ADDENDUM
                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-00029-2
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  15 APRIL 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code of “2Q” be changed so he  may  enlist
in the military.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 16 May 2005, the, applicant was  honorably  discharged  for  “Disability,
Existed Prior to Service - PEB” with an RE code of 2Q, “Personnel  medically
retired or discharged.”  He had served 1 year,  3  months  and  26  days  on
active duty.

On  15  March  2007,  the  Board  considered  the  applicant’s  request  and
determined that the  applicant  should  be  medically  evaluated  before  it
rendered a decision regarding the applicant’s request.  The Board  therefore
directed that the applicant be issued invitational travel orders to  Wilford
Hall Medical Center for the purpose of undergoing a physical examination  to
determine his fitness  for  reentry  into  military  service  and  that  the
results be forwarded to the Board for a final determination on his request.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The BCMR Medical Consultant recommends a change  in  the  records  to  allow
reenlistment.  The BCMR Medical Consultant states  that  evidence  presented
in the recent pulmonary consultation indicates that the  original  diagnosis
of  asthma  may  have  been  overstated  and  the  applicant’s   concomitant
infectious process  temporarily  interfered  with  his  ability  to  perform
appropriately on bronchoprovocation testing.  The BCMR Medical  Consultant’s
complete evaluation is at Exhibit F.
_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 14  Aug
07 for his review and comment within 30 days.  As of
this date, this office has received no response.

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After receiving the results of the  applicant’s  physical  examination,  the
Board believes the applicant’s RE code and narrative reason  for  separation
should be changed to allow him to apply for reentry into  military  service.
The relief the Board recommends will in no way guarantee the applicant  will
be accepted for military service, only that he will  not  be  excluded  from
applying.  This recommendation also does not  mean  the  previous  discharge
action was in error or constituted an injustice  at  the  time.   Since  the
applicant is now considered fit for military service, the Board believes  he
should be afforded the opportunity to seek reentry  into  military  service.
Therefore, the Board recommends the  applicant’s  records  be  corrected  as
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 on 16 May 2005,  he  was  discharged
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 by reason  of  “Secretarial  Authority,”
with a Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “3K.”
