RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01009
INDEX NUMBER: 110.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed from “2C,”
“Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level
separation without characterization of service,” to one that will
allow his reentry into the US military.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 17 Nov 04, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request
as stated above (Exhibit E). In a DD Form 149, dated 5 Aug 06, the
applicant again requests his RE code be changed to one that will allow
him to reenlist in the Navy (Exhibit F). The applicant contends he
has evidence his back is “fine” and that the x-rays taken while he was
in the Air Force are wrong. In support of his appeal, the applicant
provided copies of x-rays taken after he was out of the Air force.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the BCMR Medical Consultant evaluated
the applicant’s current request. The BCMR Medical Consultant again
recommends denial of the applicant’s request.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits the results of
scoliosis x-ray surveys performed 7 Nov 03 and 10 Dec 03, which were
previously submitted and reviewed. The BCMR Medical Consultant states
that his conclusions and recommendations remain the same as put forth
in the evaluation dated 17 Sep 04.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1
Feb 07 for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response has
not been received.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing the complete evidence of record, 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 presented sufficient new evidence to show he has been the
victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, we do not find a basis to
change our earlier determination to deny the relief requested.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

The reason for the action was the applicant’s Chronological Record of Medical Care, dated 17 Nov 03, which indicated a diagnosis of back pain and Scoliosis. The applicant had a history of back pain existing prior to service he did not reveal at the time of his enlistment medical examination. The applicant accurately notes the Air Force knew about his scoliosis at the time of his enlistment examination; however, the Air Force did not know about the history of back pain he later revealed.

He also notes that his medical condition was aggravated by his service with the Air Force and that his condition had been known prior to his enlistment and determined by military medical authorities not to be severe enough to prevent his entry into the Air Force. He believes this is so because every person when they enlist signs a contract indicating they will be in the same or better condition than prior to service with the military. Applicant states that during his time at Basic Military...

Applicant’s counsel requests copies of all documents by which the Air Force determined that her client gave inadequate notice of her entitlement to the SBP, of which benefits were awarded her (and paid for by her) pursuant to the divorce decree. Apparently the Air Force determined they received adequate notice to pay her client her portion of the court-ordered military retirement benefits, it appears incongruous for the Air Force now to take the position that such notice was inadequate to...

The Air Force Medical Service position, as stated in a letter dated 25 Jun 03, was that testing was not considered disqualifying in and of itself.

There was no evidence in the servicemember’s records to indicate that either the servicemember or the applicant submitted an election to change the SBP coverage from spouse to former spouse. Counsel's complete response is at Exhibit L. _________________________________________________________________ ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION: DFAS-CL/DGM states the applicant relies on the Holt and King cases to support her request for award of an SBP annuity.
