RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01127
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His first enlistment be included on his DD Form 214, Report of Separation
from Active Duty, and his retired pay be recalculated.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His first enlistment is not calculated into his DD Form 214 and retired
pay. He had continuous service from 6 November 1967 to 29 February 1992.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a copy of his Retiree
Account Statement, and copies of his DD Forms 214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 November 1967, for a
period of four years. He served continuously until his retirement on 1
March 1992, in the grade of senior master sergeant. He was credited with
24 years, 3 months, and 25 days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
DFAS-RPB-TQAL/CL recommends the application be denied and states, in part,
that the applicant was credited with continuous service from 6 November
1967 to 1 March 1992.
The DFAS-RPB-TQAL/CL evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 16 May 2003 for review and response within 30 days. However, as of this
date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 first
enlistment is not calculated into his DD Form 214 and retired pay.
Applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, the office of primary
responsibility has reviewed his service total and determined that he has
been credited with continuous service from the date he began active duty (6
November 1967) until his retirement (1 March 1992). In the applicant’s
case, the DD Fm 214, as amended, issued in conjunction with his 29 February
1992 release from active duty and retirement, reflects 13 years, 10 months,
and 10 days of active service for the period covered by the DD Form 214, as
well as 10 years, 5 months, and 15 days of prior active service, for a
total of 24 years, 3 months, and 25 days. In view of this, and in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find that he has failed to sustain
his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice. Hence, we
find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
