RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-00906
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 25 SEP 08
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation be changed to a medical discharge
rather than erroneous enlistment.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was released from active duty for migraine headaches that the Air Force
claimed must have happened prior to service. He states he has never had
migraine headaches prior to service.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a personal statement, DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, and three
reference letters.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 May 2006 in the grade of
airman basic. He was progressively promoted to the grade of airman first
class having assumed that grade with a date of rank of 16 June 2006. His
primary specialty was Security Forces Helper. On 28 November 2006,
applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to recommend that he
be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI
36-3208, paragraph 5.14. The specific reason for this action was erroneous
enlistment. A Chronological Record of Medical Care form, dated 12
September 2006, stated he was diagnosed with migraines. This condition
existed prior to service and had not been aggravated by service. This
condition had prevented him from completing his military training. Had the
Air Force known this condition would have prevented him from performing
military duties, he would not have been allowed entry into the military.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and acknowledged receipt of the
notification on that same date. The applicant waived his right to consult
counsel and elected not to submit statements on his own behalf. In a legal
review of the case file, the staff judge advocate found the case legally
sufficient and recommended that he be discharged. On 5 December 2006, the
discharge authority concurred with the recommendations and directed that he
be discharged with an honorable discharge, without probation and
rehabilitation. Applicant was discharged on 6 December 2006. He served 7
months and 5 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states based on the documentation on
file in the master personnel records the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. The
discharge was within the discretion of the discharge authority. Applicant
did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the discharge processing. He provided no facts warranting a
change to his narrative reason for separation.
The DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 13 July 2007, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review
and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 an error or injustice warranting a change in the applicant’s
narrative reason for separation. After reviewing the evidence of record
and the applicant’s submission, it is our opinion that given the
circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force, the narrative
reason for separation assigned appears to be proper and in compliance with
the appropriate directives. The applicant has not provided any evidence
which would lead us to believe otherwise. Therefore, we agree with the
office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

The basis for the action was that he intentionally concealed a prior service medical condition.

The AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE recommends the requested relief be approved. DPPAE states based on the applicant’s reason for separation, relief should be granted in recoupment of the unearned portion of his bonus. After a thorough review of the applicant’s military personnel record and documentation provided in support of his appeal, we are not persuaded his SPD code should be changed to one that would not require the recoupment of the unearned portion of his IEB.
