ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2008-01708 COUNSEL:	NONE
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her separation code (SPD) of “JFC” (Erroneous Entry) and reentry (RE) code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service) be changed to one that will allow her to rejoin the military.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 Oct 08, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s appeal, requesting that her SPD and RE code be changed. A complete copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit F (with Exhibits A through E).

By her DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Record under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552, dated
20 Nov 09, the applicant requests reconsideration of her request, contending she never had asthma.

In support of her appeal, the applicant submits a copy of her Methacholline Challenge and Pulmonary Function Reports.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit G.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The BCMR Medical Consultant recommends approval. The Medical Consultant opines that due to the applicant’s most recent normal pulmonary function test (PFT), to include a negative Methacholline challenge test; her reported ability to run at least one mile per day; and the possibility that a respiratory illness such as bronchitis may have been a significant contributory factor in her previous positive test results, he finds it reasonable to change her RE code to allow her the opportunity to apply for reentry into the military.

The BMCR Medical Consultant’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit H.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 29 Apr 10 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an injustice regarding the applicant’s RE code. In this respect, after having received the latest pulmonary and methacholline challenge test results, and the opinion and recommendation of the BCMR Medical Consultant, we agree with his recommendation that her records should be corrected. However, it is noted the applicant will need to meet military physical standards for possible reconsideration when applying to reenter the military.  Wi t h  r egar d  t o  t he  appl i cant ’ s   r equest   t o   change her SPD code, we note that the SPD code that was assigned at the time of her separation accurately reflects the circumstance of her separation and evidence has not been provided that would lead us to believe otherwise. Therefore, we recommend that the records be corrected as indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 25 May 07, she was separated under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph 1.2 (Secretarial Authority) with a separation code of JFF and a reentry (RE) code of 3K.
