AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-01702
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive mustering-out pay (MOP) of $300.00 for each of his two
enlistments.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The applicant states that his twin brother received MOP from both the Army
and Air Force for his enlistments; however, he received nothing.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 February 1948, for a
period of three years. He was honorably discharged on 8 February 1951.
Item 38, Remarks, of the DD Form 214, issued on 8 February 1951, indicates,
“Not entitled mustering-out payments.”
He reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 February 1951, for a period of
three years.
The applicant was honorably discharged on 11 January 1954, under the
provisions of AFR 39-14 (Convenience of the Government) and AFR 39-45
(Enlisted Personnel - Disposition of Enlisted Returnees and Retention
Overseas of Enlisted Personnel). He completed a total of 5 years, 11
months, and 3 days of active service (both enlistments). Item 38, Remarks,
on the DD Form 214, issued on 11 January 1954, indicates, “MOP NOT AUTH.”
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
DFAS-POCC/DE recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
the applicant’s military pay records are no longer available to verify
whether or not he ever received MOP. In any case, he would only be
entitled to receive one payment of $300.00 under Public Law 82-550.
The DFAS-POCC/DE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and provided a response
that 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. The applicant’s military pay records are
no longer available; however, the DD Form 214 issued in conjunction with
his 1951 discharge indicates that he was not entitled to MOP. We note that
under the Mustering-Out Payment Act of 1944, those members who engaged in
active service in World War II and were discharged or released from active
duty on, or after 7 December 1941, were eligible to receive MOP. In view
of this, and since the applicant did not engage in active service in World
War II, he was not eligible for MOP at the time of his 1951 discharge. In
addition, the DD Form 214 issued in conjuction with his 1954 discharge
under the provisions of AFR 39-14 (Discharge for the Convenience of the
Government) and AFR 39-45 (Disposition of Enlisted Returnees and Retention
Overseas of Enlisted Personnel) indicates that MOP was not authorized.
Under the Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952, certain members of
the Armed Forces who engaged in active service during the period 27 June
1950 to 1 February 1955, and were discharged or relieved from active duty
under honorable conditions, were entitled to MOP. However, without the
applicant’s military pay records, we are unable to determine his
eligibility for MOP at the time of his 1954 discharge. Based on the
evidence presented, we believe the applicant has failed to
meet his burden that he has been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis
upon which to favorably consider this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
