RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05239

		COUNSEL:  NO

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Honorable discharge be changed to reflect he was retired for 
physical disability.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He should have been medically retired due to his traumatic brain 
injury (TBI) and bi-polar disorder.  There was a failure to 
schedule a required follow-up CT scan and mental health 
appointments after an injury he sustained in 2005 that resulted 
in him being in a coma.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 13 Nov 97.

On 16 Nov 09, the applicant was released from active duty with 
an honorable character of service and issued a reentry code of 
2X (First Term, Second Term, or Career Airman nonselected for 
reenlistment).

________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s 
complete submission, we are not convinced he is the victim of an 
error or injustice.  While the applicant contends he did not 
receive the required medical care after an injury he sustained 
in 2005 that resulted in him being in a coma, he has provided no 
evidence whatsoever for us to consider in evaluating his 
request.  Therefore, we conclude the evidence presented is not 
sufficient to overcome the presumption of regularity in the 
conduct of government affairs which, in the absence of evidence 
to the contrary, requires us to presume that his discharge was 
carried-out in accordance with the provisions of the prescribing 
instruction and was within the discretion of the discharge 
authority.  Accordingly, 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 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.
