AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02635
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, Item 27 - Reentry (RE) Code, be corrected to reflect
anything in the 1# series.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was informed his RE Code would be in the 1 series.
He has been successfully pursuing his Associate Degree and plans
on reentering the military upon graduation.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Dec
12.
On 11 Feb 13, the Resident, Inpatient Psychiatry, Department of
Mental Health, San Antonio Military Medical Center, in
accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, stated in their professional opinion that the
applicants mental health condition was so severe that his
ability to function effectively in a military environment was
significantly impaired. The applicant was disqualified from the
Personal Reliability Program, a security clearance, weapon
handling and mobility. They concluded the applicant was not
suitable for retention in the United States Military and should
be processed for an entry level separation.
On 20 Feb 13, the applicant was notified by his commander that
he was being recommended for discharge for a condition that
interfered with military service, specifically for a mental
disorder, in accordance with AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section 5B,
paragraph 5.11. The applicant waived his right to consult legal
counsel and the right to submit statements on his behalf.
On 21 Feb 13, the discharge authority approved the applicants
discharge.
On 22 Feb 13, the applicant was furnished an Uncharacterized
discharge, and was credited with 2 months and 5 days of active
service.
The applicants DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty, reflects the following: Type of Separation as
Entry Level Separation, Character of Service as Uncharacterized,
Separation Code of JFY (Service initiated discharge directed by
established directive when an adjustment disorder exists, not
amounting to a disability which significantly impairs the
members ability to function effectively in the military
environment), RE Code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service), and Narrative Reason for
Separation of 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:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice.
The applicant received an RE code of 2C Involuntarily
separated with an Honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service, as required by AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistments in the USAF. The RE code 2C is required
based on his entry level separation. The applicant contends he
was informed his RE code would be in the 1# series; however, has
provided no proof of that fact. His separation was an
involuntary action and he had no options to pursue even if he
knew his RE code was going to be a 2C.
A complete copy of the AFPC/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 9 Feb 15 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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 applicants 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
(OPR) and adopt its 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.
