RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05509
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 regrets the decision he made to leave the Air Force. He was
young and made a childish decision. He has excelled in the U.S.
Army and will be a great asset to the Air Force.
In support of the applicants appeal, he submits a diploma and
certificate from the United States Army.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 October
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
was a Behavioral Analysis Service (BAS) letter, dated 28 January
2009, which indicates the applicant was diagnosed with an
Adjustment Disorder with 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. It also disqualified him from retention in
the Air Force.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and waived his right
to consult with counsel and to submit a statement on his own
behalf. In a legal review of the case file, the attorney
advisor found the case legally sufficient and recommended
separation. The discharge authority concurred with the
recommendation and directed the applicant be discharged. The
applicant was discharged on 24 February 2009 with an entry level
separation. He served 4 months and 18 days on active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends approval. SGPS states based on the
documentation on file in the applicants records, they find the
separation was done in accordance with established policy and
administrative procedures. It is unclear how he was cleared to
enter the Army as the RE codes are the same for all services and
his 2C code does not allow one to be separated from one branch
and enter another. If he obtains a normal evaluation by a board
certified psychiatrist he could be considered for an Air Force
waiver.
The SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOR 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 8 August 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 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. The
applicant's complete submission was thoroughly reviewed and his
contentions were duly noted, to include the differing opinions
of the Air Force evaluators. However, we do not find the
applicants assertions and the documentation presented in
support of his appeal sufficiently persuasive to override the
rationale provided by AFPC/DPSOA. Therefore, 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.
