RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02178 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of “2Q” “Personnel medically retired or 
discharged” be changed to allow him to reenlist in the Air Force. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

The record is incorrect because it references “seizure disorder” 
as a disqualifying condition. He did not have that condition 
prior to active duty or since his discharge. He requested a 
blood toxicology test prior to his discharge, but it was refused. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 10 Oct 00, the applicant entered active duty in the Regular 
Air Force. 

 

He was processed through the disability evaluation system for 
complex partial seizures. 

 

On 21 Jun 06 the Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) found 
the applicant unfit for continued service and recommended 
discharge with severance pay with a 20 percent disability rating 
for a diagnosis of partial complex seizures. On 22 Jun 06, the 
applicant concurred with the findings of the IPEB. 

 

On 23 Jun 06, the Secretary of the Air Force determined the 
applicant was physically unfit for continued military service and 
directed his discharge with severance pay effective 25 Aug 06. 

 

On 25 Aug 06, the applicant was honorably discharged with 
severance pay, and was issued an RE code of 2Q, after serving 
5 years, 10 months, and 16 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states the preponderance of 
evidence reflects that no error or injustice occurred during the 
disability process. 2Q is the correct reentry code for a medical 
discharge. 

 

The complete DPSD evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 1 Jul 11, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a 
response has not been received (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
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.
