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.”
