`RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00925

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Separation Program Designator (SPD) and Reentry (RE) codes be 
changed to allow reentry into the Air Force.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was depressed in basic training due to the passing of her 
mother so soon after her father’s death.

She desires to once again serve as a member of the Air Force.  She 
has a great attitude and wants to protect and help those in 
leadership to execute the mission of fly, fight and win.  She 
maintains a love and passion for the Air Force and yearns to 
fulfill her dreams of becoming an Airman.

In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of a 
medical recommendation, dated 18 Feb 2014 signed by a civilian 
Licensed Clinical Psychologist. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 6 Nov 12.

On 13 Dec 12, the Medical Operations Squadron diagnosed the 
applicant with an adjustment disorder and depressed mood.  They 
noted the member’s diagnosis did not meet retention standards for 
continued military service and recommended she be administratively 
separated.

On 19 Dec 12, the commander notified the applicant of his intent 
to separate her for a mental disorder in accordance with AFPD 36-
32, Military Retirements and Separations and AFI 36-3208, 
Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section 5B, 
paragraph 5.11.9.  The applicant waived her right to consult 
counsel and to submit statements.  The discharge authority 
concurred with the commander’s recommendation and approved an 
entry level separation. 

On 28 Dec 12, the applicant was furnished an Uncharacterized 
discharge, and was credited with 1 month and 23 days of active 
service.   

The applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects a Separation Code: “JFY”, 
Reentry Code: “2C”, and Narrative Reason for Separation: 
“Adjustment Disorder”.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AETC/SGPS finds no evidence of an error or an injustice.  They 
can support her request to reenter the Air Force if she does not 
require any treatment or counseling for 3 years and receives a 
favorable mental health evaluation.  

A complete copy of the HQ AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice.  Based on the documentation on file in the 
applicant’s master personnel record, the discharge to include the 
SPD code, the narrative reason for separation and character of 
service was consistent with the procedural and substantive 
requirements of the discharge instruction and within the 
discretion of the discharge authority.    

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice.  The RE Code “2C” is required based on the 
entry level separation with an uncharacterized character of 
service.  The applicant’s request to change the RE code to any 
other would circumvent screening of SGPS’s recommended conditions.    

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit E.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 22 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit F).  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.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s 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 requested 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.
