AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  97-03681 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  his  (DD Form  214) Armed  Forces  of  the 
United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, effective 1 August 
1959, be amended to show 2 months, 11 days served in the Inactive 
Ready Reserve as active duty service.  Applicant's submission is 
at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate  Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's  request 
and  provided  an  advisory  opinion to  the  Board  recommending the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and  response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient  evidence  of 
error or injustice to warrant  corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent  persuasive  evidence applicant was  denied  rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will  only be  reconsidered upon  the presentation of new  relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members  of  the  Board,  Mr.  Michael  P.  Higgins,  Dr.  Gerald  B. 
Kauvar,  and  Mr.  Allen  Beckett  considered  this  application  on 
28 July  1998,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statde, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

1.  The requested correction cannot be accomplished administratively at h s  headquarters. 

2.  The applicant requests that his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of 
Transfer or Discharge, effective 1 August 1959, be amended to show the 2 months, 11 days that 
he served in the Inactive Ready Reserve as active duty service 

3.  The following is an analysis of the circumstances surrounding the case: 

a.  The applicant was released fkom the United States Air Force on 1 August 1959 at- 

Air Force Bas-d 
Ready Reserve, on 2 August 1959. He was discharged from the Inactive Ready Reserve on 
12 October 1959. 

transfen-ed to the United States An Force Reserve, Inactive 

b.  The applicant states that after being transferred to the Inactive Ready Reserve, he was 

required to perform and was paid for active duty service for the entire 2 months, 11 days he was 
assigned to the Inactive Ready Reserve.  He contends he was redlined and that is the reason he 
was not discharged until 12 October 1959. 

c.  All documentation indicates that the applicant was not serving on active duty during the 

contested 2 months, 11 days period.  His NGB Form 23B, Army National Guard Retirement 
Points History Statement, prepared 26 August 1991 
2 August through 12 October 1959. 

shows he has no points from 

d.  The applicant refers to the reverse of his DD Form 256, Honorable Discharge, effective 

12 October 1959, which reflects that for pay purposes he was credited with 4 years, 2 months, 11 
days of service.  But this sane docurhent shows that his active service  was only a total of 4 years 

- 

e. The applicant  was credited with the 2 months, 11 days on his DD Form 214, effective 

His DD Form 214, effective 1 August 1959 
20 March 1963 
which shows hi 
4 years is correct and should not reflect the time he spent in the 
Inactive Ready Reserve, as this time was served after the period of this particular DD Form 21 4. 

4.  Recommendation: Recommend that the applicant’s request be denied.  There is no 
verification that the applicant was performing active duty from 2 August 1959 through 
12 October 1959.  His record shows that this time period was appropriately credited as Inactive 
Ready Reserve time.  Hthe decision is to grant approval, the following actions should be taken: 

a.  HQ AFPCDPMDOA should amend the applicant’s DD Form 214 dated 1 August 1959 to 

reflect a discharge from the Regular Air Force on 12 October 1959. 

b.  The applicant’s record should reflect an immediate reenlistment and that he was not 

transferred to the Air Force Reserve. 

c.  All documentation of the applicant’s service in the Inactive Ready Reserve should be 
revoked or voided.  Additionally, the Army National Guard should be advised to amend his 
retirement credits.
