RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-03147
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: REGINA HEAL
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code be changed from 4C (failed medical/physical
procurement standards) to a 1 series code.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged due to Patella Femur Syndrome (knee pain). He was told
by his physician that he could separate, wait six months or longer and
reenlist. He is ready to return to military service; however, most
services will not waive his RE code of 4C.
In support of his request, the applicant submits his discharge case file
and report of medical history.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 6 Mar 07, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force. On 9 Apr 07,
his commander notified him that he was recommending his discharge from
military service for Erroneous Enlistment. On 10 Apr 07, the discharge
authority approved the recommended separation and directed that he be
discharged with uncharacterized service. The applicant was discharged on
12 Apr 07. He served one month and seven days on active duty.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS notes that the applicant began
experiencing symptoms within the first 10 days of training. Despite
appropriate medical treatment, he indicated he did not wish a medical
review for waiver consideration and was subsequently separated from
service. There is no documentation from any medical provider indicating
treatment, resolution or prognosis for his condition.
SGPS opines that current medical understanding indicates this condition
occurs in certain individuals when exposed to repetitive activities such as
regular running/marching and often improves with periods of rest. SPGS
notes although the applicant’s symptoms probably would not limit his
activities in civilian life, past experience has shown symptoms often recur
with increased use as is the nature of a military lifestyle. SGPS does not
support the applicant’s request as based on the history of this condition
and the high probability of reoccurrence limiting his total effectiveness.
The complete SGPS 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 5 Feb
10, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was time filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. After a thorough review of the evidence
of record, we are not persuaded the applicant’s RE code should be changed
to a waiverable code which would allow him to return to military service.
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 the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no 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.
