AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends approval. SGPS states a review of his
records and the documentation submitted supports changing the RE
code to allow reentry into military service; however, this does
not constitute a medical waiver. The applicant will have to
undergo an entrance physical at the military entrance processing
station.
The AETC/SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

31 Jul 09 for review and comments within 30 days. As of this

ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The AFBCMR Medical Consultant concurs with the findings of
AETC/SGPS to change the applicants RE code to allow him the
opportunity to apply for re-entry into military service. The
Medical Consultant states the applicant has provided sufficient
documentation of treatment and recovery to support a change in
his separation code.

A copy of the additional Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant 28 Oct 09 for review and comments within 30 days.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. After reviewing the
evidence of record, we concur with the findings and
recommendations of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and the AFBCMR Medical Consultant that the applicant has provided
sufficient documentation showing treatment and full recovery of
his injury, which warrants a change in the applicants RE code to
allow him to apply for reentry to military service. Whether or
not he is successful will depend on the needs of the service and
our recommendation in no way guarantees that he will be allowed
to return to military service. Therefore, we recommend his
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of
his discharge on 23 February 2008, he was issued a Reentry (RE)
Code of 3K.
