RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00348
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Medical Continuation (MEDCON) orders be corrected to reflect
the start date as 6 Nov 12, rather than 3 Dec 12.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
1. He injured both shoulders while supporting operation ENDURING
FREEDOM and received a Line of Duty (LOD) for continued care.
He received physical therapy and other none invasive care;
however, his left shoulder ultimately required surgery. It was
not until after he had surgery that the National Guard Bureau
(NGB) denied his request for MEDCON orders two days post-
surgery. Once he provided the required documents to the NGB,
they forwarded his request to the Air Force Medical Operations
Agency (AFMOA) and MEDCON orders were provided with a start date
of 3 Dec 12.
2. No action has been taken to correct the date of his MEDCON
orders. As such, he has had to use his civilian sick leave to
off-set this issue.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, a copy of a memorandum from the 153d Medical Group, a
copy of his MEDCON orders, a copy of AF IMT 348, Line of Duty
Determination, and a copy of his Leave and Earning Statement
(LES).
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPFA recommends approval due to administrative delays.
DPFA opines that due to the inconsistencies in the
documentation, and the late notification of these
inconsistencies identified by ANG/SGP staff, caused an
administrative delay in the applicant being eligible for MEDCON
orders.
The complete DPSOE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 Jul 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice that warrants
corrective action. After reviewing the evidence of record, we
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility to correct the applicants
medical continuation orders to reflect a start date of 6 Nov 12
through 30 May 13. . We have been advised by AFMOA/SGHI that
the applicant has been approved for an extension of these orders
through 30 May 2013. Therefore, we recommend the records be
corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
_
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was
placed on medical continuation orders effective 6 November 2012

January 2013.
