                                 ADDENDUM TO
                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-03081

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be discharged for disability with entitlement to severance pay, or  that
her name be placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She  should  have  been  processed  through  the  active   duty   Disability
Evaluation System, not the Air National Guard (ANG).

_________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 25 July 2000, the Board considered the application and  found  sufficient
evidence to warrant her reevaluation by a  Medical  Evaluation  Board  (MEB)
and a Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) to determine her medical condition  at
the time of her release from active duty and transfer  to  the  Arizona  ANG
(Exhibit A - D).

On 16 November 2000, an MEB convened and recommended she be referred  to  an
Informal PEB (IPEB).

The IPEB convened on 1 December 2000 and  recommended  she  be  returned  to
duty.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, USAF Physical Disability  Division,  AFPC/DPPD,  states  that  in
accordance with DODI 1332.38, Part I,  Paragraph  C3a(2),  active  duty  and
Ready Reserve members determined fit do not have an entitlement to a  formal
PEB since a finding  of  fit  does  not  cause  involuntary  separation  for
physical disability.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  the  applicant
on 26 December 2000, for review and response.  As of this date, no  response
has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice.  In this  respect,  we  note  that
the Board previously determined the applicant should have met an MEB  as  an
active duty member.  In view of this, and to preclude any injustice  to  the
applicant, the Board recommended she be reevaluated by an MEB and PEB for  a
determination as to her medical condition at the time of  her  release  from
active duty and transfer to the ANG.  This reevaluation has  been  completed
and the IPEB has recommended she be returned to  duty.   Therefore,  in  the
absence of evidence that she was unfit at  the  time  of  her  release  from
active duty, we find no compelling basis to recommend  granting  the  relief
sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the additional  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of probable 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.

_________________________________________________________________
