AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00793
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her entry-level separation be changed to a medical general
discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She believes her separation should be stated as a medical general
discharge.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
Her complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 1 Feb 06.
The applicant was notified by her commander that he was
recommending her for discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section C,
Defective Enlistments. The specific reason for this action was
for not meeting minimum medical standards to enlist because of
having intermittent asthma. After a legal review, the case was
found to be legally sufficient. The applicant acknowledged
receipt of the discharge notification and waived her rights to
consult counsel and submit statements in her own behalf. The
applicant received an entry-level discharge on 8 Mar 06 after
serving 1 month and 8 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends denial. After a review of the
applicant’s records and medical notes, SGPS found she checked
“No”, on the history of asthma, shortness of breath, wheezing,

and use of an inhaler; however, she admitted to having asthma
symptoms and was treated with inhalers. After being seen at the
clinic, she was prescribed an inhaler to use as needed. She
received a methacholine challenge test which revealed a 29
percent decrease in FEV-1, which reversed when administered a
bronchodilator. Demonstrating an airway obstruction, which is
disqualifying for military service, she was subsequently
processed for an entry-level separation.
It is noted that the applicant withheld her childhood history of
asthma and treatment when she entered the Air Force. The fact
that she had this history prior to attending Basic Military
Training (BMT) does not support her request that this should have
received a medical separation. Additionally, since she does not
meet current medical criteria for military duty, SGPS does not
support her request to change her DD Form 214.
The complete HQ AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial based on the documentation on file
in the applicant’s master personnel records. Her discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirement of the
discharge regulation and was within the discharge authority’s
discretion.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 18 May 12 for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 opinions and recommendations
of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
given
2
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.
