RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01669
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect that he was on Medical
Continuation (MEDCON) orders from 19 June 2013 to 27 June
2013 with full pay and points.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
There was a delay in the initial MEDCON order application
process, which resulted in a gap between the 30 day extension on
the original order and his approved MEDCON orders.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
MEDCON application package.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to Special Order R-T000274 dated 28 May 2013, the
applicant was on active duty orders from 28 Feb 2013 - 18 Jun
2013.
According to an AF Form 348, Line of Duty determination, dated
1 June 2013, the applicant, a traditional guardsman on title
10 orders in leave status was participating in a sanctioned
motorcycle race in Concord, NH; he lost control of his
motorcycle and crashed.
In an email to the National Guard Bureau Surgeon General dated
12 June 2013, the medical group superintendent requested the
applicants MEDCON orders scheduled to end on 18 June 2013, be
continued due to the motorcycle accident.
According to DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty, the applicant was on active duty from 28 June
2013 through 26 March 2014.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPFA recommends approval. There is evidence the
applicants MEDCON request was delayed due to administrative
processing. The applicant was approved for Pre-MEDCON from
21 May 2013 - 18 June 2013, which afforded time for the MEDCON
request package to be coordinated between the unit and NGB/SG.
NGB/SG submitted the MEDCON request package to the legacy MEDCON
management cell on 14 June 2013, prior to the end date of the
Pre-MEDCON orders. However, there is no explanation why it took
9 days to process the request. Therefore, the applicant should
be approved for MEDCON from 19 June 2013 to 27 June 2013.
The complete DPFA evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 October 2014, 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 C).
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 an error or injustice. Having
carefully reviewed this application, we agree with the
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision
that the applicant has been the victim of either an error or an
injustice. Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be
corrected as set forth 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 not
released from active duty on 18 June 2013, but on that date he
continued on active duty for the purpose of medical evaluation
through 26 March 2014, in accordance with Title 10, United
States Code § 12301 (h), at which time he was released from
active duty.
