AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01182
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 15 0CT 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to one that would
allow him to reenlist into the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He enlisted in the Air Force when he was only 18 and immature, but has
now realized his mistakes and would like to serve his country.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a Personal Statement
and a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
24 June 1998. On 10 July 1998, the applicant was notified by his
commander that he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force
for conditions that interferes with military service. The basis for
the action was the diagnoses of Axis I – Adjustment disorder with
mixed anxiety and depressed mood, Axis II – No diagnosis, and Axis III
– Non-contributory. He was advised of his rights in this matter. He
waived his rights to consult counsel, and elected not to submit
statements in his own behalf. The discharge authority approved the
discharge and directed an entry-level separation. On 17 July 1998, he
was discharged with an uncharacterized entry-level separation, under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
(Personality Disorder). He received an RE code of 2C “Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service”. He served 24 days total active
service. On 16 June 2006, based on the fact that he was not diagnosed
with a personality disorder, his DD Form 214 was administratively
corrected to reflect a narrative reason of “Secretarial Authority”.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Based upon the documentation in the
file, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation. The applicant did not
submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the discharge processing. He provided no facts warranting
a change to his RE code. Airman, 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, his
uncharacterized character of service is correct and in accordance with
Department of Defense and Air Force instructions.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
19 Jun 06, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice to warrant changing the RE code.
We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the
merits of the case, however; we agree with the opinions and
recommendation of the office of primary responsibility and adopt it’s
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in view of the
above, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
4. 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 issue(s) 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.
