IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02904
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 allow him to reenter
the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was having trouble with training for the job he was selected.
He believes he was not given the right judgment by being
discharged. He is asking for a second chance.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 June 2011
in Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2F011, Fuel Helper.
On 16 September 2011, the applicant was diagnosed by a
psychiatrist as having an Adjustment Disorder with Depressed
Mood. It was identified that his disorder was so severe that his
ability to function effectively in a military environment was
significantly impaired.
On 25 October 2011, his commander notified the applicant of his
intent to recommend him for an entry-level separation under the
provisions of Air Force Program Directive (AFPD) 36-32, Military
Retirements and Separations, and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-
3208, paragraph 5.11.9.3, for having a mental disorder. The
applicant acknowledged his commanders intent; and, waived his
rights to consult counsel and to submit statements in his own
behalf.
On 26 October 2011, his commander recommended the applicant be
given an entry-level separation without probation or
rehabilitation. After the Assistant Staff Judge Advocate found
the case to be legally sufficient, the discharge authority
approved the recommended separation and directed the applicant be
administratively separated under the provisions of Air Force
Instruction (AFI) 36-3208, paragraph 5.11.9.3, with an entry-
level separation.
The applicant received an uncharacterized, entry-level separation
effective 3 November 2011, in the grade of airman (E-2). His DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
reflects his RE code as 2C and a narrative reason for
separation as Adjustment Disorder. He served four months and
six days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
Code of 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the
USAF, based on his involuntary discharge with an honorable
characterization of service. The applicant does not provide
evidence of an error or injustice in reference to his RE Code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 20 August 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit
D). As of this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. 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 that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
