RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-01043
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason of Personality Disorder be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His records are in error due to the fact THAT he does not have,
or has ever displayed, any evidence of a mental disorder.
It is an injustice to be labeled with a mental disorder after a
two-minute conversation with a doctor. He questions the
validity of a diagnosis based on one meeting for such a short
period of time.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 27 Feb 07. He
served for 26 days.
On 8 Mar 07, the applicant was seen in the emergency room and
referred to the Behavioral Analysis Service (BAS). On 9 Mar 07,
he was evaluated by the BAS and diagnosed with Adjustment
Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood. Further, the
physician recommended expeditious administrative separation and
indicated the applicants disorder severely impacted his ability
to function in the military environment.
On 15 Mar 07, the applicant was notified of pending discharge
action. Specifically, the commander cited the applicants
diagnosis as the basis for discharge. The applicant consulted
counsel and waived his right to submit statements in his own
behalf.
On 20 Mar 07, the staff judge advocate found the case legally
sufficient and the discharge authority directed discharge. The
applicant was discharged on 22 Mar 07 with an uncharacterized,
entry level separation, with a narrative reason for separation
of Personality Disorder and a separation code of JFX.
Airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated within the first
180 days of 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.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends the applicants narrative reason and
corresponding separation code be changed to Adjustment Disorder
and JFY.
DPSOS states there was an error in his separation code; however,
this does not infer his separation was incorrect. Since he was
diagnosed with an adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and
depressed mood, his narrative reason for discharge and
corresponding separation code should have been Adjustment
Disorder and JFY.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 21 Aug 09 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We note the
applicants narrative reason for discharge and separation code
were erroneously entered on his DD Form 214. Therefore, we
concur with the office of primary responsibility and recommend
his records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on
22 March 2007, he was discharged with a narrative reason of
Adjustment Disorder rather than Personality Disorder, and a
separation code of JFY rather than JFX.
