 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Re-entry (RE) code of “2Q” (Approved Medical Retirement or 
Separation) be changed to allow him to return to service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His injury has been rehabilitated. He was evaluated by his 
family physician and has been found capable to serve under the 
physical fitness and conditioning standards of the military. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant submits a letter from 
his doctor, a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, a copy of AF Form 77 Letter of 
Evaluation dated 5 March 2004 describing duties performed while 
deployed, copies of AF Form 422, Physical Profile Serial Report, 
and other supporting documentation from his military personnel 
record (MPR). 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 23 April 
2002. He received a disability discharge with severance pay and 
an honorable characterization of service on 9 May 2005. He was 
credited with serving 3 years and 17 days of active duty 
service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application 
extracted from the applicant’s military personnel records are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate Air Force 
offices of primary responsibility (Exhibit C and D). Accordingly 
there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of 
Proceedings. 

 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states, the Informal Physical 
Evaluation Board (IPEB) reviewed the applicant’s medical board 
on 23 March 2005 for diagnosis of chronic left ankle pain. The 
IPEB recommended discharge with severance pay with a disability 
rating of 10%. The applicant concurred with the findings. The 
preponderance of evidence reflects that no error or injustice 
occurred during the disability process. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSD evaluation is at exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states, the applicant’s RE 
code 2Q is correct per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United 
States Air Force, chapter 3, based on his disability discharge. 
The applicant’s DD Form 214 accurately reflects his RE code at 
the time of separation and his current medical status does not 
have an effect on his RE code. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 27 May 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. 
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 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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt 
their 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.
