RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03522
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited with 10 months of active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer
or Discharge) reflects that he accrued 10 months of active duty which
was not reflected on his NGB Form 22. He states that this appears to
leave him with enough time for retirement. If the error is rectified,
he should be granted retroactive benefits back to age 60 and forward
until his death.
Applicant states that during the intervening years he sought to obtain
congressional help in clarifying the data but was unaware that the
information was omitted on the NGB Form 22.
In support of the applicant’s appeal, he provided a copy of his DD
Form 214 and NGB Form 22.
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
ARPC Form 168, Computation for AF Form 526, dated 23 January 2002,
reflects that the applicant served in the U.S. Navy Reserve from 4
August 1953 to 30 September 1965. He was in civilian status from 1
October 1965 to 25 June 1976. He served in the Air National Guard
from 26 June 1976 until his discharge on 26 July 1985 due to medical
disqualification. He was transferred to the Honorary Retired Reserve
on 26 July 1985. The applicant completed a total of 19 years, 1
month, and 27 days of satisfactory Federal service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPP recommended denial. They state that the applicant’s
records reveal that he was, in fact, properly credited with all of his
service. They indicate that in order for him to qualify for
retirement benefits, he must complete 20 years of satisfactory federal
service, with the last eight years in a reserve component, as required
by US Code, Title 10, Section 12731. They further state that the
applicant does meet the age requirement; however, he does not meet the
service requirements to receive retired pay.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 March 2002, the applicant submitted additional documents to
further substantiate his claim. He provided a transcript to reflect
his attendance at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) from
September 1967 until 28 August 1968, as a recipient of a Federal
traineeship and a Report of Individual Personnel (RIP), dated 3 July
1985, just prior to his discharge from the Air National Guard.
Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and applicant's submission, we are not persuaded
that his assertions, in and by themselves, are sufficiently persuasive
to override the rationale provided by the Air Force. Based on the
evidence of record and that verified by HQ Air Reserve Personnel
Center (HQ ARPC), the applicant was properly credited for all of the
service which he performed during his career, including the credit of
304 points (which equates to 10 months) of active duty he received for
Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 3 August 1962. Therefore, 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
decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of having
suffered either an error or injustice. There being insufficient
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue involved. Therefore,
the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

Honorable service is the total years of service in the military; it includes satisfactory service, as well as years the member did not participate sufficiently to earn satisfactory service.
