RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02501
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His narrative reason for separation (Adjustment Disorder) and
separation code (JFY) be changed.
2. His reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
entry level separation without characterization of service) be
changed to allow him the opportunity to reenlist in the Air
Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
It was his belief that once his condition was no longer present,
and after six months, he could reenlist.
His diarrhea/constipation did not exist prior to service (EPTS);
it was caused by excessive amounts of chow and hydration, due to
lack of sleep and energy during basic military training (BMT).
His condition was temporary; and he is working with an ANG
recruiter.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a note from his
doctor, and copies of his military and medical records.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 4 Jan 11, the applicant entered active duty in the Regular Air
Force for a period of six years.
On 31 Jan 11, the applicant was notified by his commander that he
was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for a condition
that interferes with military service, specifically for mental
disorders. The applicant was 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), specifically Axis I: Adjustment
Disorder, Not otherwise specified Encopresis (w/Overflow
Incontinence). The evaluation stated the applicants condition
interfered with his duty performance/conduct and was of the
severity that his ability to function in the military was
significantly impaired.
On 31 Jan 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and waived his rights to consult with
legal counsel and to submit statements in his own behalf. The
base legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient to support the basis for separation. The discharge
authority approved the separation and directed the applicant be
discharged with an uncharacterized entry-level separation.
On 3 Feb 11, the applicant received an uncharacterized entry-
level separation, by reason of adjustment disorder. He served
one month on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial of the applicants request to change
his RE code. SGPS states the applicants separation was
completed in accordance with established policy and
administrative procedures, and since he does not meet current
medical criteria for military service, they do not support a
change in his RE code.
The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of the applicants request to change
his narrative reason for separation and separation code. 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.
The applicants self-reported symptoms were substantiated by
medical personnel, and were understood to substantively interfere
with his ability to function in the context of the strictures of
BMT. His overall symptoms suggested he was not likely to be a
viable asset to the military prospectively, and separation from
the service was recommended.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to change
his RE code. DPSOA states the applicant has provided no evidence
that supports a change in his RE code. The RE code 2C is correct
based on his entry level separation with uncharacterized service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 Dec 11, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date,
a response has not been received (Exhibit F).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations
of 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.
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.
