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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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.
