RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02175
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to allow her to re-enter
the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She entered the military in 2004; she was very young and is not
sure if her problem was because she was young or if the physical
training was too much for her. She was put on some medicine for
panic attacks. She thought the medicine would help, but it did
not. She did not realize that she was ineligible to enlist until
she tried to reenlist.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 8 Jun 04.
The applicant was notified by her commander that he was
recommending her discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section 5B,
Involuntary Convenience of the Government, paragraph 5.11,
Conditions that Interfere with Military Service, specifically,
paragraph 5.11.9, under Mental Disorders. The specific reason
for this action was her being diagnosed by the Department of
Mental Health, Wilford Hall Medical Center, as having a mental
disorder as contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). After a legal review of the case, the
Chief of Adverse Actions found it legally sufficient. The
applicant received an entry-level discharge after serving 1 month
and 15 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
code was based on her entry-level separation with an
uncharacterized service. The applicant does not provide any
proof of an error or injustice in reference to her RE code.
The DPSOA complete 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 29 Jul 11 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. The
applicants contentions are duly noted; however, we are not
persuaded the applicant has been the victim of an error or
injustice. At the time members are separated from the Air Force,
they are furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of
their service and circumstances of their separation. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record, we believe that given
the circumstances surrounding the applicants separation, the RE
code issued was in accordance with the appropriate directives and
appropriately identified her entry-level separation. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon
which to recommend favorable action on 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.

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.
