AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00648
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her separation program designator (SPD) code (JFX) was assigned to her in
error. She has never been diagnosed with a personality disorder. She
indicates that she would like to reenlist in the Air Force.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 19 November 2002 in the
grade of airman basic for a period of four years.
The applicant was notified of her commander's intent to initiate discharge
action against her for Conditions That Interfere With Military Service,
Mental Disorders.
The commander indicated in his recommendation for discharge action that the
reason for his proposed action was the Behavioral Analysis Service Letter
dated 27 January 2003 indicating that she was diagnosed with Adjustment
Disorder with Depressed Mood. Because of this condition, her ability to
function in a military environment was significantly impaired.
The commander advised the applicant of her right to consult legal counsel
and submit statements in her own behalf; or waive the above rights after
consulting with counsel.
After consulting with counsel, the applicant waived her right to submit
statements in her own behalf.
The discharge authority approved the applicant’s entry-level separation.
On 14 February 2003, the applicant was separated with an entry-level
separation in the grade of airman basic, under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208 (Personality Disorder). She served 2 months and 26 days of total
active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The BCMR Medical Consultant recommended denial. He indicated that the
applicant’s past demonstrated inability to cope with the stress of military
training and the presence of abnormal personality traits is predictive of a
significantly increased risk for recurrence of Adjustment Disorder if re-
exposed to the rigors of military training and service. Action and
disposition in this case are proper and equitable reflecting compliance
with Air Force directives that implement the law
The evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial. They indicated that based upon the
documentation in the file, they believe the discharge was consistent with
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation.
Additionally, the discharge was within the discretion of the discharge
authority. They concur with the BCMR Medical Consultant’s evaluation.
The evaluation is at Exhibit D.
AFPC/DPPAE indicated that the applicant’s RE code of “2C” - Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge, or entry-level separation without
characterization of service is correct.
The evaluation is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant provided a response that is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice warranting her narrative reason for
separation be changed. 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 her separation
from the Air Force was inappropriate. We find no evidence of error in this
case and after thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record, we do not
believe she has suffered from an injustice. Applicant’s narrative reason
and resulting separation program designator code accurately reflects the
reason for her involuntary entry-level separation without characterization
of service. In view of the above, we agree with the opinions and
recommendation 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.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an error or an 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.
