IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03288
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 17 SEP 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation be changed to “hardship” and her
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow reenlistment
into the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The stresses that caused her discharge no longer exist and she would
like another opportunity to serve her country.
In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of her Divorce
Decree, a copy of DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty and excerpts from her medical records.
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
27 December 1995, and was progressively promoted to the grade of
airman first class.
On 14 May 1998, she was notified by her commander that he was
recommending she be discharge, from the Air Force for mental
disorders. The basis for the action was the applicant was diagnosed
as having an adjustment disorder. Her inability to deal with the
stressors of the military environment caused her to fail to perform
her assigned duties on two occasions and she received Letters of
Reprimand.
She acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge and after
consulting with legal counsel waived her right to submit statements in
her own behalf. The discharge authority approved the discharge and
directed an honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
She was discharged on 28 May 1998, under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (personality disorder), with
an honorable character of service. She received an RE code of 2C
“Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level
separation without characterization of service.” She served a total
of two years, five months, and two days active duty service.
On 22 November 2006, the applicant’s records were corrected to reflect
a separation designator code of “JFF” and the narrative reason for
separation of “Secretarial Authority.”
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. DPPAE states the applicant’s records
were reviewed along with statements she submitted, and based on the
circumstances of her discharge find no evidence or injustice.
Therefore, the RE code is correct and she has not submitted any
evidence nor documentation from medical authorities that the condition
no longer exists.
The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states 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. She provided
no facts warranting her narrative reason for separation be changed to
“hardship” or her RE code to be changed.
The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
8 December 2006, 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 an error or injustice to warrant changing her
narrative reason for separation to hardship or her RE code. The Board
notes her narrative reason for separation was administratively
corrected to Secretarial Authority. We took notice of the applicant’s
complete submission in judging the merits of the case, however; we
agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices
of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,
we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in
this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

She did not receive any notice of the debt during the eight months after her separation from the Air Force. JA states the Air Force Shaping Program provided certain individuals with an opportunity to voluntarily opt out of their enlistments on the condition that they repay any bonuses received. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the applicant should be given the relief requested.
