RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00785 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Reentry (RE) code “4C” (Separated for concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet physical standards for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test (AFRAT), or void enlistments.) be changed to allow reentry into the Air Force. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His medical records do not show any history of corneal ectasia as stated for his discharge. In support of his request, the applicant has submitted a letter of support from his Congressman and copies of eye exams dated prior to enlistment, while at the Military Entrance Processing Station(MEPS) as well as after discharge. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 13 Aug 13. On 17 Sep 13, the applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to discharge him for erroneous enlistment under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section C, Defective Enlistments, paragraph 5.14. The commander based these recommendations on a medical narrative which stated the applicant did not meet the minimum medical standards to enlist. The applicant acknowledged notification on the same date and waived his rights to counsel and to submit a statement on his behalf. He acknowledged if approved he would not be entitled to disability, retirement or severance pay. On 19 Sep 13, the discharge authority approved the separation and directed an Uncharacterized entry level separation. On 20 Sep 13, the applicant was furnished an Uncharacterized entry level separation, and was credited with 1 month, and 8 days of active service. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibits C, D, and E. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ AETC/SGPS recommends denial indicating that based on the documentation on file and subsequent civilian examination the recommendation for separation was done in accordance with established policy and procedures. AETC/SGPS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. Based on the documentation on file in the records, the discharge to include the SPD code, narrative reason for separation, and character of service were consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. AFPC/DPSOR complete evaluation is at Exhibit D. AFPC/DPSOA states the applicant received an erroneous RE code of 4C and will provide a corrected copy of his DD Form 214 reflecting the correct RE code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service). AFPC/DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit E. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 22 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit F). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. We note, however, the Air Force OPR will correct the applicant’s record to reflect the correct RE code of “2C” and we agree with this correction. Therefore, we find no basis to recommend granting relief beyond that rendered administratively. 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.
