RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00088
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His honorable discharge be changed to a medical discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He suffered a stroke while undergoing an elective surgery in Nov
86. At that time, he was assigned to a Guard unit.
In support of his request, the applicant provides excerpts from
his official military personnel and medical records.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1POE does not provide a recommendation. A1POE states the
applicant was eligible for reenlistment; however, it may be
possible that his unit was not aware of his medical condition.
If they were aware, it is doubtful they would have listed him as
eligible to reenlist. Regrettably, since it has been over
24 years since the applicant was separated, the only record on
the separation is the NGB Form 22, Report of Separation. A1POE
recommends the applicant appeal to the Discharge Review Board
(DRB) if he feels the initial characterization is not justified.
The NGB/A1POE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
A1PS recommends denial. A1PS also states the applicant should
submit a request to change his characterization of service to the
DRB if he believes the initial characterization is not justified.
The A1PS complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responded by stating that his unit was unaware of
his chronic medical struggles. He scheduled his elective
surgeries in Nov 85, Apr 86, and Aug 86, so that he would not
miss his monthly training sessions. However, there was a
complication in Nov 86 where he had a stroke during surgery that
affected his left side.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
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 are not
persuaded on the evidence furnished to grant him a medical
discharge. We note the applicants assertions concerning his
medical struggles in 1985-1986; however, we do not find they are
substantiated by the evidence he provided or the information in
his military personnel records. 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.
