AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01489
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation, unsuitability – personality
disorder, be changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The narrative reason for his discharge is preventing him from
obtaining gainful employment with the federal government.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, a character reference, his DD Form 214, Certificate
of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, his master personnel
records and excerpts from his medical records and other
supporting documentation.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 February
1979. Documentation submitted by the applicant shows that on
27 July 1981 he was notified of his commander’s intent to
discharge him from the Air Force for unsuitability due to a
personality disorder. Specifically, the applicant was diagnosed
with having a paranoid personality disorder that interfered with
his ability to adequately perform his duties. The applicant
acknowledged his commanders intent, his right to counsel and to
submit matters on his behalf on 27 July 1981: he submitted
matters for his commander’s consideration.
The discharge was found legally sufficient on 8 September 1981.
On 10 September 1981, the commander approved the separation. He
received an honorable discharge and his narrative reason for
separation was listed as unsuitability – personality disorder.
He was credited with serving 2 years, 7 months and 11 days of
active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. The applicant was referred for a
psychological evaluation due to his difficulty in smoothly
relating to his co-workers, showing up to work late and
financial irresponsibility. He stated he believed the people in
his office were out to get him and that he was being treated
unfairly. The evaluation showed the applicant tested at dull
normal intelligence and poor abstract reasoning. It also showed
he was oversensitive and displayed ready resentment and
interpersonal distrust. The applicant also felt emotionally
pressured by his work environment and making adjustment to the
military was difficult for him.
On 2 September 1981, an evaluation officer was appointed to the
applicant’s case. He recommended the applicant be honorably
discharged and the he be considered for probation and
rehabilitation. The commander reviewed the evaluation officer’s
report and determined discharge was appropriate.
The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors
or injustices in the discharge processing. He provided no facts
warranting a change to his narrative reason for separation. The
discharge, to include the narrative reason for separation, were
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge manual and was within the discretion of the
discharge authority.
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 8 June 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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant’s submission in judging the merits of the case;
2
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 that 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 issues 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.
