		INDEX NUMBER:  110.00
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  None

		HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed from “2C,” “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service,” to one that will allow his reentry into the US military.

_________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 17 Nov 04, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request as stated above (Exhibit E).  In a DD Form 149, dated    5 Aug 06, the applicant again requests his RE code be changed to one that will allow him to reenlist in the Navy (Exhibit F).  The applicant contends he has evidence his back is “fine” and that the x-rays taken while he was in the Air Force are wrong.  In support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies of x-rays taken after he was out of the Air force.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the BCMR Medical Consultant evaluated the applicant’s current request.  The BCMR Medical Consultant again recommends denial of the applicant’s request.

In support of his appeal, the applicant submits the results of scoliosis x-ray surveys performed 7 Nov 03 and 10 Dec 03, which were previously submitted and reviewed.  The BCMR Medical Consultant states that his conclusions and recommendations remain the same as put forth in the evaluation dated 17 Sep 04.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit G.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1 Feb 07 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response has not been received.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing the complete evidence of record, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the BCMR Medical Consultant and adopt his rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not presented sufficient new evidence to show he has been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, we do not find a basis to change our earlier determination to deny the relief requested.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
