RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04753
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reentry code (RE) 4C (separation 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
enlistment ) be changed to allow her to reenlist.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She does not have Angioedema, allergy to bananas, a condition
that disqualifies her from the Air Force. She has medical
documentation as proof.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement, her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty, a medical opinion and a letter of
recommendation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the regular Air Force who
served from 26 August 2009 through 20 October 2009. On
29 September 2009, she was diagnosed with Oral Allergy Syndrome:
Angioedema; a disqualifying condition. On 15 October 2009, she
was notified of her commanders intent to discharge her from the
Air Force for Erroneous Enlistment. She acknowledged her right
to counsel and to submit matters on her behalf: she waived both
rights. On 19 October 2009, the commander approved the
discharge under the provisions AFPD 36-32, Military Separation
and Retirements, and Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administration of Separation of Airman, for Erroneous
Enlistment. The applicant was discharged effective 20 October
2009, with an RE code of 4C. She served 1 month and 26 days on
active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA states the applicants RE code is driven by the entry
level separation and uncharacterized service. The applicants
current RE code 4C is incorrect. The correct RE code is 2C,
(involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without character of service), which is
required per Air Force Instruction, 36-2606, Reenlistments in
the USAF, based on her entry level separation. The applicant
will receive a corrected DD Form 214 unless otherwise directed
by the Board.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends approval. SGPS states the applicant has
been evaluated by an allergist and presents no symptoms or
reaction to bananas. They support allowing her to reenter
military service.
The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 6 May 2011, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice warranting
corrective action. In this respect, DPSOA has opined that the
applicants current RE code of 4C is incorrect and the correct
RE code is 2C. However, a recent medical evaluation submitted
by the applicant indicates she does not present symptoms or
reaction to bananas. AETC/SG has also reviewed this recent
medical documentation and supports the applicants reentry into
military service. We agree with AETC/SG assessment and believe
that correction of her RE code to a waiverable code is warranted
based on the merits of this case. Whether or not she is
successful in her attempts to return to the military will depend
on the needs of the service and our recommendation in no way
guarantees that she will be allowed to return to any branch of
service. Therefore, we recommend that her records be corrected
to the extent indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that at the
time of her discharge on 20 October 2009, she was issued a
reentry code of 3K.
