_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her narrative reason for separation be changed to “expiration of  term
of service” and her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be  changed  to
allow reentry into the military.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She made some mistakes during her enlistment due to being immature and
she had no history of mental illness before or after  basic  training.
She would have completed basic training if her recruiter was honest.

In support of her request, the applicant submits a personal statement.

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
15 Nov 05, for a term of four years.

On  5  Dec  05,  she  was  notified  by  her  commander  that  he  was
recommending  she  be  discharged  from  the  Air  Force  for   mental
disorders.  The basis for the action was the applicant  was  diagnosed
as having an adjustment disorder  with  mixed  anxiety  and  depressed
mood.

She acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge  and  waived
her right to consult with legal counsel and submit statements  in  her
own behalf.

She was discharged on 15 Dec 05, under the provisions of AFI  36-3208,
Administrative Separation of Airmen (personality  disorder),  with  an
uncharacterized entry-level separation.

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  one month,  and
one day active duty service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial.  DPSOS states,  that  according  to  the
Mental Health Evaluation, the  applicant  was  not  diagnosed  with  a
personality disorder, but  with  an  adjustment  disorder  with  mixed
anxiety and depressed mood.   In  view  of  this,  the  DD  Form  214,
Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge  from  Active  Duty,  will  be
administratively  corrected  to  reflect  a   narrative   reason   for
separation  of  “Secretarial  Authority”  and  a  Separation   Program
Designator (SPD) of “KFF.”  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  changing  the   narrative   reason   for   separation   to
“fulfillment of service” or a change to her RE code.

Airmen  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, her uncharacterized character of  service
is correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.

The DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOA  recommends  denial.   DPSOA  states,  a  review   of   the
applicant’s records found no evidence of error or injustice;  nor  did
the applicant submit any evidence to substantiate her claim.

The DPSOA evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
26 Oct 07, 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 timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice to warrant changing her RE code
or changing her narrative reason for separation to expiration of  term
of service.  In regard to the applicant’s request  to  change  her  RE
code, we note that she was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder  with
mixed anxiety and depressed mood, and  it  was  determined  that  this
condition interferes with military  service.   In  view  of  this,  we
believe that  given  the  circumstances  surrounding  the  applicant’s
separation, the RE code issued was in accordance with the  appropriate
directives.  However, the Board notes, since  she  was  not  diagnosed
with a personality disorder, but rather with an  adjustment  disorder,
it  has  been  determined  that   her   DD   Form   214,   should   be
administratively  corrected  to  reflect  a   narrative   reason   for
separation of “Secretarial  Authority”  and  an  SPD  code  of  “KFF”.
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.
