RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05034
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 a code that would
allow him to reenlist.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes his RE code to be unjust because he was medically
discharged after being in Basic Military Training (BMT) for
little over a week. It was stated he had anxiety - he believes
it was nerves and not anxiety.
In support of the applicants appeal, he provides a personal
statement and two character references.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 July 2012.
The applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to
recommend he be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208 (Adjustment Disorder).
The specific reason was the applicant was diagnosed as having a
mental disorder. It was determined this condition interfered
with duty performance and conduct and was severe enough that his
ability to function in the military was significantly impaired.
The specific diagnosis was Axis I Adjustment Disorder with
Anxiety.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and waived his right
to consult with counsel and waived his right to submit a
statement on his own behalf. In a legal review of the case
file, the staff judge advocate found the case legally sufficient
and recommended discharge. The discharge authority concurred
with the recommendation and directed an entry level separation
with an RE code of 2C. The applicant was discharged on 20 July
2012 and was credited with 19 days served on active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states after two weeks in BMT
he was seen by Mental Health and given a diagnosis that is not
compatible with military service. Based on the documentation on
file in the applicants records, the separation was done in
accordance with established policy and administrative
procedures.
The SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the RE code 2C is
required based on the entry level separation with
uncharacterized character of service and the applicant does not
provide any evidence of an error or injustice in reference to
his RE code.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 2 May 2014, 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record, we believe that given
the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force,
the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a
change in his record to allow him to reenlist is warranted. In
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
Therefore, we agree with the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that 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.
