AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00276
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records reflect that he was not released from his active duty
orders on 20 May 2011 but continued on those orders through 16 Mar
2012 when his Line of Duty (LOD) was completed.
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should not have been released from active duty due to a back
injury he sustained while on active duty orders.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of AFRCI
36-3004, Incapacitation Pay and Management of Reservist Continued
on Active Duty Orders; AFRC IMTs 348, Informal Line of Duty
Determination; AF Forms 938, Request and Authorization for Active
Duty Training/Active Duty Tour and ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force.
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record
of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
APPC/DPFA recommends denial. DPFA states that a review of the
Command Man-Day Allocation System (CMAS), reflects the applicant,
was on Military Personnel Appropriation (MPA) orders from 3 Feb
2011 to 20 May 2011. Request Notes in CMAS indicate that he was
removed from his orders early (20 May 2011) to participate in
Operation CORONET OAK ROTATION. This set of orders began 27 May
2011. There is no indication that a CMAS request was ever
submitted for Medical Continuation (MEDCON) orders, nor has any
documentation been submitted to indicate the applicant requested
MEDCON. His Duty Limiting Condition Report indicated he had duty
restrictions only, and was not coded a 31 or 37, indicating his
condition was expected to resolve in 30 days or less. At no time
during the 10 month period was he ever Mobility Restricted or
coded a 31 or 37, a requirement for MEDCON. His LOD was found in
the LOD (ILOD) by the Wing Appointing Authority on 3 Aug 2011.
Documentation in the Automated LOD (ALOD) System indicates that
the Appointing Authority was unable to close this LOD locally;
therefore a determination to forward the LOD to the Air Force
Reserve Command (AFRC) LOD Board Review was made. The applicants
condition was an injury and thus did not require the LOD to be
forwarded to the AFRC LOD Board for a determination. MEDCON
orders require duty and mobility restrictions and for the service
member to be coded a 31 or 37. It should be noted that the
applicant accepted multiple MPA orders following his initial
injury throughout the time frame his LOD was pending determination
through the AFRC LOD Board. He has shown a presumption of fitness
by being cleared for these orders.
The complete DPFA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 28 Jun 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
D).
__________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. 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
the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion 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
granting the relief sought in this application.
__________________________________________________________________
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.

His first LOD was informal; the second LOD was initiated to validate continuation on active duty; the LOD, prognosis and a plan of care must be submitted every 45 days; however, there was some confusion with the process, so his request for MEDCON was not submitted until his active duty orders had ended.
