_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:  
 
His  separation  code  and  narrative  reason  for  separation  be 
removed from his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty.   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He  told  his  recruiter  of  his  history  of  anger  and  depression; 
however,  his  recruiter  advised  him  to  not  disclose  anything 
because it wouldn’t matter.   
 
The  applicant  does  not  provide  any  evidence  in  support  of  his 
appeal.   
 
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
While attending Basic Military Training the applicant, serving in 
the  grade  of  airman  basic  (E-1),  was  diagnosed  with  adjustment 
disorder with depressed mood during a mental health evaluation.  
During  the  evaluation,  the  applicant  self-reported  he  struggled 
with symptoms of anger and depression since he was 17 years old.   
 
On  13  June  2011,  the  applicant  was  notified  of  his  commander’s 
intent to recommend him for discharge from the Air Force with an 
entry-level  separation  (Fraudulent  Entry)  for  intentionally 
concealing a prior service medical condition, which if revealed, 
could  have  resulted  in  rejection  of  his  enlistment.    The 
applicant  acknowledged  receipt  of  his  commander’s  intent  and 
waived his rights to consult counsel and to provide a statement 
in his own behalf.   
 
On 14 June 2011, the discharge authority approved the recommended 
discharge under the provisions of Air Force Program Directive 36-
32  and  Air  Force  Instructions  36-3208,  Chapter  5,  Section  5C, 
Paragraph 5.15.   
 
On 15 June 2011, the applicant was discharged with an entry level 
separation with a separation code of “JDA” and a narrative reason 
for separation of “Fraudulent Entry into Military Service.”   

 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSOS  recommends  denial.    DPSOS  states  that  based  on  the 
documentation  on  file  in  the  master  personnel  records,  the 
applicant’s  discharge  was  consistent  with  the  procedural  and 
substantive  requirements  of  the  discharge  regulation  and  was 
within  the  discretion  of  the  discharge  authority.    His 
uncharacterized  service  is  correct  and  in  accordance  with 
Department of Defense and Air Force instructions.   
 
DPSOS  indicates  the  applicant  did  not  submit  any  evidence  or 
identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge 
processing.    He  provided  no  facts  warranting  a  change  to  his 
separation code or narrative reason for separation.   
 
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on  27  March  2012,  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.  Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an 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.

with this application.
