EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Failed Medical/Physical Procurement Standards after 25 days at recruit
training on the Spring of 2012. The applicant was issued an Honorable discharge and an RE-3G reenlistment
code. For entry-level separations under 180 days, the character of service normally deemed and issued as
‘Uncharacterized’.
The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant’s record of service. The separation package and all
related documents on the applicant’s back problems were available. The applicant had an existing back problem
from their prior service time in one of the other Armed Forces. This was disclosed by the applicant while at
Military Entrance Processing Station. The applicant verbally expressed the existing condition to the recruit
training physician within the first 2 or 3 days of training. The applicant’s pain resulted in a light duty status and
unable to meet the physical fitness standards expected by all recruits. The applicant has provided a single letter
(post service to the present) from a private sector physician. The letter does not recommend the applicant for
future military service or render the applicant’s physical fitness capabilities to be fully equipped for a training
regimen.
Given the applicant’s failed medical/physical standards, the RE-3G appropriately documents that the enlistment
was terminated early as a result of a disqualifying condition, but does not serve as a permanent bar for
enlistment. Based upon the gaining Service’s accession policies in effect the applicant may request a waiver of
the disqualifying condition. The applicant has not substantiated any error or inequity with his assigned RE
code.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The Board recommends no relief.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief.
