AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

ADDENDUM TO 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

AUG 1 4  1998 

DOCKET  NUMBER: 8 8 - 0 0 5 2 4  
COUNSEL:  None 

HEARING DESIRED:  Yes 

RESUME OF CASE: 

On 21 August 1989, the Board considered applicant's requests that 
his nonselection for promotion by the Fiscal Year 1975 Temporary 
Major  Selection  Board  be  voided;  his  identification  for 
involuntary  release  from  active  duty  by  the  11 November  1974 
Reserve  Officer  Screening  Board  (ROSB) be  voided;  his  31 July 
1975 involuntary release from active duty be voided; his 27 June 
1977 transfer to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) 
be voided; his 7 June 1977 removal from the major promotion list 
be  voided; his  25 June  1983  transfer to the Retired Reserve be 
voided;  he  be  restored  to  active  duty  retroactive  to  31  July 
1975, he be promoted to major retroactive to 31 March 1978; he be 
awarded Reserve point credits for the period August 1975 through 
August  1981;  he be  allowed to retire from active duty after 20 
years  of  credited  service;  and  he  be  awarded  back  pay, 
allowances, retired pay, and benefits. The Board determined the 
application was not timely filed and found no basis to conclude 
that it would be in the interest of justice to waive the failure 
to  timely  file.  In addition, the  Board  was  not  persuaded  the 
record  raised  issues  of  error  or  injustice  which  required 
resolution  on  the  merits.  A  complete  copy  of  the  Record  of 
Proceedings is attached at M. 

In  a  letter,  dated  1  December  1997,  to  his  Congressman,  the 
applicant  provided  additional  documentation  and  requested 
reconsideration  of  his  application.  The  applicant's  complete 
submission is attached at Exhibit N. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

We  have  carefully  reviewed  the  applicant's  complete  submission 
and the entire evidence of record; however, we still do not find 
a  sufficient  basis  to  excuse  the  untimely  filing  of  the 
application for correction of military records.  After thoroughly 
reviewing the statements submitted by applicant, we still are not 
persuaded that the applicant has shown a plausible reason--for the 
delay in filing.  Although the applicant was living and -working 

overseas between 1975 and 1981,  this did not preclude his filing. 
In addition, as noted by the previous panel, the  record does not 
raise  issues of  error or injustice which  require  resolution on 
the merits.  Accordingly, we again conclude that it would not be 
in the interest of justice to excuse the untimely filing of this 
application. 

DECISION OF THE BOARD: 

The application was not timely filed and it would not be  in the 
interest  of  justice  to  waive  the  untimeliness. 
It  is  the 
decision of  the Board, therefore, to  reject  the  application as 
untimely. 

The following members of the Board considered this application in 
Executive Session on 16  July 1998, under the provisions of AFI 
36-2603 : 

Mr. Henry C. Saunders, Panel Chair
