AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 03-02302
INDEX CODE:124.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
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.
