IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03020

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect his foreign service in 
Germany (Will be administratively corrected) Okinawa, Japan and 
several other countries.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He spent 4 plus months in Germany, 12 months in Okinawa and 
visited several other countries on Temporary Duty (TDY) status.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the 
United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, on 19 Aug 63, he 
entered the Regular Air Force.

On 18 Aug 69, the applicant was discharge, and transferred to 
the Air Force Reserves.  He was credited with four years of 
total active service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  They were able to verify the 
applicant served four months in Germany and recommend he be 
credited with boots on the ground in Germany but were unable to 
verify any other foreign service.  

The complete DPAPP evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.





APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 9 Mar 15 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 error or injustice to warrant 
awarding Foreign Service for Germany, Japan, and several other 
foreign countries.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete 
submission in judging the merits of this 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 that the applicant has not been the 
victim of an error or injustice.  Other than the administrative 
corrections to reflect 4 months foreign service time in Germany, 
we find no basis to grant the additional relief sought in this 
application.


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.
