RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00765
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Re-entry (RE) code of 2Q (Approved Medical Retirement or
Separation) be changed to allow him to return to service.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His injury has been rehabilitated. He was evaluated by his
family physician and has been found capable to serve under the
physical fitness and conditioning standards of the military.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a letter from
his doctor, a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, a copy of AF Form 77 Letter of
Evaluation dated 5 March 2004 describing duties performed while
deployed, copies of AF Form 422, Physical Profile Serial Report,
and other supporting documentation from his military personnel
record (MPR).
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________ ______________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 23 April
2002. He received a disability discharge with severance pay and
an honorable characterization of service on 9 May 2005. He was
credited with serving 3 years and 17 days of active duty
service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application
extracted from the applicants military personnel records are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate Air Force
offices of primary responsibility (Exhibit C and D). Accordingly
there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of
Proceedings.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states, the Informal Physical
Evaluation Board (IPEB) reviewed the applicants medical board
on 23 March 2005 for diagnosis of chronic left ankle pain. The
IPEB recommended discharge with severance pay with a disability
rating of 10%. The applicant concurred with the findings. The
preponderance of evidence reflects that no error or injustice
occurred during the disability process.
The complete AFPC/DPSD evaluation is at exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states, the applicants RE
code 2Q is correct per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United
States Air Force, chapter 3, 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 does not
have an effect on his RE code.
The complete AFPC/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 27 May 2011 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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 applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
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.
