RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05615
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His reentry code (RE) of 2Q (medically retired or
discharged) be changed to allow him to join another service.
2. Item 2, Department, Component and Branch, on his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release from Active Duty, be corrected to
reflect AIR FORCEREGAF, instead of AIR FORCEUSAFR.
(administratively resolved).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged from the Air Force due to a medical condition
beyond his control. With this medical condition, he served four
years, maintained his job performance, and was a good airman and
he would like to join another service.
He was informed that his reentry code would reflect a code that
would allow him to join another branch of service.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on
27 Dec 05.
On 28 Oct 13, the applicant was honorably discharged, was issued
a narrative reason for separation of Disability, Severance Pay,
Non Combat (Enhanced) and an RE code of 2Q, and was credited
with seven years, ten months, and two days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C
and D.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPFD recommends denial of the applicants request to change
his 2Q RE code indicating there is no evidence of an error or an
injustice during the disability process. The Informal Physical
Evaluation Board (IPEB) reviewed the applicants medical board
for diagnoses of pulmonary embolism, no residuals and ulcerative
colitis and recommended discharge with severance pay (DWSP) with
a disability rating of zero percent. The applicant then
requested a formal hearing with the Formal Physical Evaluation
Board (FPEB) and it was determined that just the ulcerative
colitis was unfitting with a disability rating of zero percent
and recommended DWSP. The FPEB determined the pulmonary
embolism could be unfitting but was not currently ratable. The
applicant requested a final review from the Secretary of the Air
Force Personnel Council (SAFPC) and, on 2 April 2013, SAFPC
concurred with the determination of the FPEB and directed the
applicant be DWSP with a zero percent disability rating for
ulcerative colitis.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFD evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOR indicates that item 2 of the applicants DD Form 214
should be administratively corrected to reflect AIR FORCE
REGAF, instead of AIR FORCEUSAFR. The correction will be
made administratively once the Board makes a determination on
the applicants remaining request.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 25 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 an error or injustice warranting
correction of the applicants records to reflect the change of
his 2Q RE code to allow entry into another service component.
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 AFPC/DPFD and adopt its rationale as the basis
for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. We note the Air Force OPR has determined
the applicants DD Form 214, Certificate of Release from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect AIR FORCEREGAF, instead of AIR
FORCEUSAFR and will correct his records administratively.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting 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.
