IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04286
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 2Q (personnel medically retired or
discharged) be changed to a code that will allow him to enlist
in the Missouri Air National Guard.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged in 2000 due to suffering from migraine
headaches; he has not suffered from a migraine since 2001. He
has since been able to prove his excellent physical condition
while completing the Missouri Police Corps and serving as a
civilian police officer.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 23 Sep 98.
On 6 Mar 00, a Formal Physical Evaluation Board (FPEB) found the
applicant unfit for duty caused by chronic mixed headaches
associated with disequilibrium. The Board recommended discharge
with severance pay. On 6 Mar 00, the applicant agreed with the
findings and recommendations of the FPEB.
On 9 Mar 00, the Secretary of the Air Force found the applicant
unfit for continued military service and directed he be
separated from active service for physical disability with a
combined compensable disability rating of 10 percent.
On 24 Apr 00, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge
for physical disability with severance pay and was credited with
one year, seven months, and two days of total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letters prepared by the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility (OPR) which are attached at Exhibits C
and D.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID was able to verify award of the AFAM and AFPC/DPSOY
administratively corrected the applicants official military
personnel record.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his RE code, noting the RE code 2Q is accurately
reflected on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge From Active Duty, in accordance with Air Force
Instruction 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, Chapter 3, based
on his disability discharge.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 21 Jan 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit F).
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the AFPC/DPSOR and adopt their rationale as
the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. While the applicant contends
that he no longer suffers from the headaches that prematurely
ended his career, we do not find the documentation presented
sufficient to conclude that his disability discharge was
erroneous, or that his unfitting symptoms would not return when
confronted with the rigors of military service if he were to be
able to serve again. We note that AFPC has determined the
applicants entitlement to the Air Force Achievement Medal
(AFAM) and has corrected his records administratively.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting any relief beyond that rendered
administratively.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
