AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01205
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her character of service be changed from uncharacterized to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is applying for a Concealed Handgun License (CDL) and her DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
needs to reflect an honorable discharge.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of her
appeal.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
entered active duty on 19 August 2008. On 4 December 2008, the
applicant was referred to the Behavioral Anaysis Service (BAS)
because she reported she felt depressed about being on medical
hold for a hip fracture. The BAS noted the applicant was not
motivated to continue in the military and said she would prefer
to be discharged.
On 28 January 2009, the applciant was notified of her commander’s
intent to recommend her for discharge for mental disorders. Her
commander recommended her for an uncharacterized entry-level
separation based on her diagnosis of adjustment disorder with
mixed anxiety and depressed mood. The Department of Mental
Health at Wilford Hall Medical Center determined her disorder was
severe enough that her ability to function in the military was
significantly impaired.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the commander’s intent and
waived her rights to consult counsel and to submit statements in
her own behalf. On 2 February 2009, the Assistant Staff Judge
Advocate found the case to be legally sufficient. On 4 February
the discharge authority approved the recommended discharge. The
applicant was released from active duty effective 6 February 2009
with uncharacterized service under the authority of Air Force
Program Directive 36-32 and Air Force Instruction 36-3208,
paragraph 5.12. Her narrative reason for separation is
“Adjustment Disorder.”
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that based on the
documentation on file in the applicant’s master personnel record,
her discharge, to include the character of service, was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge instruction and was within the discretion of the
discharge authority. Their office found no evidence of an error
or injustice in the processing of the applicant’s discharge.
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 11 May 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit
D). 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.
________________________________________________________________

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.
