INDEX CODE: 112.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 28 APR 08
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed.

In support of his request, the applicant provided medical documentation.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant entered active duty on 26 March 2003. On 29 April 2003,
applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to recommend that he
be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI
36-3208, chapter 5, section B, Involuntary Convenience of the government,
paragraph 5.11, Conditions that Interfere with Military Service,
specifically paragraph 5.11.9, under Mental Disorders. The specific reason
for this action was he was diagnosed by the Department of Mental Health,
Wilford Hall Medical Center, as having a mental disorder as contained in
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). It was
determined this condition interfered with duty performance and conduct and
was severe enough that his ability to function in the military was
significantly impaired. The specific diagnosis was adjustment disorder
with mixed anxiety and depressed mood. He was advised of his rights in
this matter and acknowledged receipt of the notification on that same date.
The applicant waived his right to consult counsel and elected not to
submit statements on his own behalf. In a legal review of the case file,
the chief adverse actions found the case legally sufficient and recommended
that he be separated with an entry-level separation. On 1 May 2003, the
discharge authority concurred with the recommendations and directed that he
be discharged with an entry-level separation. Applicant was discharged on
6 May 2003. He served 1 month and 11 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states according to the mental
evaluation, applicant was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder with mixed
anxiety and depressed mood; not a personality disorder. Corrective action
has been taken to correct the DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, to show a separation code of “JFF” and the
narrative reason to read “Secretarial Authority.” 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. Applicant did not submit any 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
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) 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 DoD and Air Force instruction.
The DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 December 2006, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, it is our opinion that
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force, the
RE code assigned (2C) appears to be proper and in compliance with the
appropriate directives. The applicant has not provided any evidence which
would lead us to believe otherwise. Therefore, we agree with the office of
primary responsibility and adopt its rational as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

The AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE recommends the requested relief be approved. DPPAE states based on the applicant’s reason for separation, relief should be granted in recoupment of the unearned portion of his bonus. After a thorough review of the applicant’s military personnel record and documentation provided in support of his appeal, we are not persuaded his SPD code should be changed to one that would not require the recoupment of the unearned portion of his IEB.
