RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02501

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His service time in the Navy be added to his DD Form 214, Report 
of Separation from Active Duty.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He spent 4 years, 3 months and 8 days in the Navy; however, this 
time was excluded from his DD Form 214.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214 issued in conjunction with his 1 March 
1978 retirement from the Air Force.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant retired from the Regular Air Force on 28 February 
1978 after serving 20 years, 8 months and 2 days of total active 
service.  His DD Form 214 for this period reflects 4 years, 
3 months and 8 days of Foreign and/or Sea Service.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. The applicant’s DD Form 
214 issued in conjunction with his retirement includes his total 
active service.  Item 12a, Net Active Service this Period, item 
12b, Prior Active Service, and item 12c, Total Prior Active 
Service, includes the periods of service included in the five DD 
Forms 214 the applicant was issued during his service and totals 
20 years, 8 months, and 2 days total active service.  The 
4 years, 3 months, and 8 days the applicant asserts he spent in 
the Navy actually denotes his overseas service, which is 
included in his total active service.

?
The complete DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit 
B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 26 January 2015, 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 C).


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 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.
