RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03860
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her narrative reason for separation of Fradulent Entry into
Military Service and separation code of JDA be changed.
2. Her reentry (RE) code of 2C which denotes Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation
without characterization be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not deceitful when she completed her enlistment
paperwork. She was young, immature, confused, and did not fully
understand the questions that were being asked. She was
stressed from the rigors of basic military training (BMT) and
being away from home for the first time.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 7 Apr 09, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 13 Apr 09, the applicant was diagnosed with an Adjustment
Disorder with Depressed Mood by the Behavior Analysis Service.
Because her diagnosis was so severe, her ability to function
effectively in the military environment was significantly
impaired and did not meet retention standards for continued
military service.
On 17 Apr 09, the applicant was notified of her commanders
intent to recommend that she be discharged from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation
of Airmen for Fradulent Enlistment. Specifically, the applicant
had a history of attempted suicides and suicidal ideations that
were not documented on her DD Form 2807-1, Report of Medical
History; USMEPCOM Form 40-1-15-E, Supplemental Health Screening
Questionnaire, and USMEPCOM Form 601-23-5-R-E, Introductory
PreAccession Interview. The applicant acknowledged receipt of
the notification of discharge, waived her rights to consult with
counsel and to submit a statement on her own behalf.
On 21 Apr 09, the case file was determined to be legally
sufficient to support separation. The applicant received an
uncharacterized entry-level separation, with a separation code
of JDA, which denotes Fraudulent Entry into Military Service
and was issued an RE code of 2C. The applicant was not credited
with any active duty service time.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of the applicants request to
change her narrative reason for separation. DPSOR states that
the documentation on file in the master personnel records
reflects the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority.
Airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first
180 days of continuous active service. The Department of
Defense (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days
continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and
the service to characterize their limited service. Therefore,
her uncharacterized character of service is correct and in
accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change her RE code. DPSOA states that the applicants RE code
2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the Air Force
based on her entry-level separation with uncharacterized
character of service.
DPSOA states the applicant does not provide proof of an error or
injustice regarding her RE code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 26 Nov 12, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has not received a
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 injustice. After
careful consideration of the circumstances of this case and the
evidence provided by the applicant, we are not persuaded the
applicant's narrative reason for separation, separation code and
reentry code are in error or unjust. Therefore, we agree with
the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility and adopt their rationale, as the basis
for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. In view of the above and 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.
