			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of 
Transfer or Discharge, be corrected:

      a. to reflect his service number (Administratively 
corrected).

      b. to reflect his service in Korea.

should end with “56” verses “57” and his numerous Temporary 
Duties to Korea. 

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his 
DD Form 214 with his service number ending in “57”, DD Form 4, 
Enlistment Contract – Armed Forces of the United States, dated 
27 Feb 69, with his service number ending in “56”, DD Form 4, 
Enlistment Contract – Armed Forces of the United States, dated 
18 Mar 69, with his service number ending in “56”, Special Order

and AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, with his service number 
ending in “56”.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Mar 
69.

On 8 Jan 73, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, 
and was credited with 3 years, 9 months, and 21 days of active 
service.   His type of transfer or discharge Release from Active 
Duty and Reenlistment Code 1.

On 23 Apr 14, AFPC/DPSIRP notified the applicant that a review 
of his record revealed several source documents that confirmed 
the service number on his DD Form 214 was incorrect.  On 9 May 
14, a DD Form 214/215 Action Order was accomplished for 
AFPC/DPSOR to correct the applicant’s DD Form 214.  This will be 
accomplished upon conclusion of the Board’s decision.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  A review of the applicant’s Master 
Personnel Record and documentation provided failed to provide 
any substantive Foreign Service time in Korea.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 19 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  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 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 an error or injustice warranting 
correction of the applicant’s records to reflect his service in 
Korea.  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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error 
of injustice.  We note the Air Force OPR has determined the 
applicant’s service number is incorrect and will correct his 
records administratively.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence 
to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the 
requested relief.


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.
