                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2005-03332
            INDEX CODE:  124.00

      XXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  4 AUG 2008


___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or  Discharge  from  Active
Duty, dated 31 Aug 05, Item 17, be  changed  to  “No”  rather  than
“Yes.”

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His out-processing paperwork reflects that he was  not  provided  a
complete dental examination and  all  appropriate  dental  services
within 90 days prior to separation.

In support of  his  appeal,  applicant  submitted  a  copy  of  his
DD Form 214  and  his  Veterans  Outpatient  Dental  Treatment  for
Discharged or Released Personnel Memorandum.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant entered active duty on  28  Apr  83  and  had  continuous
honorable service until his retirement effective 1 Sep 05.  He  was
progressively promoted to the  rank  of  master  sergeant  with  an
effective date and date of rank of 1 Oct 98.  He was credited  with
22 years, 4 months, and 3 days of active duty service.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The  BCMR  Medical  Consultant  reviewed   this   application   and
recommended denial.  Submitted dental  records  ending  six  months
before retirement indicate the applicant was a dental  class  1  at
that time (no pathologic oral conditions exist and no treatment was
required).  The memorandum present  in  the  applicant’s  personnel
file indicates that an examination  and  appropriate  services  and
treatment were accomplished  within  90  days  of  retirement.   It
appears  the  memorandum  in  the  personnel  file  was   initially
certified that the applicant had not received appropriate  services
but was  subsequently  revised  by  the  certifying  official  that
appropriate  services  and  treatment   were   accomplished.    The
preponderance of evidence and review of the  case  with  Air  Force
dental authorities indicates that action and  disposition  in  this
case are proper and equitable reflecting compliance with Air  Force
directives that implement the law.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  the  applicant
on 28 Dec 06 for review and comment within 30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to  demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice warranting a correction to  the
record.  The applicant requests his DD Form 214, dated 31  Aug  05,
in Item 17 be changed to reflect “No” rather than “Yes.”  The Board
noted  the  opinion  and  recommendation  of  the  AFBCMR   Medical
Consultant,  and  that  the  Veterans  Outpatient   Treatment   for
Discharged or Released  Personnel  Memorandum  in  the  applicant’s
dental record  had  been  signed  and  subsequently  revised,  then
initialed  by  the  certifying  official   indicating   appropriate
examination,    services,    and    treatment    were     provided.
Notwithstanding the above, the evidence of record clearly  reflects
that the memorandum was undated and appears to show  no  indication
of when the revision was accomplished.  Therefore, to preclude  any
possibility of an injustice to  the  applicant,  we  recommend  the
applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his DD  Form  214,
dated 31 Aug 05, be corrected to reflect in  Item  17,  Member  was
provided complete dental examination  and  all  appropriate  dental
services and treatment within 90 days  prior  to  separation,  “NO”
rather than “Yes.”
