AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 
DOCKET NO: 98-00386 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

SEP  1 7  

COUNSEL: None 

HEARING DESIRED: Yes 

Applicant  requests that he be  reinstated in his unit  in the Air 
Force Reserves.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 

The appropriate  Air  Force office evaluated applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion to the Board  recommending the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has,been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient  evidence  of 
error or injustice to warrant  corrective action.  The  facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent  persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The documentation provided with this case was sufficient to give 
the  Board  a  clear  understanding  of  the  issues  involved  and  a 
personal  appearance, with  or  without  legal  counsel, would  not 
have  materially  added  to  that  understanding.  Therefore,  the 
request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation  of  new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members  of  the  Board  Mr.  Henry  C.  Saunders,  Mr.  Joseph  G. 
Diamond, and Ms. Peggy E. Gordon considered this application on 
3 September 1998 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statup'e,  10, U#.C.  1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR DPMB 

FROM:  SGP 

SUBJECT:  Report of Medical Examination 

27 Mar 98 

1.  The member wants to be reinstated to the Reserve program to continue Reserve participation. 
He does not dispute his disqualifying diagnosis of Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus.  He also 
does not provide any documentation which would call into question this diagnosis. 

2.  From a medical standpoint, this individual is still medically disqualified for military duty. 
The new process in place now requires AFRCDPKV to make a “fit” determination on all 
medical disqualification actions.  Because of this new process, this AFBCMR should be 
reviewed and appropriate comments made on whether or not this individual is “fit” for military 
duty. 

3.  For the above reasons we feel DP should respond to this AFBCMR with the SG input that 
subject individual remains medically disqualified because of a diagnosis of Insulin Dependent 
Diabetes Mellitus.
