RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00225
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation of Fraudulent Entry Into
Military Service (Medical) be corrected.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her recruiter told her to deny all questions regarding her
medical issues.
In support of her request, the applicant provided copies of her
DD Form 2807-2, Medical Prescreen of Medical History Report,
congressional correspondence, and a notarized witness statement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on
25 April 2012.
2. On 5 October 2012, the applicant was notified by her
commander that he was recommending her for discharge from the
Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 Military
Retirements and Separations and AFI 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section 5C, Defective
Enlistments, paragraph 5.15, under Discharge for Fraudulent
Entry. The specific reason for this action was: she
intentionally concealed a prior service medical condition. They
discovered she had a history of headache syndrome that was not
documented on her DD Form 2807-2.
3. On 5 October 2012, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and was advised of her right to
consult legal counsel as well as submit a statement to the
commander in her own behalf. The applicant waived her right to
consult legal counsel and to submit a statement in her behalf.
4. Subsequent to the file being found legally sufficient, the
discharge authority approved the recommendation and directed the
applicant be discharged with an entry level separation. The
applicant was released from active duty on 11 October 2012.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states that a review of the
records and medical notes from Wilford Hall Medical Center
(WHMC) indicate the applicant was seen at the Reid Clinic on
25 September 2012, for headaches and was diagnosed with Headache
Syndrome due to her long history of headaches since childhood.
This was not disclosed during her medical prescreening and the
problem continued during basic training. Because this is
disqualifying for military service she was processed for an
entry level separation.
The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C
1. AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states the applicant
did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing. She provided no
facts warranting a change to her separation code, or narrative
reason for separation. Based on the documentation on file in
the master personnel record, the discharge was consistent with
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge
authority.
2. On 14 September 2012, the medical staff determined the
applicant had the disqualifying condition prior to enlistment.
On 3 October 2012, the applicant signed a statement that she did
not disclose her history of headache syndrome because her
recruiter told her to withhold her past medical history from the
Air Force. Although the recruiter informed the applicant not to
disclose her history, the applicant agreed not to disclose her
history. They concur that fraudulent enlistment was the correct
basis for discharge.
The complete 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 22 March 2013 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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.
4. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. After careful
consideration of the circumstances surrounding the applicants
separation, we are persuaded she did not deliberately try to
conceal or omit her long history of headaches. We have no
reason to not believe the applicants assertions that she was
misinformed by her recruiter regarding what information she
should or should not disclose. We believe the applicants
explanation and supporting statement from her mother of the
events surrounding her enlistment and separation provide a
reasonable basis to resolve this matter in her favor. In view
of this, and to preclude any further injustice to the applicant,
we recommend that the narrative reason for her separation and
corresponding separation code be changed to Secretarial
Authority.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was
discharged on 11 October 2012, with a narrative reason for
separation of "Secretarial Authority rather than Fraudulent
Entry Into Military Service (Medical) and a separation code of
"KFF," rather than "JDA".
