RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-02780 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His narrative reason for discharge “For the Good of the Service” 
be changed to “Medical Discharge.” 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

RESUME OF CASE: 

 

The applicant submitted a similar request dated 11 Jun 08. On 
17 Jun 09, the Board considered and denied his request. The 
Board agreed with the opinion and rationale provided by the BCMR 
Medical Consultant which stated although the applicant had one 
or more medical conditions (a knee ailment and 
pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) during his military service, it 
was his failure to obey a lawful order, and not the medical 
condition(s) itself that resulted in his discharge. 
Additionally, although the Department of Veterans Affairs 
appeared to have rendered the applicant service-connection and a 
disability rating award for his PFB, the condition is not 
considered a disability by the Military Disability Evaluation 
System. Further, his PFB had little or no impact upon his 
ability to perform his military duties (Exhibit F). 

 

The applicant was honorably discharged from military service for 
the Good of the Service on 22 Nov 77. He had served 1 year, 10 
months and 1 day on active duty. 

 

 

In his application dated 30 Apr 11, the applicant seeks redress 
of his earlier request. In support of his request, he submits 
his personal statement and copies of his health summaries 
(Exhibit G).

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

After careful consideration of the applicant’s reconsideration 
request and the documentation submitted in support of his 
appeal, we are not persuaded to override the Board's original 
decision. The applicant’s contentions are duly noted, however, 
the Board finds no impropriety in the characterization of the 
applicant’s discharge. In addition, although the documentation 
submitted by the applicant is new, it is not relevant and does 
not meet the criteria for reconsideration. Reconsideration is 
authorized only where newly discovered relevant evidence is 
presented which was not reasonably available when the 
application was originally submitted; therefore, reconsideration 
of his request denied. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 CRSC program is designed to provide compensation for combat- related injuries. The available evidence of record does not support a finding that the service- connected medical conditions the applicant believes are combat- related were incurred as the direct result of armed conflict, while engaged in hazardous service, in the performance of duty under conditions simulating war, or through an instrumentality of war; and, therefore, does not qualify for compensation under the CRSC Act. ...
