_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Block 17, be corrected to show that she  was  not  provided
dental treatment within 90 days prior to separation.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When she entered the Army  Orthodontic  program  for  her  braces,  she  had
retainability for  the  dental  work  to  be  completed.   But  due  to  her
Temporary Duty Travel, her braces were removed.  She lost her  retainability
and the dental work was not completed before she separated.

In support of her request, the applicant provides a  personal  statement,  a
copy of her dental record and a copy of her DD Form  214.   The  applicant's
complete submission, with attachments is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was honorably discharged from the Regular  Air  Force  in  the
grade of staff sergeant (E-5) on 12 June 2002 under the  provisions  of  AFI
36-3208 (Interdepartmental Transfer  -  USAFR  -  Palace  Chase).   She  was
credited with nine  years,  five  months  and  eight  days  of  active  duty
service.  Data extracted from the military personnel  data  system  (MilPDS)
reveals that on 13 June 2003, the applicant  became  a  member  of  the  Air
Force Reserve.  MilPDS indicates the applicant’s pay  date  as  28  November
1988 and she is currently serving as a staff sergeant, with a date  of  rank
of 6 May 2000.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted  from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the  letter  prepared  by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The BCMR Medical  Consultant  recommends  the  application  be  denied.   He
states that the applicant  voluntarily  separated  under  the  Palace  Chase
Program before her obligated term of service  expired.   She  was  receiving
elective orthodontic work available at Fort Gordon, GA.   The  BCMR  Medical
Consultant states that the orthodontic memorandum  of  understanding  signed
by the applicant on 9 January 2001, states  that  elective  orthodontics  is
not a required or covered dental service.  Block 17 of her DD Form  214  was
properly marked "yes."

The BCMR Medical Consultant’s evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 19 December 2003, a copy of the Air Force  evaluation  was  sent  to  the
applicant for review  and  comment.   As  of  this  date,  this  office  has
received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

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 error  or  injustice.   We  took   notice  of  the  applicant’s
complete submission in judging the merits of the  case;  however,  we  agree
with the opinion and recommendation  of  the  BCMR  Medical  Consultant  and
adopt his rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the  applicant  has
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence  of
substantial 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 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.
