AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00271
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her character of service on her DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed from
Uncharacterized to Honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The applicant provided no basis for the request.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
DD Form 214 and four character references.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Air Force on 12 Nov 93.
On 13 Dec 93, her commander notified her he was recommending her
discharge from the Air Force for a Condition that Interferes
with Military Service—Mental Disorder. His reason for taking
this action was her diagnosis by the Department of Mental
Health, Wilford Hall Medical Center, as having a Mental
Disorder. She acknowledged receipt, and waived her right to
consult with counsel and to submit statements on her own behalf.
Her commander recommended her for discharge, the case was
reviewed and determined to be legally sufficient, and on
14 Dec 93, the discharge authority directed she be furnished an
Entry-Level Separation.
On 15 Dec 93, she was furnished an Entry-Level Separation with
Uncharacterized service and credited with one month and four
days of active service.
Airmen are given Entry-Level separation with Uncharacterized
service when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD)
determined it would be unfair to the member and the service to
characterize a member’s limited service when separation is
initiated within the first 180 days of active service.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) provided a copy of an Investigative Report
indicating they were unable to locate an arrest record on the
basis of the information provided (Exhibit C).
A request for post-service information was forwarded to the
applicant on 14 Jun 12 (Exhibit D). In response, the applicant
claims she does not remember ever being diagnosed with a
personality disorder. She has never been in trouble, and never
been arrested. She also provides a copy of her college
transcripts (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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred in the discharge process. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the applicant’s entry-
level separation with uncharacterized service for a personality
disorder was consistent with the substantive requirements of the
discharge regulation and within the discharge authority’s
discretion. As a matter of DoD policy, Airmen are given entry-
level separation with uncharacterized service when separation is
initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service.
She has provided no evidence which would lead us to believe that
her entry-level separation with uncharacterized service was
improper or contrary to the provisions of the governing
directive. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable
consideration of the applicant's request.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
2

On 10 Nov 08, the applicants commander notified her that he was recommending her discharge from the Air Force for a condition that interfered with military service (mental disorders).
