RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02590
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 4C (Separated for concealment of juvenile
records, minority, failure to meet physical standards for
enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as
measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test, or void
enlistments) be changed to allow him to reenter the Air Force.
______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on
10 Mar 11. The Board determined the evidence provided by the
applicant was insufficient to warrant correcting his RE code to
one that would allow him to reenlist. For an accounting of the
facts and circumstances surrounding his request, and the
rationale for the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record
of Proceedings, with attachments, at Exhibit G.
During the processing of the applicants original case before the
Board, the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR)
determined the RE code issued to the applicant in conjunction
with his entry-level separation was erroneous as he should have
been issued an RE code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge, or entry-level separation without
characterization of service) and his record was corrected
administratively on 26 Oct 11 (Exhibit H).
By virtue of a DD Form 149 dated 13 Sep 11, with attachments, the
applicant requests reconsideration of his request to have his RE
code changed so that he may reenlist. He recently had a
pulmonary function test (PFT) which indicated that he may have
been misdiagnosed with asthma while he was in the Air Force.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit I.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The AFBCMR Medical Consultant recommends denial noting the
applicant does not meet standards for retention in the Air Force.
Although the applicant believes he was misdiagnosed with asthma
while in the Air Force based on his recent successful completion
of a PFT, it did not include a methacholine challenge test, which
simulates an asthma attack in susceptible individuals. While at
basic military training was administered a PFT with methacholine
challenge which he failed, revealing the presence of reactive
airway disease which is disqualifying for military service.
A complete copy of the AFBCMR Medical Consultant evaluation is at
Exhibit J.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the AFBCMR Medical Consultants evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant on 21 Jun 12 for review and comment
within 30 days (Exhibit K). As of this date, no response has
been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action to change
the applicants RE code to allow him reentry into military
service. However, it was determined the applicant did receive an
erroneous RE code at the time of discharge, and his record was
administratively corrected to reflect an RE code of 2C, based on
him receiving an entry-level separation. After thoroughly
reviewing the additional documentation submitted in support of
this appeal, the AFBCMR Medical Consultants evaluation, and the
evidence of record, we do not believe the applicant has overcome
the rationale expressed in the Boards previous decision.
Therefore, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable
consideration of the applicant's request.
_______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.

VASRD §4.97 rating criteria for asthma are based on the number and severity of clinical exacerbations; the type and the frequency of medications used to treat the condition; and PFT values for FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio. It is noted that the VA subsumed any asthma rating in the overall OSA rating, although the VA rating decision stated “the examiner did not note any compensable level of disability due to your mild persistent asthma.” After considerable deliberation, members agreed [member...
