RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02658
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntary separation with
Honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without
characterization of service) be changed so that he may reenlist
in the Air Force Reserve.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His separation code is inequitable because it was based on one
isolated incident with no other adverse actions.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he enlisted
in the Air Force Reserve on 27 Mar 12.
On 9 Apr 12, the applicant was notified by his commander of his
intent to recommend his discharge from the Air Force for a
mental disorder. The specific reason for the action was that he
was diagnosed by the Behavioral Analysis Service (BAS) as having
an adjustment disorder with anxiety which significantly impaired
his ability to function effectively in the military environment.
On 9 Apr 12, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action,
waived his right to legal counsel, and waived his right to
submit a statement in his behalf.
On 10 Apr 12, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
furnished an entry-level separation. On 12 Apr 12, the
applicant was furnished an entry-level separation with
uncharacterized service and credited with 16 days of total
active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letters prepared by the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility, which are attached at Exhibits C and D.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating the applicant has not
provided any proof of an error or injustice in reference to his
RE code. His RE code of 2C was issued in accordance with AFI
36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, Chapter 5, based on his
entry-level separation with uncharacterized service.
Additionally, the applicant states he had 28 months of service
but he only completed 16 days of active duty service. During
these 16 days, his section supervisor indicated the applicant
was unable to adjust to Basic Military Training (BMT) and had
numerous break-downs.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, indicating the discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant was self-referred to BAS due
to recurrent panic attacks. He asserted that he was not capable
of functioning adequately under pressure of military specific
stressors in addition to stating reports of passive suicidal
ideation with frequent thoughts of death. The applicants
mental health evaluation indicated that the combination of the
applicants mental health disorder and low motivation to
continue in training, would likely cause problems with
adaptation to military life and become a liability to the Air
Force.
Airmen are given entry-level separation with uncharacterized
service when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD)
determined it would be unfair to the member and the service to
characterize a members limited service when separation is
initiated within the first 180 days of active service.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 20 Sep 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility (OPR) and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error
of injustice. 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.
