RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03674 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

The top three blocks on his AF IMT 2030, USAF Drug and Alcohol 
Abuse Certificate, Section II, Certification at Time of 
Application, be changed to read “Yes.” 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

During his entry into the Air Force, he openly admitted to 
experimenting with marijuana. However, the top three blocks of 
Section II of the AF IMT 2030 were incorrectly marked “No.” His 
recruiter informed him he had all the correct information listed 
on the document. That is why his signature is on the AF IMT 
2030 stating it was truthful and correct. He only recently 
discovered this error when pulling his original security 
clearance paperwork to prepare his retention paperwork for his 
Air Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI) Detachment. 
His AFOSI Detachment, his First Sergeant, and his Squadron 
Commander are all aware of the error. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant currently serves in the Regular Air Force (RegAF) 
in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5). 

 

On 31 Jul 01, during his initial enlistment process, the 
applicant also signed his SF 86, Questionnaire for National 
Security Position, on which he had checked Item 24a denying 
prior marijuana use. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility which is included at Exhibits C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence 
of an error or injustice. The member’s AF Form 2030 on record 
contains the member’s initials under the “No” column for all of 
the top three blocks of Section II where the applicant had the 
opportunity to disclose prior use of marijuana. The form was 
completed on 27 Jun 01, and recertified by the applicant and an 
Air Force Liaison at the Military Entrance Processing Station 
(MEPS) on the day he entered active duty on 16 Oct 01. During 
the enlistment process, the applicant had two more opportunities 
to disclose previous use of marijuana: 1) while completing the 
SF 86, Questionnaire for National Security Position, Item 24, 
dated 30 Jul 01; and 2) during his physical exam at MEPS on 
31 Jul 01 via the DD Form 2897-1, Report of Medical History, 
pages 3 and 4. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE 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 17 Sep 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(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 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 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.
