STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 31 January
1996.
The applicant was notified by her commander of her intent to
recommend that she be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Entry Level Performance and Conduct).
The specific reason is that on 19 June 1996, the applicant was
diagnosed as having an adjustment disorder so severe that her
ability to function effectively in the military environment was
significantly impaired. A Community Mental Health Service
report reflects the applicant was seen for depression. She
reported experiencing depression and anxiety and desired to be
discharged from the military. It was reported that she had been
released from one service school due to her inability to meet
course standards. Additionally, she reported experiencing
similar difficulty with testing anxiety and preoccupation with
financial and family stressors. It was recommended the
applicant be separated from the Air Force.
She was advised of her rights in this matter and waived her
right to consult with counsel and elected to waive her right to
submit a statement on her own behalf. In a legal review of the
case file, the 81st TRW/JA found the case legally sufficient and
recommended discharge. The discharge authority concurred with
the recommendation and directed the applicant be discharged.
The applicant was discharged on 29 August 1996 with an entry
level separation. She served 6 months and 29 days on active
duty.
The applicant provided additional documentation indicating while
she was in the Air Force her father was terminally ill. She
wanted to be out of the Air Force to care for her father. She
further states she loves her country and desires her record
changed (Exhibit C).

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 find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred in the discharge processing. Based on
the available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was
consistent with the substantive requirements of the governing
instructions and within the commanders discretionary authority.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary we find
not 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.

There is no documentation that reflects further evaluation of this history at the time of her enlistment. The applicant states that it was her depression resulting from the death of her 87 year-old father, in July 1996, and from mistreatment at work by her supervisors that caused her to abuse alcohol and hallucinogenic mushrooms. An April 1995 emergency room entry reported use of alcohol on the day of the incident leading to her emergency care.
