                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-04081
            INDEX CODE:  110.01

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her date of separation (DOS) be adjusted to give  her  four  years  of
creditable military service.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was discharged one day earlier than  her  Expiration  of  Term  of
Service (ETS) leaving her one-day shy of four years.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 5 February 1980 and was
honorably discharged as a sergeant (Sgt/E-4) on 3 February 1984.   Her
DD form 214, Certificate of Release or  Discharge  from  Active  Duty,
originally gave her 3 years, 11 months, and 30 days  of  service.   It
has since been corrected to read 3 years, 11 months, and 29 days.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  DPPRS notes that members  may  ask  for
separation on the last workday before the ETS if the ETS  falls  on  a
weekend or holiday.  This day would be the member’s DOS.  Members  who
do not ask for an ETS on the last  workday  before  the  ETS  will  be
separated on their ETS.  DPPRS has no documentation to indicate if the
applicant requested separation on the last  workday  before  her  ETS.
Therefore,  DPPRS  states  the  discharge  was  consistent  with   the
procedural and substantive requirements of  the  discharge  regulation
and within the discretionary powers of the  discharge  authority.   No
new evidence or any identification of  error  or  injustice  has  been
presented to warrant a change to her ETS.

DPPRS’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
30 January 2004 for review and comment within 30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law
or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice.  We note that  members  may  ask  for
separation on the last  workday  before  the  expiration  of  term  of
service (ETS), if the ETS falls on Saturday,  Sunday,  or  a  holiday.
Member’s who do not ask for ETS separation on the last workday  before
their ETS, will  be  separated  on  their  ETS.   While  there  is  no
documentation to indicate if applicant  requested  separation  on  the
last  workday  before  her  ETS,  in  order  to  preclude  a  possible
injustice, we recommend that the records  be  corrected  as  indicated
below.

______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was not discharged
from the Air Force on 3 February 1984, but  was  continued  on  active
duty until 4 February 1984, on  which  date  she  was  discharged  and
credited with four years of active duty service.
