification.   He
waived his option to consult counsel and waived his  right  to  submit
statements.  On 6 August 1999, the  discharge  authority  approved  an
entry-level separation.  On 10 August 1999, the applicant received  an
uncharacterized entry-level separation under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, by reason of Personality Disorder and was issued an 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 issued  an  opinion  that  no  change  was
warranted in the applicant’s record.  He noted that the applicant  had
been diagnosed with impulse control disorder and  alcohol  abuse  that
were incompatible with military service.  The applicant’s  pattern  of
behavior related to impulse and anger control had been  long  standing
prior to entering the service.  In this case, the label of personality
disorder in the narrative reason for discharge is reasonably  accurate
and appropriate.  (Exhibit C)

HQ AFPC/DPPRS  recommended  denial  stating  that  the  discharge  was
consistent with the procedural and  substantive  requirements  of  the
discharge regulation.  Additionally, the applicant did not provide any
new evidence or identify any specific errors or injustices during  his
discharge processing. (Exhibit D)

HQ  AFPC/DPPAE  verified  that  the  RE  code  of  2C,  (Involuntarily
separated with an  honorable  discharge;  or  entry  level  separation
without characterization of service) is correct. (Exhibit E)

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
15 November 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 a thorough review  of  the
evidence of record and applicant's submission, 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
entry-level   separation   without   characterization   of    service.
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


                                      2
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.
