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 applicants reconsideration
request and the documentation submitted in support of his
appeal, we are not persuaded to override the Board's original
decision. The applicants contentions are duly noted, however,
the Board finds no impropriety in the characterization of the
applicants 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. ...
