RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05663
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His discharge be changed to reflect a medical retirement.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he out-processed, he had a paper physical. He asked about
his ear issues, flat feet and ankle pain and was told the
Veterans Hospital would take care of him. However, that did
not happen until 2001. He believes his disability rating should
have begun on the date of his discharge. That would have
happened had he had a proper military physical.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits his DD Form 214,
Report of Separation from Active Duty and excerpts of his
medical records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served from 30 May 1973 through 29 May 1977. The applicants
narrative reason for separation is listed as release from active
duty and his service was characterized as honorable. He was
credited with 3 years, 11 months and 28 days of active duty
service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. A review of the applicants
Master Personnel Record reflects that he was separated from the
Air Force with a Separation Program Designator (SPD) code of
MBK and narrative reason of Completion of Required Active
Military Service. The SPD code MBK is used for members that
have completed their required active service required by the
active duty orders.
There is no error on the applicants DD Form 214.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 8 February 2013, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit C). 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 applicants complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and the
recommendation of APFC/DPSOR and adopt their rationale as the
basis for our conclusion and find 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
favorable consideration of the applicants request.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.
