RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02383
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His Narrative Reason for Separation of "Personality Disorder"
be removed from his record.
2. The Reentry (RE) Code of 2C which denotes "Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation
without characterization of service be changed to a RE code of
1.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of his separation, he was experiencing a family
hardship.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty; his medical report, and letters of commendations.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 13 April 2000, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air
Force.
On 24 April 2000, the applicant was diagnosed with an Adjustment
Disorder with Depressed Mood. The Chief, Inpatient Psychiatric
Service recommended he be processed for an entry level
separation.
On 28 April 2000, the squadron commander notified the applicant
that he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, under Mental Disorders. The commander recommended he
receive an entry level separation.
The applicant was advised of his rights and acknowledged receipt
of the notification. At that time, the applicant consulted with
legal counsel and waived his right to submit statements in his
behalf.
The discharge authority directed the applicant be discharged from
the Air Force with an entry level separation without probation
and rehabilitation. On 4 May 2000, the applicant was discharged
by reason of Personality Disorder with a Separation Code of JFX,
and a RE code of 2C. He served 22 days on active duty.
The remaining pertinent facts are contained in the evaluations
prepared by the offices of primary responsibility at Exhibits C
and D.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS states the applicant's records are in error because
the Separation code of JFX does not accurately reflect his
diagnosis of an Adjustment Disorder. DPSOS recommends his
records be corrected to reflect "Secretarial Authority" with a
separation code of "KFF". DPSOS does not recommend a change of
the applicants RE code.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant has not
provided proof of an error or injustice in reference to his RE
code. The applicant cannot be awarded a RE code of 1J because he
was not selected for reenlistment by his commander under the
Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP).
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 17 December 2010, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, there has been no response 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
partial relief. In this respect, we note that the office of the
Secretary of Defense released updated standardized codes to
specifically identify mental disorders. Prior to this change,
all mental disorders were grouped under the code for Personality
Disorder. Since the applicant was actually diagnosed with an
Adjustment Disorder, but was discharged prior to the 2004
change, DPSOS recommends his separation code be changed to KFF
and his narrative reason for separation be changed to
Secretarial Authority. We agree with their recommendation and
believe it is in the interest of justice to change his records to
reflect the more favorable code and reason. We also agree with
the recommendations of DPSOS and DPSOA to deny the applicants
request to change his reentry code. Therefore, we recommend the
record only 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, in conjunction
with his entry level separation on 4 May 2000, he was issued a
narrative reason for separation of "Adjustment Disorder" rather
than "Personality Disorder", and a separation code of "JFY"
rather than "JFX."
