AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2001-01465
INDEX CODE: 100.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests his
participation in the disarming of a gunman at the “Natchitoches Christmas
Light Festival” be acknowledged and that his records be corrected to show
his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was incurred during his service
in the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was honorably discharged on 6 Jun 80 under the provisions of
AFM 39-12 by reason of Unsuitable-Personality Disorder-Board Waiver. An
RE Code of 2C was assigned. He completed 2 years, 11 months, and 29 days
on active duty and was serving in the grade of E-4.
A similar appeal was considered by the Board on 31 Jan 01. The applicant
requested to have his narrative reason for discharge, “unsuitable-
personality disorder-board waiver,” be removed from his DD Form 214, and
his participation in the disarming of a gunman at the “Natchitoches
Christmas Light Festival” be acknowledged. After considering the evidence
provided, the Board corrected the applicant’s records to reflect his reason
for separation as “Directed by the Secretary of the Air Force,” with the
corresponding separation code “JFF.” The Board found insufficient evidence
of an error or injustice in regard to the applicant’s request to have his
involvement in the disarming of a gunman at the Natchitoches Christmas
Light Festival acknowledged. The rationale of the earlier decision by the
Board is contained in the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.
In his most recent submission, he again requests that his participation in
the disarming of a gunman at the “Natchitoches Christmas Light Festival” be
acknowledged and his records be corrected to show that his post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) was incurred during his service in the Air Force.
In support of his appeal, he provided a personal statement, statements from
a city police official, an undated unsigned affidavit from a retired
military officer regarding his review of the shooting incident, and
newspaper clippings of the incident. The applicant’s complete submission
is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support
of the appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the applicant has demonstrated
the existence of an error or injustice. We considered the applicant’s
request for an official acknowledgement of the incident in his military
records and to have his records reflect that his PTSD was incurred during
his service in the Air Force. However, after reviewing the evidence
submitted in support of his appeal, we find the applicant has failed to
substantiate his claims regarding the degree of his involvement in the 1979
incident and that the incident in question resulted in his current
diagnosis of PTSD. Based on the foregoing, and in the absence of
persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
overturn the Board’s earlier determination.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
