RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01226 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His narrative reason of “fraudulent entry into military service” be changed. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He believes it is unjust because he served honorably in the Army National Guard; Army Reserves, and Regular Army. The narrative reason is negative and does not accurately capture his entire military career. The evidence submitted in support of his appeal is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOS reviewed this application and recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant submitted a memorandum in which he apologized and took full responsibility for his actions. In the same memorandum, the applicant stated that if he had it to do all over again, he would have reported his medical issues. The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. The BCMR Medical Consultant reviewed this application and recommends denial. The Medical Consultant states the applicant was fully aware of his pre-existing medical condition and was being treated with a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) at the time of commissioning. The applicant did not disclose his medical condition at the time of entry; however, had he disclosed his OSA he more likely than not would have been disqualified for commissioning. The Medical Consultant agrees that Fraudenlent Entry carries a negative stigma; however, the applicant’s latest narrative reason for separation can only be based upon his final period of service. Therefore, the Medical Consultant is of the opinion the applicant has not met the burden of proof or an error or injustice that warrants a change in his narrative reason for separation. The BCMR Medical Consultant’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit D. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant on 8 Dec 10 for review and response. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit E). _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of the applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions stated in the advisory opinions appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by the applicant. Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied rights to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-01226 in Executive Session on 19 Jan 11, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
