AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00019
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation, Fraudulent Entry Into
Military Service, be removed from her DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She never had surgery prior to her enlistment.
In support of the applicant’s appeal, she provides a copy of her
DD Form 214.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 29 August
2011.
The applicant was notified by her commander of his intent to
recommend that she be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The specific reason
was she intentionally concealed a prior to service medical
condition, which if revealed, could have resulted in rejection of
her enlistment. The Air Force discovered she had patellofemoral
syndrome. This medical condition could have rendered her
ineligible to enlist in the Air Force.
She was advised of her rights in this matter and elected not to
consult with counsel and not to submit a statement on her own
behalf. The discharge authority concurred with the
recommendation and directed an entry level separation. The
applicant was discharged on 6 October 2011.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant
intentionally withheld a medical condition. Specifically, the
applicant had a history of patellofemoral syndrome which she
failed to disclose on her pre-enlistment documents. Based upon
the applicant’s failure to disclose her prior service medical
condition, her commander recommended discharge from the Air Force
for fraudulent entry with an entry level separation. The
applicant states she started having knee problems about two years
ago after injuring herself during track practice. The applicant
also states she did not disclose her condition to MEPS because
she thought she would be able to complete training. Therefore,
by the applicant’s own admission, the fraudulent enlistment was
the correct basis for discharge.
The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 27 March 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we agree with
the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt its 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:
2
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
