Her  discharge  be  changed  to  a  waiverable   discharge   and   her
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C be changed.

Force.  Her training instructors were biased and  failed  to  instruct
intelligently.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of her DD Form 214,
a personal statement and a copy  of  her  DD  Form  293.   Applicant's
complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 14 October 2003 in  the
grade of airman basic for a period of six years.

On 28 October 2003, the applicant’s commander notified her that he was
recommending discharge  from  the  Air  Force  for  a  condition  that
interfered with military service, specifically for  mental  disorders.
The basis for the commander’s recommendation  was  the  Department  of
Mental Health, Wilford Hall Medical Center diagnosed the applicant  as
having  a  mental  disorder  as  contained  in  the   Diagnostic   and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).   The  Department  of
Mental Health, Wilford Hall Medical Center determined  this  condition
interfered with duty performance and conduct and is severe enough that
her ability to function in the  military  is  significantly  impaired.
The specific diagnoses were as follows:

DSM-IV

AXIS I -   Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed
           Mood
AXIS II -  Deferred
AXIS III - See Medical Record

The applicant acknowledged receipt of the  notification  of  discharge
and waived her rights to legal counsel and to submit statements in her
own behalf.  The base legal office reviewed  the  case  and  found  it
legally sufficient to support separation and recommended applicant  be
separated from  the  service  with  an  entry-level  separation.   The
discharge  authority  approved  the  separation  and   directed   that
applicant be separated with an uncharacterized entry-level separation.

Applicant was separated from the Air Force on 3  November  2003  under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208,  Administrative  Separation  of  Airmen
(personality   disorder),   with   an   uncharacterized    entry-level
separation.  She had served 20 days on active duty.

On 22 August 2005, applicant was informed that there was an  error  on
her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
dated 3 November 2003.  Items 26 and 28 have been  corrected  to  read
“JFF” and “Secretarial Authority.”  This action was taken based on the
fact the applicant was  not  diagnosed  with  a  personality  disorder
(Exhibit B).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS states based on the documentation on  file  in  the  master
personnel records, the discharge was consistent  with  the  procedural
and  substantive  requirements  of  the  discharge  regulation.    The
discharge was  within  the  discretion  of  the  discharge  authority.
Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant’s request.

Airmen  are  given  entry-level   separation/uncharacterized   service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous active service.  The Department of Defense determined if  a
member served less than 180 days continuous active service,  it  would
be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their  limited
service.  Therefore,  her  uncharacterized  character  of  service  is
correct and in accordance with Department of  Defense  and  Air  Force
instructions.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 26 August 2005, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and response within  30  days.   As  of  this
date, this office has received no response.

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.  Evidence has not  been  provided
that would lead us to  believe  the  involuntary  termination  of  the
applicant’s service prior to completion of her term of enlistment  was
improper.  We note the action to administratively  change  the  reason
for  the  applicant’s  separation  from  “Personality   Disorder”   to
“Secretarial Authority.”  After reviewing all the evidence, we do  not
believe relief greater than that already  afforded  the  applicant  is
appropriate.  The record clearly shows that shortly after her entrance
into the Air Force, the applicant  began  to  experience  problems  in
training.  Upon examination, she  was  diagnosed  with  an  adjustment
disorder and separation proceedings were  thereafter  initiated.   The
applicant  has  not  provided  evidence  indicating  the  decision  to
initiate separation proceedings was inappropriate, the information  in
her records is erroneous, or her  substantial  rights  were  violated.
The applicant has also provided no evidence  that  would  lead  us  to
believe, given the rigors of military service,  she  is  now  able  to
successfully continue a military  career.   In  the  absence  of  such
evidence, her requests for a waiverable discharge and a change to  her
RE code are 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.
