RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03327
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reentry (RE) code of 2Q be changed to RE code of 4 recommending her for reenlistment.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The medical condition she was discharged with does not hinder her active service.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 3 Jun 08.
On 19 Aug 11, an Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) reviewed the applicants medical records for diagnosis of recurrent ovarian cysts with chronic pelvic pain and chronic pain medication, and recommended discharge with severance pay with a ten percent disability rating.
On 25 Aug 11, the applicant concurred with the recommended findings.
On 9 Sep 11, the Secretary of the Air Force directed the applicant to be separated for physical disability, with entitlement to severance pay.
On 10 Oct 11, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, an RE code of 2Q, a separation program designator (SPD) code of JFO, a narrative reason for separation of Disability, Severance Pay, Non-combat, and was credited with three years, four months, and eight days of total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPFD recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The IPEB found her medical condition made her unfit for continued military service. The RE code of 2Q is the correct reenlistment code for a member who was approved for a medical retirement or separation. There is no evidence of an error or injustice during the disability evaluation process.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFD evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. Although the applicant requests an RE code of 4, in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, the RE code 4 series is for conditions barring immediate reenlistment. Given DPFDs assessment that the RE code of 2Q is the correct RE code, the request to change her RE code should be denied.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 17 Nov 12 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 applicants 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 (OPR) and adopt their 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.
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.
