RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05615 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 1. His reentry code (RE) of 2Q (medically retired or discharged) be changed to allow him to join another service. 2. Item 2, Department, Component and Branch, on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect “AIR FORCE—REGAF,” instead of “AIR FORCE—USAFR.” (administratively resolved). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was discharged from the Air Force due to a medical condition beyond his control. With this medical condition, he served four years, maintained his job performance, and was a good airman and he would like to join another service. He was informed that his reentry code would reflect a code that would allow him to join another branch of service. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 27 Dec 05. On 28 Oct 13, the applicant was honorably discharged, was issued a narrative reason for separation of Disability, Severance Pay, Non Combat (Enhanced) and an RE code of 2Q, and was credited with seven years, ten months, and two days of active service. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPFD recommends denial of the applicant’s request to change his 2Q RE code indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice during the disability process. The Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) reviewed the applicant’s medical board for diagnoses of pulmonary embolism, no residuals and ulcerative colitis and recommended discharge with severance pay (DWSP) with a disability rating of zero percent. The applicant then requested a formal hearing with the Formal Physical Evaluation Board (FPEB) and it was determined that just the ulcerative colitis was unfitting with a disability rating of zero percent and recommended DWSP. The FPEB determined the pulmonary embolism could be unfitting but was not currently ratable. The applicant requested a final review from the Secretary of the Air Force Personnel Council (SAFPC) and, on 2 April 2013, SAFPC concurred with the determination of the FPEB and directed the applicant be DWSP with a zero percent disability rating for ulcerative colitis. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFD evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSOR indicates that item 2 of the applicant’s DD Form 214 should be administratively corrected to reflect “AIR FORCE— REGAF,” instead of “AIR FORCE—USAFR.” The correction will be made administratively once the Board makes a determination on the applicant’s remaining request. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 25 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 warranting correction of the applicant’s records to reflect the change of his 2Q RE code to allow entry into another service component. 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 AFPC/DPFD and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. We note the Air Force OPR has determined the applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect “AIR FORCE—REGAF,” instead of “AIR FORCE—USAFR” and will correct his records administratively. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 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.
