RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01732
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 DEC 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow him to
reenlist into the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes the RE code is unjust and he is competent enough to serve
in the Armed Forces.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
21 November 2006. On 11 December 2006, he was referred to the
Informal Physical Disability Board (IPEB), for Axis I Psychosis,
(Existed Prior to Service), without service aggravation. The IPEB
found his condition existed prior to service, was not permanently
aggravated through military service, and was incompatible with the
rigors of military service. On 12 December 2006, the Secretary of the
Air Force Personnel Council directed that he be separated from the Air
Force for physical disability due to a condition that existed prior to
service.
On 18 December 2006, he was discharged with an uncharacterized entry-
level separation, under the provisions of AFI 36-3212, Physical
Evaluation for Retention, Retirement, and Separation, (Disability
Existed Prior to Service – Physical Evaluation Board). He received an
RE code of 2Q “Personnel Medically Retired or Discharged.” He served
28 days total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPD recommends denial. DPPD states the preponderance of
evidence reflects that no error or injustice occurred during the
disability process at the time of separation.
The DPPD 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
27 Jul 07, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 to warrant changing the
applicant’s reenlistment eligibility (RE) code. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case,
however; we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air
Force 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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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 BCMR Medical Consultant states the applicant contends he did not experience depression prior to entering the service, but the only medical documentation available for review clearly reports a history of depressive symptoms for several years prior to entering military service. While the episode of depression leading to discharge began while on active duty, the reported pre-service history of depressive symptoms is consistent with recurrent depressive disorder and is reinforced by the...

The fact that a person may have a medical condition does not mean that the condition is unfitting for continued military service. In the medical Consultant’s view, the preponderance of evidence of the record shows that the applicant’s scoliosis condition existed prior to service, and that her back pain was the natural progression of the condition. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations...

Records reflect that based on the applicant’s condition of Chronic Constipation and Abdominal Pain, a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) convened to consider her case. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that her discharge prior to the final disposition of her medical case was of such severity to warrant her general discharge being set aside. The applicant points to the Disability Operations Branch (AFPC/DPPD) letter advising...
