RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02596
COUNSEL: NONE
DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation be changed from Personality
Disorder to General Reasons.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge is unjust because he cannot re-enter the military
with the current statement on his discharge papers.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, and excerpts from his medical records.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered into the Regular Air Force on 24 Feb 99.
The applicants commander recommended him for discharge under
AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section B, Involuntary
Convenience of the Government, paragraph 5.11, Conditions that
Interfere with Military Service, under Mental Disorders. The
applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification and
was advised of his right to consult with legal counsel and submit
statements in his own behalf. He received an uncharacterized
entry-level separation with a narrative reason for separation of
Personality Disorder. He served 18 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SG found the applicants discharge was done in accordance
with established policy and administrative procedures. However,
based on the diagnosis, if his condition is resolved and he is
asymptomatic, he is eligible to apply to re-enter the military.
Although, the applicant did not request his reentry (RE) code to
be changed, SG can support a change to his RE code.
The complete AETC/SG evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. The applicant submits a medical
evaluation from the Gosnold Treatment Center, which states that
he no longer shows symptoms consistent with the Axis I diagnosis.
Although DPSOS is pleased with the applicants progress, it does
not change the reason for which he was discharged from the Air
Force.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 2 Dec 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting a
measure of relief with regard to the applicants request to have
his narrative reason for separation changed. While we note
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, we believe that since the applicant
no longer shows signs of the condition which caused his
separation, his narrative reason should be changed. The
applicant requests to have his narrative reason for separation
changed to General Reasons; however, we believe the appropriate
correction is to change the narrative reason to reflect
Secretarial Authority with the correlating SPD code of KFF.
Therefore, we recommend the records be corrected as indicated
below.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 11 March 1999,
he was discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph
1-2, (Secretarial Authority) with Separation Program Designator
(SPD) Code of KFF.
