IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00785
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 4C (Separated for concealment of
juvenile records, minority, failure to meet physical standards
for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as
measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test (AFRAT), or
void enlistments.) be changed to allow reentry into the Air
Force.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His medical records do not show any history of corneal ectasia
as stated for his discharge.
In support of his request, the applicant has submitted a letter
of support from his Congressman and copies of eye exams dated
prior to enlistment, while at the Military Entrance Processing
Station(MEPS) as well as after discharge.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 13 Aug
13.
On 17 Sep 13, the applicant was notified by his commander of his
intent to discharge him for erroneous enlistment under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
Chapter 5, Section C, Defective Enlistments, paragraph 5.14.
The commander based these recommendations on a medical narrative
which stated the applicant did not meet the minimum medical
standards to enlist. The applicant acknowledged notification on
the same date and waived his rights to counsel and to submit a
statement on his behalf. He acknowledged if approved he would
not be entitled to disability, retirement or severance pay.
On 19 Sep 13, the discharge authority approved the separation
and directed an Uncharacterized entry level separation.
On 20 Sep 13, the applicant was furnished an Uncharacterized
entry level separation, and was credited with 1 month, and 8
days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibits C,
D, and E.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends denial indicating that based on the
documentation on file and subsequent civilian examination the
recommendation for separation was done in accordance with
established policy and procedures.
AETC/SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. Based on the documentation on file in
the records, the discharge to include the SPD code, narrative
reason for separation, and character of service were consistent
with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge regulation.
AFPC/DPSOR complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
AFPC/DPSOA states the applicant received an erroneous RE code of
4C and will provide a corrected copy of his DD Form 214
reflecting the correct RE code of 2C (Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service).
AFPC/DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit E.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 22 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit F). 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. 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 office of primary responsibility
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
We note, however, the Air Force OPR will correct the applicants
record to reflect the correct RE code of 2C and we agree with
this correction. Therefore, 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.
