STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 22 Oct 09, the applicant was notified by his commander that
he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force for a
condition that interferes with military service; specifically
for mental disorders. The basis for the action was on 23 Sep
09, the applicant was diagnosed with a borderline personality
disorder, which was deemed unsuitable for continued military
service.
He was advised of his rights in this matter. He consulted
counsel, and elected not to submit statements on his own behalf.
The discharge authority approved the discharge and directed an
honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
On 16 Nov 09, the applicant was separated with an honorable
discharge under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, (Mental Disorders). His narrative reason
for separation was Mental Disorder (other). He received an RE
code of 2C. He served 1 year, 4 months and 16 days total active
service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his narrative reason for separation. DPSOS states the
applicants narrative reason for separation was consistent with
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
instruction and was within the discretion of the discharge
authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his RE Code. DPSOA states the applicants RE code of 2C
is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States
Air Force, based on his involuntary discharge with honorable
character of service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 6 Jan 12, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
E).
________________________________________________________________
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 opinion and recommendation
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion 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.
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(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
