AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

NOV  3  3 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  97- 03814 
COUNSEL:  None 
HEARING DESIRED:  No 

- 

Applicant  requests  that  his  DD  Form  214  (Armed Forces  of  the 
United  States Report  of 
er or Discharge) be  corrected to 
show overseas service in 
from January 1957 to December 1958 
during his  four-year enlistment  in the Air  Force.  Applicant's 
submission.is at Exhibit A. 

Applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in 
1973.  Therefore, the  facts  surrounding his 
departure 
and  arrival  dates  of  his  tour  of  duty  in 
cannot  be 
verified.  However, on 18 May  1998, officials at  the Air  Force 
Personnel Center  (AFPC) prepared a DD Form 215  (Correction to DD 
Form 2 1 4 )   administratively correcting applicant's Foreign and/or 
SEA Service to reflect 10 months and 16 days based on available 
documents reviewed. 

After careful consideration of applicant's request, we note that 
applicant has not provided documentation such as temporary duty 
(TDY) travel vouchers , perm 
change of station  (PCS) orders 
that  sent him  to and  from 
or Airman Performance Reports 
(APRs).  Therefore, based on the presumption of regularity in the 
conduct  of  government  affairs  and  without  evidence  to  the 
contrary, we  must  assume  that  the  applicant's DD  Form  214  and 
corrected  DD  Form  215  were  proper  and  in  compliance  with 
appropriate directives. 

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 
available  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. David C. Van  Gasbeck, Ms.  Patricia D .  
Vestal, and Mr. Edward H. Parker considered this application on 
5 November  1998 in accordance with  the provisions of Air  Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

There is no evidence any steps were taken to make a correction to the DAFSC or duty title from the...
