RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01406

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to reflect an effective discharge date of 
20 Dec 80.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her date of discharge listed on her DD Form 214 is incorrect.  
It lists 20 Dec 79, when it should reflect 20 Dec 80.  This 
inaccuracy is impacting her ability to meet the eligibility 
requirements for a civil service position that was created 
specifically for her.

She has lost all of her military documentation and cannot show 
the dates are incorrect; however, is quite sure her records are 
in error.  She received an overseas assignment during her last 
six months of service (approximately Oct 80) which she could not 
accept and which was part of the reason for her discharge.  

In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of her 
DD Form 214.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Records reflect that on 12 Dec 79, the applicant was notified by 
her commander of his intent to discharge her under the 
provisions of AFM 39-12, Separation for Unsuitability, 
Misconduct, Resignation, or Request for Discharge for the Good 
of the Service and Procedures for the Rehabilitation Program, 
Chapter 2, Section B, paragraph 2-15a, with a General discharge 
for Misconduct.

On 19 Dec 79, the Staff Judge Advocate reviewed the discharge 
action and found it legally sufficient.  On the same date, the 
discharge authority approved a General discharge without 
probation and rehabilitation. 

On 20 Dec 79, the applicant was furnished an Under Honorable 
Conditions discharge, and was credited with 2 years, 9 months, 
and 10 days of active service.   

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


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The applicant’s date of discharge is 
correctly recorded on her DD Form 214.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPV 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 1 Oct 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.  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.  
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.
