RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00670
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation, Personality Disorder, be
changed to reflect depression.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation is unjust because she was in
a state of severe depression due to the conditions of basic
military training (BMT).
In support of her request, the applicant provides a DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge or Dismissal from the
Armed Forces of the United States and a copy of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Examiners Note: The applicants DD Form 214 reflect she was
separated due to a Personality Disorder; however, the discharge
package was missing from in the military personnel record.
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 May 2008 in
the grade of airman basic.
On 18 June 2008, the applicant was discharged with an
uncharacterized entry-level separation. She served one month on
active duty. She received a separation code of JFX (Personality
Disorder) and a reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without
characterization of service).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The AFBCMR Medical Consultant recommends denial of the
applicants request to change her narrative reason for separation
to depression; however, he recommends changing the narrative
reason to Adjustment Disorder with the applicable separation
code. The AFBCMR Medical Consultant has confirmed, through
direct contact with one of the applicants caregivers, that her
actual clinical diagnosis was an Adjustment Disorder and not
Personality Disorder. The AFBCMR Medical Consultant acknowledges
that an Adjustment Disorder, by its nature, is diagnostic of a
maladaptive pattern of behavior in response to a given stressor
or set of stressors; and that after removal from or resolution of
the stressor, full recovery is often realized. Although not
requested by the applicant, absent evidence of resolution of her
Adjustment Disorder or evidence of an unlikelihood of its
recurrence, the AFBCMR Medical Consultant recommends no change in
the RE code.
The AFBCMR Medical Consultants complete evaluation is at Exhibit
C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 29 January 2010, a copy of the AFBCMR Medical Consultants
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 timely filed.
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 applicants
submission, we believe that the requested relief is not warranted
and the applicant has not provided any evidence which would lead
us to believe otherwise. However, as noted by the AFBCMR Medical
Consultant, through direct contact with one of the applicants
caregivers, the applicant was diagnosed with an adjustment
disorder. In view of this, and to preclude any further injustice
to the applicant, we recommend the narrative reason for her
separation and the corresponding separation code be changed to
reflect Adjustment Disorder.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was
discharged on 18 June 2008 with a narrative reason for separation
of "Adjustment Disorder" rather than "Personality Disorder," and
a separation code of "JFY" rather than "JFX."

AF | BCMR | CY2005 | BC-2004-02968
Her personality disorder, the primary diagnosis, was considered unsuiting for military service warranting administrative discharge from the Air Force. The applicant was administratively discharged for unsuitability due to personality disorder. Review of the mental health memorandum and personnel record does not disclose any evidence to support correction of records from an administrative discharge for personality disorder to another reason.
AF | BCMR | CY2013 | BC 2012 03017
Her narrative reason for separation does not have an effect on her RE code, as her RE code is driven by her involuntary discharge and honorable character of service. However, by a majority vote, the Board recommended denial of a change to the reentry code. AFPC/DPSOR has admitted that her discharge reason for separation and the corresponding separation code should be corrected.
AF | BCMR | CY2006 | BC-2005-03297
In support of her request, the applicant provided a Mental Health Evaluation, dated 28 Jun 06, from the Life Skills Support Center, 90 MDOS/SGOH, F.E.

As personality disorders are frequently exacerbated by stress, they may...
