RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-02903
INDEX CODE: 100.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code, the Separation Code and the
Narrative Reason for Separation on his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The RE code of 2C (Involuntary Separation with Honorable Discharge),
the Separation Code of JFX (Personality Disorder) and the Narrative
Reason for Separation (Personality Disorder), are in error and that
his discharge was based on a single incident. He would like to enlist
in the Marine Corps and needs an RE code that will allow him to do so.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 12
March 2002. During his first week of Basic Military Training (BMT),
the applicant was sent to the hospital to be examined for possible
dehydration. The applicant referred himself to the mental health
clinic for an evaluation. Consequently, on 22 March 2002, the
mental health clinic diagnosed the applicant with Adjustment Disorder
Unspecified and Personality Disorder.
On 28 March 2002, the applicant received notification that he was
being recommended for discharge due to Conditions that Interfere with
Military Service, Mental Disorders. He received an uncharacterized
entry-level separation on 8 April 2002 under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, (Personality Disorder). He had completed 19 days of service and
was serving in the grade of Airman First Class (A1C/E-3) at the time
of discharge. He received an RE code of 2C, which defined means
“Involuntary separation with 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 emotional
distress and difficulty adjusting to the military training
environment. He noted the formal mental health evaluation, dated 22
March 2002, rendered diagnoses of Adjustment Disorder Unspecified and
Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified and confirmed that both
were unsuiting for military service. He noted that the action taken
and disposition of this case were proper and equitable.
The Medical Consultant's evaluation is at Exhibit C.
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 the RE code, the Narrative Reason for
Separation or the Separation Code.
AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
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
14 February 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, there has been no response 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice warranting a change in the
applicant's reenlistment and separation codes and the narrative reason
for separation. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission
in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions
and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility
and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not 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.
