RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01546
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with
an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be corrected.
2. Her narrative reason for separation of Erroneous Enlistment
be corrected.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was honorably discharged for failing an asthma test. She was
not aware she suffered with asthma prior to her enlistment.
She would like to enlist in the Navy Reserve; however, she was
informed that she cannot enlist due to her narrative reason and
RE code. An asthma specialist has determined that her lungs are
healthy and an illness caused a false positive in the original
asthma test.
In support of her request, the applicant submits copies of her DD
Form 149, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, a
SF 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care, a letter from an
allergy and asthma specialist and Spirometry report.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 30 Aug 05, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 30 Jan 06, a staff physician and physician assistant
recommended the applicant be administratively separated for a
disqualifying physical condition; specifically, Bronchial Asthma.
On 4 Apr 06, she was notified by her commander that he was
recommending her discharge for Erroneous Enlistment. A legal
review by the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) found the case legally
sufficient and the SJA recommended her separation from the
service with an honorable character of service. On 16 Apr 06,
the discharge authority approved the recommended discharge.
The applicant was discharged on 20 Apr 06. She served 7 months
and 21 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant
should not have been allowed to join the Air Force because of her
medical condition. DPSOS notes had the Air Force known of the
applicants condition at the time of her enlistment, she would
have been denied entry in military service. The applicant denies
prior knowledge of her condition; nevertheless, her condition
does not meet assessment standards.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change her RE code. DPSOA states the applicants RE code of 2C
is not determined by her reason for separation; however, it is
required based on her involuntary discharge with an honorable
character of service.
The complete 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 9 Sep 11, for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicants 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.
