RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00670
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE) 2Q (approved medical retirement or
separation) be changed to allow him to reenter the Armed
Services.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told he was separated for failure to precondition and
that he would be allowed to rejoin at a later date. He later
found out that he was separated due to a disability that existed
prior to service. The disability was Grade III left tibial
stress fracture that definitely did not exist prior to his
enlistment.
He was in the medical hold squadron for 6 weeks due to his
injury. He was okay with them claiming that it was a failure to
condition, but now he knows that they claim it was pre-existing
and he feels like he was taken advantage of. He was vulnerable
and would do whatever it took to go home.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides documentation
from his master personnel record.
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 1 August 2006 through 9 November 2006. A Medical
Evaluation Board referred him to an Informal Physical Evaluation
Board (IPEB) after he presented to the medical clinic for ankle
and calf pain. During week 5 of basic training, he was
diagnosed with left tibial stress fracture and stress changes in
bilateral feet.
The IPEB found him unfit and recommended he be discharged under
the provisions of Chapter 61, Title 10, U.S.C. On 6 November
2006, the Secretary of the Air Force directed the applicant be
separated from the service for physical disability due to a
condition that existed prior to service. He received an entry
level separation and his service was uncharacterized. His
reentry code was listed as 2Q. He was credited with serving
3 months and 5 days of active service.
________________________________________________________________
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 discharge 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 and noted that his
current medical status has no effect on his RE code.
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 29 April 2011, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has received
no 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 an 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, 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.
