AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02538
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation, Defective Enlistment
Agreement, and his separation code, KDS, be changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, should be changed to reflect a service connected
disability. According to the Aeromedical Summary, he was
disqualified from military service due to asthma. He received a
service connected disability of 30 percent for asthma.
In support of his request, the applicant provides his rating
from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Aeromedical
Summary.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 18 February
2003. On 9 June 2003, he was diagnosed with asthma at the
Wilford Hall Medical Center and was recommended for discharge.
On 25 June 2003, the applicant requested he be discharged for a
Defective Enlistment Agreement. The commander approved the
request on 24 June 2003. The applicant was discharged on
10 July 2003 and credited with 4 months and 23 days of active
duty service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. The applicant was removed from
training following his diagnosis of asthma. His medical profile
prevented him from continuing the physical demands of flying
status. He was a guaranteed enlistee who was unable to perform
his duties in flying status and therefore entitled to exercise
his right to separate from the Air Force.
The applicant states he was discharged due to medical reasons.
However, he was approved for discharge in accordance with a
defective enlistment agreement per his request. The basis for
his request was the Air Force’s alleged failure to fulfill its
commitments recorded on his enlistment/reenlistment agreement.
However, AFI 48-123, para A2.6.5 and A7.16.1.9, states asthma is
disqualifying for both continued military service and flying
duty.
The applicant provided no facts warranting a change to his
narrative reason for separation or separation code.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 22 August 2012, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). 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 submission in judging the merits of the case;
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
provided facts warranting the change he seeks. 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
