             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2002-03647
            INDEX NUMBER:  145.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His narrative reason for discharge be changed from secretarial authority  to
a medical/disability  discharge  or  medical  condition  existing  prior  to
service discharge.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 1 July 2003,  the  Board  considered  this  application  and  recommended
invitational travel orders be issued to the applicant  for  the  purpose  of
undergoing a physical examination  and  review  by  the  Medical  Evaluation
Board (MEB), and the  Physical  Evaluation  Board  (PEB)  to  determine  his
medical condition as of 8 February  2000,  and,  that  the  results  of  the
evaluation be forwarded to the  Board  so  that  necessary  and  appropriate
actions may be completed.  See the Record of Proceedings,  with  attachments
at Exhibit G.

The applicant was issued invitational travel orders and scheduled for a  MEB
on 7 November 2003, and did not show for the appointment.  He was  scheduled
again on 27 February 2004, and again he did not show  for  the  appointment.
On 5 March 2004, AFPC/DPPD returned the case without  action  based  on  the
applicant being a no-show for the second appointment.  The DPPD  evaluation,
with attachments, is at Exhibit H.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In an earlier determination, the Board granted  the  applicant  invitational
orders to undergo a physical examination  by  a  Medical  Evaluation  Board.
The Board opined that in  view  of  the  applicant’s  medical  problems,  he
should be afforded a full MEB to determine if he should have been  processed
through disability channels instead of a discharge.  However, the  applicant
failed on two occasions to avail himself for the physical  examination.   In
view of the above,  and  in  the  absence  of  persuasive  evidence  to  the
contrary, 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 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.
