RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03996
INDEX CODE: 112.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code of “4C” - Failed Medical/Physical Procurement Standards,
be changed to a code that would allow him to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He desires to reenlist. He has a medical waiver proving he does not have
asthma.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of a Waiver and
Determination Report and documentation extracted from his military
personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to documentation provided by the applicant, he enlisted in the
Untied Stated Marine Corps on 13 February 2006 and was discharged on 11
April 2006 for a "condition, not a disability."
On 1 February 2007, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserve (AFRes) and
entered active duty on 30 July 2007. On 27 August 2007, he was separated
from the Air Force for "failing medical/physical procurement standards."
He received a reentry code of 4C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/A1E recommends denial. A1E states the applicant’s reentry code
reflects he "failed medical/physical procurement standards” for entry into
the armed forces, specifically the Air Force or AFRes. However, this
reentry does not preclude the applicant from reentering the Air Force or
AFRes, if in fact he meets the entry requirements at the time of his
application, i.e., the applicant must meet all the physical, mental,
aptitude requirements, etc required for enlistment into the Air Force or
AFRes at the time of application. Thus, per consultation with AFRC/RS, it
is suggested that if the applicant still has an interest in the armed
forces of the United States, and he feels that he meets the applicable
standards for entry; he should contact the armed service recruiter of his
choice and make application for their determination of his ability to
serve.
AFRC/A1E’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 8 February 2008, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C). 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 an injustice. After a thorough review of 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
reentry code assigned was proper and in compliance with the appropriate
directives. The applicant has not provided any evidence which shows he has
been barred from entering any branch of service based upon the 4C reentry
code. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 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. 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.
