RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-04086
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to show that all appropriate dental work was
not completed within 90 days prior to his separation.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His dental examination was not completed.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submitted a DD Form 149,
Applicant for Correction of Military Record.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was honorably retired on 30 September 2002 after 20 years, 2
months, and 17 days of total active duty service. During his service
on active duty, he was progressively promoted to the grade of master
sergeant.
Review of the dental record shows that a dentist examined the
applicant on 16 July 2002, 75 days prior to his retirement. The
dentist indicated he was a dental class I (normal, not requiring
further treatment) after prophylactic treatment (cleaning by dental
hygienist). The applicant received his treatment by the dental
hygienist on 16 July 2002 and his dental class was recorded as Class I
(no further dental treatment required).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The BCMR Medical Consultant reviewed this application and recommended
denial. Dental records reflect that the applicant received a complete
dental examination and all appropriate dental services and treatment
within 90 days prior to separation. Action and disposition in this
case are proper and equitable reflecting compliance with Air Force
directives that implement the law.
BCMR Medical Consultant complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 18 April 2003, for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of
the evidence of record and the applicant's submission, we are not
persuaded that his dental record should be corrected to show dental
care was not completed. The available dental records showed a dentist
examined the applicant on 16 July 2002, 75 days prior to his
retirement and indicated a dental class I, (normal, not requiring
further treatment). Therefore, in the absence of sufficient evidence
to the contrary, we agree with the recommendation of the BCMR Medical
Consultant and adopt his rationale as the basis for our decision that
the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of establishing that he
has suffered either an error or an injustice. Accordingly, we find no
compelling 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 a 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.
