RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01455
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to a code that would
allow him to reenlist.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He does not have an adjustment disorder. During the contested
time period, he had a series of anxiety attacks caused from the
stress of marital problems. He no longer suffers from anxiety
disorders.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal
statement and a copy of a Department of Veterans Affairs Rating
Decision.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 1 December
2009.
The applicant was notified by his commander on 16 August 2010,
of his intent to recommend his discharge from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The
specific reasons follow:
a. On or about 7 July 2010, the applicant was diagnosed
with an adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood.
The severity of his disorder was so severe that his ability to
function in the military environment was significantly impaired.
b. The applicant self-referred to the Mental Health Clinic
presenting significant symptoms of anxiety and depression
related to on-going family problems and difficulty adjusting to
the military environment. Despite medication and multiple
therapy sessions he made very little progress with his diagnosed
condition. He reported strong feeling of depression and stress
related to the Air Force and his technical training. He had
exhibited debilitating symptoms of diminished interest in the
military environment, and has failed to adjust. Accordingly,
based on his diagnosed disorder and manifested actions, he was
eliminated from the Weather Apprentice Course.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and after consulting
with counsel the applicant elected not to submit statements in
his own behalf. The discharge authority concurred with the
recommendation and directed an honorable discharge. The
applicant was discharged on 27 August 2010. He served 8 months
and 27 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records the
discharge to include the narrative reason for separation and
separation code was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority. DPSOS found
no evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of the
applicants discharge.
The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
code 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF,
chapter 3, based on his involuntary discharge with honorable
character of service. The applicant wants his RE code changed
to allow him to reenter the military; however, per recruiting
services prior service reentry guidance, members with RE code 2C
can rejoin the Air Force if a waiver is approved. Recruiting
services decides whether waiver requests are approved or
disapproved. Changing the RE code to circumvent the screening
process required with a waiver would not be appropriate.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 September 2011, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 given the
circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force, we
believe the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a change
to his RE code to allow him to reenlist is warranted. Therefore,
we agree with the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and
adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
_
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
