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


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-01515

      XXXXXXXXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED: No

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In  his  request  for  reconsideration,  applicant  requests  that  his
Reenlistment  Eligibility   (RE)  Code  of  “2Q”  “Personnel  medically
retired or discharged” be changed to one that would allow  his  reentry
into the Air Force.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He does not have the medically disqualifying condition of  Polymorphous
Light Eruption.  In  support  of  his  contention,  the  applicant  has
provided  letters  from  three  health  care  professionals  who   have
determined that he does not presently have Polymorphous Light  Eruption
and did not have the disease at the time of his discharge from the  Air
Force.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit H.

_______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 16 Jan 03, the  AFBCMR  considered  and  denied  the  above  request
(Exhibit G).
_______________________________________________________________

ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the BCMR Medical  Consultant  provided
an additional Air  Force  evaluation.   He  recommends  denial  of  the
applicant’s request.  Although the cause of the  applicant’s  excessive
sensitivity to sunlight is not agreed upon by different dermatologists,
the undisputed fact remains that the  applicant  demonstrated  abnormal
sensitivity  to  the  sun  that  prevented  him   from   satisfactorily
performing his duties for a prolonged period of time and thus  rendered
him unfit for continued military duty.  The statement provided  by  the
applicant from the Physician’s Assistant points out that  the  sun  was
very intense at the location that the applicant was assigned.  However,
the applicant must be able to accept assignments in any climate.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit I.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the additional Air Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant on 25 Sep 03 for review and comment within       30 days.  To
date, a response has not been received.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of error or injustice.  After again  reviewing  the  complete
evidence of record, the majority of the Board agrees with  the  opinion
and recommendation of the  BCMR  Medical  Consultant  and  accepts  his
rationale as the basis for their conclusion that the applicant has  not
been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, the majority of the Board finds no compelling
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

A majority of  the  Board  finds  insufficient  evidence  of  error  or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.

________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered Docket Number 02-01515 in

MEMORANDUM FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AIR FORCE BOARD
                                  FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
(AFBCMR)

SUBJECT:  AFBCMR Application of XXXXXXXXX, XXX-XX-XXXX

      I have carefully reviewed the evidence of record and the
recommendation of the Board members.  A majority found that applicant
had not provided sufficient evidence of error or injustice and
recommended the case be denied.  I concur with that finding and their
conclusion that relief is not warranted.  Accordingly, I accept their
recommendation that the application be denied.

      Please advise the applicant accordingly.
