RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00334
	 XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE
			HEARING DESIRED: NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The separation date on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release 
or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed from 18 May 2012 to 
22 May 2013.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

On 22 May 2013, he was discharged from the Air National Guard 
(ANG) to join the Regular Air Force.  However, the incorrect 
separation date reflected on his DD Form 214 prevents him from 
making rank.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 214, DD Form 368, Request for Conditional Release, and 
ANG Honorable Discharge Certificate.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, he served on active 
duty from 27 September 2011 to 18 May 2012.  His narrative 
reason for separation is “Completion of Initial Active Duty 
Training.”

According to Special Order P-007228 dated 4 June 2013, the 
applicant was honorably discharged from the ANG effective 22 May 
2013, for the purpose of enlistment in the Regular Air Force.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial.  The applicant completed his 
initial active duty for training on 18 May 2012; therefore his 
DD Form 214 correctly reflects his active duty time.  His NGB 
Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service, reflects 
his total service for pay while he was in the ANG.  There are no 
documents that identify the applicant participated on active 
duty from 19 May 2012 to 22 May 2013.  His Point Credit History 
shows that he performed his annual tours and unit training 
assemblies, which are reflected on his NGB Form 22.  In addition 
Special Order P-007228 transfers the applicant from the ANG for 
the purpose of enlistment in the Regular Air Force effective 
22 May 2013.

The complete DPTS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 8 May 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
D).


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 office of primary responsibility and adopt the 
rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in 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.
