RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03005-2
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was honorably discharged on 28 January 1997 by reason of
“Personality Disorder” with an RE code of 2C. He had served 1 year and 2
months on active duty.
The Board considered a similar appeal on 2 April 2003. The applicant’s
initial request was for a change of his separation code, reentry code, and
narrative reason for separation to allow him to reenlist in the military.
Based on the opinion of the BCMR Medical Consultant that the condition
leading to his separation was an “Adjustment Disorder” rather than a
“Personality Disorder,” the Board concluded the applicant’s records should
be changed to show he received an honorable discharge under the provisions
of AFI 36-3208, paragraph 1.2, (Secretarial Authority), with Separation
Program Designator (SPD) code “KFF.” However, the Board found the RE Code
issued at the time of the applicant’s separation accurately reflected the
circumstances of his separation and they did not find the code to be in
error or unjust. Therefore, the Board denied his request to change his RE
Code. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
applicant’s separation, and, the rationale for the earlier decision by the
Board, see Exhibit H.
In his request for reconsideration, the applicant contends his reentry code
is unjust, judgmental, and does not reflect an accurate ruling of his
situation. To support his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement; a copy of his corrected DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge From Active Duty; a copy of a letter to his congressional member
with reply; copies of documentation requesting an enlistment waiver for the
Air National Guard; a copy of his psychologist’s evaluation; and one
character reference. The applicant’s complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit I.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. In earlier findings, the Board determined there was insufficient
evidence to change the applicant’s reenlistment eligibility code. After a
careful reconsideration of his request and his most recent submission, we
do not find it sufficiently compelling to warrant a revision of the Board’s
earlier determination in this case. We note the applicant’s assertions
that the RE Code given to him at the time of his discharge is unjust and
judgmental; however, his military personnel records clearly show that he
was discharged for a condition so severe that it significantly impaired his
ability to function in the military environment. We remain unpersuaded by
the evidence provided that, in view of the discipline required in a highly
structured military environment, the applicant would not again experience
the distress he exhibited at the time of his separation should further
personal problems occur. Therefore, we find no basis to act favorably on
his request.
2. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
