RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00348
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His separation code JFL (Discharge Disability, Severance Pay)
and his reentry code (RE) 2Q (personnel medically retired or
discharged) be changed to a code that qualifies him to reenter
the service.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The injury he received was not permanent and resolved itself.
He is only 22 years old and should be able to serve his country.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, and a medical opinion.
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 8 August 2006 through 23 January 2007. He was
referred to an Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) for
Chronic Costochondritis. The IPEB recommended the applicant be
discharged with severance pay and a disability rating of 10
percent in accordance with Department of Defense and Veterans
Administrative Schedule for Rating Disabilities guidelines.
On 22 May 2007, the Secretary of the Air Force approved the
recommendation and directed the applicant be medically
discharged under the provisions of Title 10 USC 1203. The
applicant was discharged with an honorable discharge, an RE code
of 2Q (approved medical retirement or separation) and a
separation code of JFL (Discharge Disability, Severance Pay).
He served 10 months and 16 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states the preponderance of
evidence reflects no error or injustice occurred during the
disability process.
The complete DPSD evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA validated the applicants
disability processing. They also confirmed RE code 2Q is
correct per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air
Force, based on his disability discharge. The applicants DD
Form 214 accurately reflects his RE code at the time of
separation and his current medical status has no affect on his
RE code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
His goal since being released was to reenlist in the United
States Air Force. His condition has resolved. He requests that
the Board favorably consider his request.
The applicants complete letter 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We are not
persuaded by the evidence submitted in support of his appeal
that a change to his RE and SPD code is warranted. 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 no error or injustice occurred during the
disability discharge process. Therefore, we find no basis to
favorably consider 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.
