RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02251
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2Q (Personnel medically retired or
discharged) be changed to allow him to return to active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged for medical reasons. He has had ample time to
improve his health. He has had four years to ensure his physical
well being and capability.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a medical note
extracted from his military medical records.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 Feb 06, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
While in basic military training (BMT), the applicant sought
treatment for right shin pain. He was treated with nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, taken out of training and placed on
medical hold. He was reassessed on 14 Mar 06 with no improvement
in pain.
On 15 Jun 06, he underwent a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB). The
MEB diagnosed him with stress fracture right tibia and referred
him to the Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB). On
23 Jun 06, the IPEB recommended discharge for a condition that
existed prior to service.
On 30 Jun 06, he was discharged with an uncharacterized entry
level separation, with an RE code of 2Q. He served five months
of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPD recommends denial. DPPD states the evidence reflects
no error or injustice occurred during the disability process or
at the time of separation, and the applicant received the
appropriate RE code for an individual who is approved for a
medical separation or retirement. DPPD further notes he can seek
a waiver to his medical condition or submit new medical clearance
reports when applying for enlistment.
The complete AFPC/DPPD evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants
current medical status has no affect on his RE code. DPSOA
further notes that if he is otherwise eligible for reentry, a
waiver by the Recruiting Services would be more appropriate than
changing his RE code from the correct code.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 1 Oct 10, for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility
and adopt their rationale as the basis for our decision that the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence of either 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 is 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.
