RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00396
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His discharge be changed from an erroneous enlistment to a
medical discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
1. His military entrance examination states he was in good
physical condition and fit for duty; however, it was only after
he entered the Air Force and had served 30 days that it was
determined he had a medical problem with swallowing.
2. The discharge he received insinuates he had a medical problem
prior to entering the military and did not disclose it.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 2808, Report of Medical Examination; DD Form 2807-1, Report of Medical History and a medical procedure report from
his doctor.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 29 Jan 08, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 13 May 08, the applicant was diagnosed with Eosinophilic
Esophagitis, which existed prior to enlistment.
On 16 May 08, the applicant was notified of his commanders
intent to recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFPD 36-32, Air Force Military Training
and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph
5.14. for Erroneous Enlistment. The applicant acknowledged
receipt of the notification of discharge, waived his right to
seek counsel and to submit a statement in his own behalf.
On 19 May 08, the case file was reviewed and determined to be
legally sufficient to support his separation. On 21 May 08, the
discharge authority approved an entry level separation.
On 21 May 08, the applicant was discharged from the Air Force
with an entry level separation, with an uncharacterized
character of service in the grade of airman basic. He served
3 months and 23 days of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states the applicants
separation code was done in accordance with (IAW) established
policy and administrative procedures. Additionally, SGPS states
they do not support the Board changing his reentry (RE) code as
it was appropriate at the time it was assigned.
The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the commander
cited the medical narrative summary, which states the applicant
did not meet minimum medical standards to enlist. In addition,
the military environment is unique and stressors encountered in
such an environment may not appear or surface when removed from
the military environment.
Based on documentation in the applicants master personnel
records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 22 Jul 11, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has not received a
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. 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 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.

On 29 Jan 10, the applicant was notified by his commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. Although both AFPC/DPSOA and DPSOS recommend denial of relief DPSOA does note the applicants RE code is in error, and should be 2C; however, based on the review and recommendation provided by AETC/SGPS we believe his RE code should be changed to 3K, which would afford him the opportunity to apply for enlistment in the armed services.
