RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01997
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily Separated with an Honorable Discharge) on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed to an RE code which will allow him to reenlist.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE code was unjust because his Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) certification was accomplished incorrectly, and he was given a rapid discharge within 14 days of receiving his notification of discharge. While stationed in Wyoming, his daughter became critically ill and was hospitalized several times for a serious illness, causing him enormous stress. His PRP certification was supposed to be taken away for 30-days, but was put through as 365-days due to a clerical error. He was transferred from the security police squadron to the transportation squadron thinking he was to be there for the remainder of the 365-days he was not PRP certified.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially joined the Air Force on 15 May 07.
On 2 May 08, the applicants commander notified him that he was permanently decertified from PRP based upon the recommendation from the wing Mental Health Clinic. The reason for this action was a mental health physician diagnosed him with Adjustment Disorder which was so severe the applicants ability to function in the military environment was significantly impaired. In addition, the mental health physician recommended the applicant be administratively separated.
On 19 May 08, the applicants commander notified him he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for Conditions that Interfere with Military Service: Mental DisordersAdjustment Disorder, and the applicant acknowledged receipt.
On 21 May 08, the applicants commander recommended the applicant be discharged. The discharge package was subsequently determined to be legally sufficient and on 28 May 08 the discharge authority directed the applicant be discharged.
On 5 Jun 08, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge with a narrative reason for discharge of Adjustment Disorder, an RE Code of 2C, and was credited with 1 year and 21 days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice. On 5 Jun 08, the applicant was discharged for Adjustment Disorder. His RE code of 2C was required by AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on his involuntary discharge with honorable character of service. The applicant does not provide any evidence of an error or injustice related to his RE code.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA 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 24 Jul 13 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the applicants 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice with respect to his RE code. Other than his own uncorroborated assertions, the applicant has not provided evidence that would lead us to believe his adjustment disorder diagnosis, personnel reliability program decertification, or his subsequent administrative discharge were the result of an error or injustice or that he was denied rights to which he was entitled. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief.
________________________________________________________________
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.
