STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 May 2008. 

 

On 29 August 2008, the applicant was notified by his commander of 
his intent to recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force 
under the provisions of AFPD 36-32, and AFI 36-3208, paragraph 
5.14. The specific reason was a Chronological Record of Medical 
Care form, dated 30 July 2008, which states the applicant was 
diagnosed with Migraines. 

 

He was advised of his rights in this matter and acknowledged 
receipt of the notification on that same date. The applicant 
waived his right to consult with counsel and elected not to 
submit statements on his own behalf. 

 

In a legal review of the case file, the assistant staff judge 
advocate found the case legally sufficient and recommended 
discharge. On 18 September 2008, the discharge authority 
concurred with the recommendations and directed an entry level 
separation. The applicant was discharged on 22 September 2008. 
He served 4 months and 17 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states that the applicant’s 
condition existed prior to him entering the service and was not 
disclosed to the MEPS CMO. He was seen at the Trainee Health 
Clinic and by neurology and was diagnosed with migraine 
headaches. He declined an AETC waiver review and was separated. 
The separation was done in accordance with established policy and 
administrative procedures. 

 

The SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 30 July 2010, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
D). As of this date, this office has received no response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that 
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air 
Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the 
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not 
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a 
change to his RE code to allow him to reenlist is warranted. 
Therefore, we agree with the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error 
or injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we 
find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
