RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00993
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  YES 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The entry in his medical record dated 19 Oct 71, be changed to 
read “treatment for major depression” versus “sleep anxiety.”


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In 1975 he was depressed.  Airmen treated for depression were 
discharged under the Human Reliability Program.

The Board should find it in the interest of justice to consider 
his untimely application because he was suffering from major 
depression. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 19 Jan 71, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.

On 30 Jul 74, the applicant received an honorable discharge.  He 
was credited with 3 years, 6 months and 13 days of active service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFMOA/SGH recommends denial.  There is no reference of depression 
in the applicant’s medical records during his Air Force military 
service from 1971-1974.  The provider’s entry on the SF Form 600, 
Chronological Record of Medical Care dated 1 Oct 71, does not 
indicate depression; it simply states “trouble sleeping and 
anxiety.”  The applicant denied being “treated for mental 
conditions,” on the SF Form 93, Report of Medical History, dated 
17 May 74.  The applicant marked “no” to “frequent trouble 
sleeping, depression or excessive worry, and nervous trouble of 
any sort,” during an entrance physical with the United States Army 
as annotated on the SF 93 dated 26 May 75.    

The complete SGH 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 4 Oct 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  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 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 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 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will 
materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.


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.


The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00993 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 3 Mar 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFMOA/SGH, undated.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 4 Oct 14.
