RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01706
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 2C, which denotes "Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service. be changed to allow him to
enlist in the Air National Guard (ANG) or the Navy Reserve.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged for having a preexisting medical condition.
However a statement from his childhood physician and supporting
reports that he successfully completed his post discharge physical
fitness training show otherwise.
The Board should find it in the interest of justice to consider
his untimely application because he was physically fit prior to
his entry in the Air Force and remains physically fit and would
like to serve again.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement from
his physician and other documents associated with his request.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 27 July 1995, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 24 August 1995, the applicant received an entry level
separation with uncharacterized service after serving 28 days on
active duty. His narrative reason for separation was Fraudulent
entry into military service and his RE code is 2C.
In 2005, the applicant submitted an application requesting the
Board change his character of service from uncharacterized to
honorable and his narrative reason for his discharge from
Fraudulent Entry to medical or an equivalent reason.
In a letter dated 30 June 2006, the Secretary of the Air Force
directed that the applicants record be corrected to show that his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
Block 26, Separation Code, be changed to KFF, and Block 28,
Narrative Reason for Separation, be changed to Secretarial
Authority.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/SG recommends denial. The applicant was evaluated for low
back pain and met a medical evaluation board on 9 August 1995 for
mechanical lower back pain. Records reflect that he has had lower
back pain since age 13 and had modified his life to avoid
activities which would cause him back pain. The orthopedic
surgeon recommended an entry level separation due to his inability
to continue in training secondary to his lower back pain. Based
on the documentation on file in the applicants records, his
separation was done in accordance with established policy and
administrative procedures.
The complete SG evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicants RE code of 2C is
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air
Force, based on his involuntary discharge with entry level
separation.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 11 August 2014, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit E).
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. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations
of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
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 issue(s) involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
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.
