RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-02372
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry (RE) code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to RE code “3A” which 
would allow him to reenlist.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes his record to be in error.  He was informed that he 
could take a mental health evaluation in order to be eligible 
for reenlistment.  His file shows he withheld medical 
information on his enlistment physical and he states he did not.

The applicant provides no additional supporting documentation in 
support of his appeal.

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________
_

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 13 May 2008.

The applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to 
recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force under the 
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208.  The specific reason 
for this action was the Behavioral Analysis Service (BAS) 
letter, dated 17 July 2008 which indicates the applicant was 
diagnosed with an adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and 
depressed mood.  Because of this diagnosis, he did not meet 
retention standards and his ability to function in a military 
environment was significantly impaired.  His diagnosis also 
disqualified him for the personnel reliability program (PRP), 
security clearance, and weapons handling, which did not allow 
him to continue further training in security forces.  He was 
also disqualified him from retention in the Air Force.



The applicant was advised of his rights in this matter and 
acknowledged receipt of the notification.  He waived his right 
to consult with counsel and waived his right to submit a 
statement on his own behalf.

The discharge authority concurred with the recommendation and 
directed discharge.  The applicant was discharged on 9 September 
2008 with an uncharacterized, entry-level separation.  He served 
3 months and 27 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states the RE code 2C is 
required based on the applicant’s involuntary discharge with an 
uncharacterized character of service and the applicant did not 
provide any evidence of an error or injustice in reference to 
his RE code.

The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AETC/SGPS recommends approval.  SGPS states based on the 
documentation on file in the applicant’s records, they find the 
separation was done in accordance with established policy and 
administrative procedures.  Should the applicant now meet the 
mental health criteria they can support his request.

The SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 6 September 2013, copies of the Air Force evaluations were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 
30 days (Exhibit E).  As of this date, no response has been 
received by this office. 

________________________________________________________________

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 to include the differing opinions of the Air 
Force evaluators.  However, the Board agrees with the opinion 
and recommendation of AFPC/DPSOA that the applicant does not 
provide any evidence of an error or injustice in reference to 
his RE code.  Therefore, we adopt their rationale as the basis 
for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an 
error or injustice.  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 an 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.
