and should be expunged from his records so that he may 
reenlist.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 11 Mar 08, the applicant contracted his enlistment in 
the Regular Air Force. 

 

On 15 Sep 11, the applicant’s commander notified him that 
he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for 
Conditions That Interfere With Military Service – Mental 
Disorders-Personality Disorder. The specific reason for 
the action was the applicant’s diagnosis of Axis II Schizoid 
Personality Disorder. His diagnosis resulted in his 
inability to adapt to new people or new situations outside 
of his work environment, inability to deploy permanently, 
and difficulty adapting to different people and unique 
situations, creating a dangerous environment for himself and 
others.

On 15 Sep 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the 
notification of discharge, his right to consult with legal 
counsel, and submit statements in his own behalf. 

 

On 27 Sep 11, the legal office found the case legally 
sufficient and, on 17 Jan 86, the discharge authority 
directed the applicant be furnished an Honorable discharge. 
On 11 Oct 11, the applicant was furnished an honorable 
discharge with a narrative reason for separation of 
”Personality Disorder,” along with a separation program 
designator (SPD) code of JFX and RE code of 2C. He was 
credited with three years, seven months, and one day of 
total active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application 
are contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate 
offices of the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibit C, 
D, and E. 

 

 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS: 

 

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
change his narrative reason for discharge, indicating there 
is no evidence of an error or injustice. Based on the 
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the 
discharge to include the service characterization was 
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the 
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any 
evidence that an error or injustice occurred in the 
processing of his discharge. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at 
Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
change his RE code, noting that in accordance with AFI 36- 

2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, Chapter 3, the 2C RE code 
as being the correct RE code for his involuntary honorable 
discharge. The applicant did not provide any proof of an 
error or injustice in reference to his RE code, but states 
his reason for discharge would be more fitting if listed as 
a hardship discharge. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at 
Exhibit D. 

 

AFMOA/SGH recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
expunge the diagnosis of Schizoid Personality Disorder from 
the military medical record. The available medical 
documents reflect that the doctor clearly used the correct 
criteria as the basis for diagnosing the applicant. The 
applicant did not provide any proof of an error or

injustice in reference to the diagnosis by the mental 
health provider.

Exhibit E. 

 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant reiterates his argument that his diagnosis of 
Schizoid Personality Disorder was an error and should be 
removed from his records. While on active duty, he was 
denied a chance to get a second opinion, but has since 
obtained a second opinion from a civilian practitioner, 
indicating no evidence of a personality disorder. 

 

While he was given psychiatric visits at the base Hospital, 
they could not have constituted counseling sessions given 
the short length of the appointments and lack of discussion. 
While his mannerisms were “offbeat” at times, his behavior 
never impaired the mission. While he would not consider 
himself to be exemplary, he contends that he never received 
anything but praise related to his performance. 

 

Furthermore, while he initially agreed with his diagnosis 
of Schizoid Personality Disorder, he was suffering from low 
morale at the time due to familial problems. His agreement 
was simply taking the easy way out instead of facing 
reality. Additionally, he is compelled to pursue any 
course of action that could remove the diagnosis from his 
records, change his RE code and/or allow him to receive a 
waiver. 

 

A complete copy of the Applicant’s response is at Exhibit G. 

 

 

 

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, 
including his arguments in response to the advisory 
opinions rendered in this case, in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPRs) and adopt their 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 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 newly discovered relevant evidence not 
considered with this application.
