RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01519
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE) of 4I (Serving on Control Roster) and his
separation code (SPD) of JFT (Physical Standards) be changed to
waiverable codes.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served three years in military service. He performed well and
received awards and honors. He could not pass his physical
fitness tests because of trouble breathing and back pain. He was
diagnosed with allergy induced asthma and scoliosis. A medical
board determined he was fit for service; however, he was
discharged for failing his physical fitness tests.
He would like to be a commissioned officer in the United States
Army; however, his RE and SPD codes prevent him from enlisting.
He received an honorable character of service but his RE code
keeps him from rejoining any branch of service. He feels this is
harsh punishment for someone who cannot control his symptoms.
In the past three years, he has lost 88 pounds and has moved to a
different location. He is in better shape and has no
difficulties with asthma. He would like to participate in the
career he has always dreamed of and hopes for another chance.
In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
his Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs), a listing of the
Munitions Flight 2005 Award Winners, a congratulatory letter, a
DD From 2807-1, Report of Medical History, and the Informal
Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) findings.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 22 Jun 04, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
Between Jul 05 and Dec 07, the applicant received four (4) Record
of Individual Counseling, one (1) Letter of Counseling, and five
(5) Letters of Reprimand (LOR). On 7 Feb 07, his commander
placed him on the Control Roster and an Unsatisfactory
Information File (UIF) was established.
On 7 May 07, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending he be separated from the Air Force under the
provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5-26.6 (Unsatisfactory
Performance). Specifically, the applicant failed to meet Air
Force Physical Fitness Standards by not attaining an overall
passing composite score of 70.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification and
submitted a statement on his own behalf. The discharge authority
approved the recommended discharge without offer of probation and
rehabilitation. On 24 May 07, the applicant was honorably
discharged. He served 2 years, 11 months and 3 days on active
duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states there was no error
or injustice in the processing of the discharge action. Based on
the documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority. In addition, the
applicant did not submit evidence or identify any error or
injustice nor did he provide any facts warranting a change to his
separation code or narrative reason for separation.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit B.
DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request for a
reenlistment eligible RE code.
DPSOA states the applicants RE code of 4I was incorrect and he
should have been issued a RE code of 2C (Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge
). DPSOA states the RE code 2C is
based on the applicants involuntary separation with honorable
character of service.
The applicant will be provided with a corrected copy of his DD
Form 214 with an RE code of 2C unless otherwise directed by the
Board.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 26 Aug 11, 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations
of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that 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.
