RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00960
INDEX CODE: 106.06, 110.02
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, she requests her
Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) and Separation Program Designator (SPD)
codes be changed, as well as the narrative reason for her 2005
discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant, with some college and working experience as a medical
receptionist, enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 Apr 04. She
selected the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) Surgical Service
Apprentice, completed Surgical Service Phase I training, and was
subsequently assigned to Andrews AFB on 2 Aug 04 to complete Phase II.
Student records for the period 5-12 Aug 04 indicate she had expressed
anxiety about seeing a lot of blood; she finally indicated she did not
want to remain in the Air Force if she could not choose another AFSC.
On 26 Aug 04, the course medical director recommended the applicant’s
disenrollment for unsuitability, without retention. On 8 Sep 04, the
commander concurred, noting the applicant’s inconsistencies with
respect to her fear of blood, lack of desire to become a surgical
technologist, and stated goal to become a midwife.
A mental health evaluation, dated 3 Jan 05, diagnosed the applicant
has having Adjustment Disorder with depressed mood so severe that her
ability to function in any medical AFSC was significantly impaired and
mission readiness could be compromised when deployed. The level of
dysfunction warranted separation.
On 28 Jan 05, the discharge authority directed the applicant’s
honorable discharge for conditions that interfere with military
service, mental disorders, without probation and rehabilitation (P&R).
The applicant was honorably discharged in the grade of airman, on
7 Feb 05, after 10 months and 2 days of active duty. She was issued
an RE code of 2C (involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge
or an entry level separation), and an SPD code of JFX, which
correlates to a narrative reason of discharge for Personality
Disorder.
On 21 Jun 06, the Board agreed with the AFBCMR Medical Consultant’s
determination that the case should be denied because her Adjustment
Disorder placed her and the Air Force at an unacceptable risk for a
recurrence of her symptoms should she be exposed again to the
stressful environment of military service.
For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
applicant’s separation and the rationale of the earlier decision by
the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.
By letter dated 18 Oct 06, the applicant requests reconsideration of
her appeal and forwards a personality test result with a clinical
psychologist’s conclusions and summary, and a recommendation from a
clinical social worker.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
G.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. We noted the social worker’s
statement and the 13 Oct 06 psychological evaluation, which reports
the applicant currently resides with her family, has a large group of
friends, and is capable of serving in the military. This evaluation’s
background description of her service and training while in the Air
Force appears somewhat disingenuous in that it does not fully reflect
her true situation at the time, as fully documented in her military
records. The applicant’s initial evaluations were conducted while she
was in the actual stressful environment of the military, whereas the
subsequent evaluations were performed after that environment of stress
had been removed. Although the applicant may be functioning well now
with the support of her family and friends, we remain skeptical of her
ability to perform effectively once she is again placed under the
rigors of military life. Given her previously demonstrated
difficulties, retuning the applicant to the demands of active duty
would place her, her fellow members, and the Air Force at unacceptable
risk. We therefore find no compelling basis on which to overturn our
previous conclusion that this application should be denied.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
