He has a zero percent disability from the Department of Veterans 
Affairs (DVA).  According to a report from his physician, his

showed absolutely no evidence of any current or previous heart 
attack or coronary artery disease.  He does not have any on-
going problems.

AF Form 618, Medical Board Report, a copy of his Echocardiogram

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served in the Regular Air Force and experienced 
Rhabdomyolsis associated with Heat Stroke.  The Informal 
Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) found the applicant’s medical 
condition unfit for duty on 13 Sep 05 and recommended him for 10 
percent disability severance pay.  He was discharged on 20 Sep 
05 after serving 2 months and 9 days on active duty.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of 
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  On 5 Sep 05, the Secretary of the 
Air Force directed the applicant to be separated and to receive 
severance pay that was computed under Section 1212 of 10 U.S.C. 
1203.  The applicant’s RE code of “2Q” is correct based on his 
disability and is in accordance with the governing instructions.

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 22 Mar 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  While we find 
his desire to serve his country commendable, we are not 
persuaded by the evidence submitted in support of his appeal, 
that a change in his RE code is warranted.  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 their 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In the absence of 
persuasive 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.
