RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04301 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to change the separation code of JDA (Fraudulent Entry) and reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without service characterization of service) to allow him to reenter military service. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The separation code and RE code he received are in error and unjust because according to his packet a current or history of congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels meet the standard for enlistment with a current echocardiogram. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 5 Aug 14, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the Regular Air Force. On 25 Aug 14, the applicant reported to the clinic for a follow up appointment for chest pain. He reported that he had a history of chest pain since age 13. He further reported that five years prior he was seen by cardiology and was advised to have cardiac surgery. He stated he did not have the surgery nor did he provide this information for his military entrance processing (MEPS) physical. On 5 Sep 14, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for fraudulent entry. The specific reason for the discharge action was the applicant intentionally concealed a prior medical condition (chronic chest pain), which if revealed, could have rendered him ineligible to enlist in the Air Force. The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification and waived his right to consult with legal counsel or to submit a statement in his own behalf. On 8 Sep 14, the legal office reviewed the case and found it legally sufficient to support separation and recommended the applicant be furnished an entry-level separation. On 10 Sep 14, the discharge authority concurred with the commander’s recommendation and the applicant was furnished an entry-level separation with uncharacterized service on 11 Sep 14. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AETC/SGPS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant has not provided any evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the processing of his discharge. Based on the documentation provided and reviewed, the discharge to include the type of separation was appropriately administrated and was within the discretion of the discharge authority. A complete copy of the AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant’s character of service, separation code and narrative reason for separation are correct as reflected on his DD Form 214. Based on the documentation on file in the applicant’s master personnel records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirement of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority. Airmen are given an entry-level separation with uncharacterized service when separation is initiated with the first 180 days of continuous active service. It was determined by the Department of Defense (DOD) that if a member served less than 180 days of continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their limited service. The applicant has not provided any evidence of an error or injustice regarding the processing of his discharge. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D. AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or in justice. The applicant has not provided any evidence of an error or injustice regarding his RE code. The applicant received the appropriate RE code based him receiving an entry- level separation with uncharacterized service in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF. If the applicant is otherwise eligible and medically cleared, a waiver from the service that medically clears him for entry would be more appropriate than changing his RE code from 2C. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit E. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 11 Feb 15 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 opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. 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.
