RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01901 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His narrative reason of “fraudulent entry into military service” be changed to “erroneous”. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He believes the narrative reason is erroneous because his recruiter told him to withhold his past medical history from the Air Force. In support of his request, the applicant provides a written statement, copy of his DD Form 214 Certificate of Discharge from Active Duty, an AF IMT 100, Request and Authorization for Separation and other supporting documentation. His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 08 February 2011. On 21 April 2011, the applicant was notified of his commander’s intent to discharge him from the Air Force for defective enlistment: fraudulent entry into military service. Specifically, the applicant did not meet the medical requirements to enlist. On 21 April 2011, the applicant acknowledged his commander’s intent to discharge him. He also acknowledged his right to consult counsel and submit statements on his behalf: he accepted an appointment with the Area Defense Counsel and submitted statements for consideration. On 2 May 2011 the commander directed the applicant be separated with an entry level separation. His service was “uncharacterized” and his narrative reason for separation was listed as “fraudulent entry into military service.” ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states the applicant failed to disclose major medical issues at the time of his accession examination. Had they been disclosed he would have been found disqualified for military service. The separation was in accordance with established policy and administrative procedures. Since the applicant did not meet and currently does not meet medical criteria for military duty, they do not support a change to his separation code. The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the discharge to include the narrative reason for separation was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the discretion of discharge authority. The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing. He provided no facts warranting a change in his narrative reason for separation. The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D. __________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 4 November 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. 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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion. Therefore, we find no basis to favorably consider 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application BC-2011-01901 in Executive Session on 12 January 2011, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Vice Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
