RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04809
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, issued in conjunction with her 22 May 95 separation, Block 
12c., Net Active Service This Period, be changed to reflect 
5  years, 1 month, and 10 days rather than 4 years, 6 months, 
and 23 days.

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her DD Form 214 does not reflect credit for her Delayed 
Enlistment Program (DEP) service of one year.  When she entered 
the service she was told that her DEP would count as time in 
service.

She was not out-processed properly.  Her DD Form 214 was not 
explained or discussed in any way and she did not have an 
opportunity to preview it prior to discharge.

She did not realize that her time was miscalculated until it was 
recently explained to her.  Because of this she believes 
timeliness should be waived.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of her 
DD Form 214.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 29 Oct 90, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force 
for a period of four years.

On 22 May 95, the applicant was discharged from active duty with 
a reason for separation of weight control failure.  She was 
credited with 4 years, 6 months, and 23 days of active duty 
service and 6 months and 17 days of prior inactive service.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. The applicant received full 
credit for all of her service on her DD Form 214, Item 12c, 
reflects 4 years 6 months 23 days Net Active Service this 
Period.  Item 12e reflects her DEP time as 6 months 17 days for 
a total of 5 years 1 month 10 days.

The complete DPSIC evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 10 Jan 14 for review and comment within 30 days.  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D).

________________________________________________________________

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the 
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.  
The applicant did not file within three years after the alleged 
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, 
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction    
36- 2603.  The applicant has not shown a plausible reason for 
the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record 
raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on 
the merits.  Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the 
interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in 
a timely manner.  

________________________________________________________________

DECISION OF THE BOARD:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the 
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness.  It is the 
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as 
untimely.
