 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03581 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be entitled to medical continuation (MEDCON) on active duty 
from 13 Jun – 29 Jul 11. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was unjustly released from active duty on 12 Jun 11, because 
his medical profile changes were not timely processed. He 
should have remained on active duty until 29 Jul 11. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of 
AF Forms 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, dated 28 Mar 11 
and 28 Jun 11, AF Form 422, Notification or Air Force Member’s 
Qualification Status, dated 2 Aug 11. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was on a medical continuation order for the period 
19 Nov 10 – 12 Jun 11. On 28 Jun 11, his medical provider 
recommended he be medically continued on active duty until 
2 Aug 11. On 2 Aug 11, the applicant’s AF Form 422, reflects he 
was “Returned to duty with waiver expiring 31 Jul 14.” 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1PS concurs with the subject matter expert’s (SME) 
recommendation for partial relief. Based on the evaluation by 
the SME, they noted that the Air Force Medical Operations Agency 
(AFMOA/SGHI) declined MEDCON for this period as the applicant's 
profile had expired and his servicing Wing did not provide 
updated documentation in the MEDCON request. AFMOA stated in 
its 11 Aug 11 email to the NGB/SG that the applicant is 
"possibly entitled to MEDCON for the period 28 June 11 to 


2 Aug 11 but will have to process his request through the BCMR 
program," based on the available documentation. 

 

The complete NGB/A1PS evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 30 Sep 11 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting 
partial corrective action. The Air Force office of primary 
responsibility has adequately addressed the issues presented by 
the applicant and we are in agreement with their opinion and 
recommendation. In addition, while we note the applicant 
believes his orders should have started on 13 Jun 11 rather than 
28 Jun 11, there is no documentation to show he was unable to 
perform his military duties following his initial release from 
active duty, until he was placed in a duty limiting status 
(AF Form 469) on 28 Jun 11. Accordingly, we agree with the 
opinion and recommendation of the NGB OPR that the applicant 
should have been placed on medical continuation orders from 
28 Jun 11 to 2 Aug 11, the date it was determined the applicant 
should be returned to duty. Therefore, we recommend his record 
be corrected to the extent indicated below. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he was 
placed on extended active duty for the period 28 June 2011 until 
his release from active duty on 2 August 2011.

Number BC-2011-03581 in Executive Session on 31 May 2012, under
