COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive a medical retirement from the Air Force Reserve
rather than being discharged.

RESUME OF CASE:
On 24 Jan 12, the Board for Corrections of Military Records
(BCMR) considered and denied the applicants request to be
medically retired. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the applicants discharge; and, the
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record
of Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit I (with Exhibits A and H).
By letter, dated 6 Feb 12, the applicant submitted a request for
reconsideration. The applicant states the Air Force Reserves
failed to refer him to the Disability Evaluation System (DES)
and failed to inform him of his rights. The fact that the law
was not followed, he did not know of his rights before being
forced out of the Reserves.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides personal
statements, a copy of a Medical Examination for Voluntary
Separation or Retirement letter, and paperwork from the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit J.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined that there was
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in
support of his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in
our previous decision. Therefore, in view of the above, and in
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon
which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicants
request.
________________________________________________________________
_
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the additional 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.

The applicant did not have an MSD at the time he was in the Honorary Retired Reserve; he will retire with 26 years, 8 months, and 11 days of satisfactory service. If that period is counted as part of his 28 years of commissioned service in establishing his MSD, as it currently is, it denies him the opportunity to actually perform 28 years of service, since he was not permitted to serve for pay or points during the one year, one month, and four day period as an honorary retiree.
