STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
5 Sep 12. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, 
see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit E. 

 

During a recent audit it was discovered that the applicant’s 
response to the Air Force advisory opinion was misfiled and was 
not available for the Board’s consideration when they considered 
his case. To ensure fair and equitable consideration of his 
case, the applicant’s rebuttal submission was processed to the 
Board for reconsideration. 

 

In the applicant’s response he states that he was feeling 
stressed because of his pending deployment and that he would be 
leaving his wife with two autistic sons. He states while 
debriefing a flight crew he became enraged when he noticed a 
handmade poster with a sarcastic slogan poking fun at autistic 
children, allegedly made by members of his squadron. Being the 
parent of autistic children he was not amused and personally 
removed the poster from the wall. After the debriefing, he took 
the poster to the Social Actions Officer, who said they would 
take care of it. In the days following, he came upon an animated 
and immature conversation between other members in his squadron 
also making fun of the autistic. He became infuriated and very 
irresponsibly invited the two outside to the parking lot to 
discuss this issue further. Luckily, they declined, but this 
caused him to seek professional help. An Air Force doctor 
diagnosed him with rage/depressive disorder, and prescribed him 
medication. The medication made him feel better and the doctor 
continued to prescribe it. However, he was told that if he did 
not discontinue the usage he would be considered ineligible for 
world-wide duty since he could not deploy into an austere 
environment for a protracted period of time without his 
medication. He contends there was no prior occurrence of his 
medical condition which he feels was precipitated by the 
aforementioned situation. 

 

In support of his appeal the applicant provides a personal letter 


and medical diagnosis report from his physician. 

 

The applicant’s complete response, with attachment, is at Exhibit 
F.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

After careful consideration of this application, and the 
applicant’s additional documentation provided, we remain 
unpersuaded that his records should be changed to reflect that he 
was medically retired. Therefore, in view of the above, and in 
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon 
which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s 
request. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.

    SGPS supports the applicant’s request to have his records corrected to show elimination based on a medical diagnoses rather than SIE. However, if the Board’s decision is to grant the applicant’s request, his record may be changed to show elimination from JSUNT as a medical disqualification.
