AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00079
INDEX CODE: 112.10
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reentry (RE) code be changed to allow her to rejoin the
military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She does not feel that her actions ten years ago constitute the
person she has evolved into today, and she would like the
opportunity to prove it.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement; a copy of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty; Enlisted Performance Reports;
character references; letters of appreciation; letters of
recommendation; college transcripts; and several education and
training certificates of completion.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served on active duty from 14 July 1999 to 13 March 2003 in the
Security Forces career field. She was progressively promoted to
the grade of senior airman (E-4) effective 14 July 2002.
A Mental Health Evaluation, dated 17 October 2002, indicates the
applicant was referred for evaluation because she twice made
suicidal attempts/gestures in the last year. She was found fit
for duty; however, was diagnosed with Partner Relational Problems
and Histrionic Personality Disorder. The Life Skills Flight
Commander recommended the applicant would be better suited in a
job that does not carry a weapon due to her thoughts of suicide.
A Treatment Summary, dated 3 January 2003, indicates the Life
Skills Flight Commander recommended the applicant be
administratively separated from the Air Force because she was
temperamentally and emotionally unsuited for active duty.
On 15 January 2003, the applicant was notified by her commander
that he was recommending her for an honorable discharge for
conditions that interfere with military service under the
provisions of Air Force Policy Directive 36-32, Military
Retirements and Separations, and Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5.11.9, Mental
Disorders. The applicant acknowledged her commanders
recommendation, consulted counsel, and submitted a statement in
her own behalf.
On 28 February 2003, the Staff Judge Advocate found the case to
be legally sufficient and recommended the applicant be separated
with an honorable characterization of service. On 10 March 2003,
the discharge authority approved the recommended discharge and
directed she be separated with an honorable discharge without
probation and rehabilitation.
The applicant was honorably discharged effective 13 March 2003
with an RE code of 2C (involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge), and a narrative reason for separation of
Personality Disorder. She served three years and eight months
on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS indicates that based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA indicates the applicant has
not provided any evidence of an error or injustice in reference
to her RE code. The RE code 2C is required based on the
applicants involuntary separation with a honorable
characterization of service per Air Force Instruction 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, chapter 3.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant
on 15 October 2010, for review and comment within 30 days. 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 that would
warrant a change to the applicants RE code. After a thorough
review of the evidence presented, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility that the RE code which was assigned at the time of
her separation accurately reflects the circumstances of her
separation, and evidence has not been provided that would lead us
to believe otherwise. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no 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.
