AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03109
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Re-entry (RE) code of 2Q (Approved Medical Retirement or
Separation) be changed to allow him to reenlist in the service.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was medically discharged for a condition which no longer
exists.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to documents extracted from the Automated Records
Management System (ARMS), the applicant enlisted in the Regular
Air Force on 13 September 2005. He received a disability
discharge with severance pay and an honorable characterization
of service on 24 November 2010. He was credited with serving
5 years, 2 months, and 12 days of active duty service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate Air Force
office of primary responsibility (OPR) at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states the correct
reenlistment-eligibility status code for a person who was
approved for a medical retirement or separation is 2Q.
The applicant was referred to the Informal Physical Disability
Board (IPEB) on 16 July 2010, for chronic right wrist pain,
status-post release of volar fascia. The IPEB noted the
applicant was restricted from occupational duties that required
range of motion of wrist/forearm against force. The Commander
noted the applicant was not able to do most of the duties
required by his AFSC. The 26 March 2010, MEB Summary noted the
applicant had great difficult in using his right hand related to
pain upon combined wrist flexion and pronation against
resistance, and was unable to perform mechanic job duties such
as manipulating tools. The IPEB recommended discharge with
severance pay with a disability rating of 10 percent.
On 30 July 2010, the applicant disagreed with the IPEB finding
and requested a formal hearing of his case. On 18 October 2010,
the applicant waived his request for a formal hearing and
concurred with the IPEB's recommendations and was discharged on
24 November 2010. The preponderance of evidence reflects that
no error or injustice occurred during the disability process or
at the time of separation.
The complete AFPC/DPSD 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 6 August 2012 for review and comment within 30
days. To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice warranting
corrective action regarding the applicant's request to change
his Reentry Code to allow him to reenlist in the Armed Forces.
We took notice of the applicant's complete 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 been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, 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.
