RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02762 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His reentry code (RE) 2Q (approved medical retirement or separation) be changed to allow him to reenlist in the Air Force. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He would like to reenlist in the Air Force. The applicant submits no supporting documentation. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 15 May 2007. He was referred to an Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) for Tietze’s syndrome and they recommended he be discharged with severance pay and a disability rating of 10 percent. On 6 November 2007, the Secretary of the Air Force directed the applicant be separated under the provisions of Title 10 USC 1203. The applicant was discharged with an RE code of 2Q. He was credited with serving 6 months and 23 days on active duty. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA validated the applicant’s disability discharge processing. They confirmed RE code 2Q is correct per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States Air Force, based on his disability discharge. They also stated the applicants current medical status has no affect on his RE code. The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states the preponderance of evidence reflects no error or injustice occurred during the disability process. DPSD did note, however, there was an error with the date of discharge. The error was corrected and the Defense Finance Accounting System was notified to issue the applicant severance pay. The complete DPSD evaluation is at Exhibit D. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 8 April 2011, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, other than the administrative correction made by AFPC/DPSD, we find no basis to favorably consider this application. ________________________________________________________________ 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 Docket Number BC- 2010-02762 in Executive Session on 19 July 2011, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
