condition, nota disability (personality disorder), and were

reenlistment code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
current desire to upgrade your discharge. However, the Board
concluded that your discharge should not be changed because of
your misconduct and failure to complete your enlistment. You
