RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01571
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment (RE) code of 4C (Separated for concealment of
juvenile records, minority, failure to meet physical standards
for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as
measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test, or void
enlistments) be changed to a code that would allow him to reenter
military service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While at Basic Military Training (BMT) he was falsely diagnosed
with Cholinergic Urticaria (Hives). Since leaving military
service he has seen civilian doctors and has documentation
showing he does not have Cholinergic Urticaria.
In support of his appeal, applicant provides copies of documents
extracted from his military and civilian medical records.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 3 Feb 09, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 2 Mar 09, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for Erroneous
Enlistment. The specific reason for the discharge action was the
medical narrative summary, dated 17 Feb 09, which reflected the
applicant did not meet the minimum medical standards to enlist.
The applicant should not have been allowed to enlist due his
having Cholinergic Urticaria.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification and waived
his right to consult with legal counsel or to submit a statement
in his own behalf.
The legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient to support separation and recommended the applicant be
furnished an entry-level separation.
The discharge authority directed the applicant be furnished an
entry-level separation with uncharacterized service. He was
discharged on 4 Mar 09. He was credited with one month and two
days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial noting the applicant knew of his
history with the medical condition and did not disclose it. The
applicants separation was processed in accordance with
established policy and administrative procedures. His medical
condition renders him unsuitable for continued military service
at the time of separation and to this day.
The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
upgrade his RE code to a code that would allow him to reenter
military service. DPSOA notes the applicant received an
erroneous RE code of 4C. The correct RE code is 2C
(Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-
level separation without characterization of service). The RE
code 2C is required based on the applicant receiving an entry-
level separation with uncharacterized service. The applicants
DD Form 214 will be administratively corrected to reflect the
correct RE code 2C unless otherwise directed by the Board.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 29 Jul 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. The evidence of
record indicates the applicant was given an entry-level
separation for failing medical/physical procurement standards
based on his Cholinergic Urticaria. Because he was within his
first 180 days of active service, he was given an entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service. We find no evidence
which would lead us to believe that his entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service was improper or contrary to the
governing instruction under which it was effected. In
conjunction with his entry-level separation, we note the
applicant should have been issued an RE code of 2C. However, he
was erroneously given an RE code of 4C. We have been advised
that his records will be corrected administratively by the office
of primary responsibility (OPR) to reflect the appropriate RE
code of 2C. Therefore, in view of the above, we find no basis to
recommend any corrections to his record beyond that which will be
administratively resolved.
