                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-00607
            INDEX CODE:

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
be corrected to reflect the Desert Shield/Desert Storm deployment.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She served in Desert Shield/Desert Storm.  This information and ribbon
type is not listed on her DD Form 214.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of her DD Form 214.

Applicant's complete  submission,  with  attachment,  is  attached  at
Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

All attempts to  locate  the  applicant’s  master  military  personnel
records were unsuccessful.  From the separation document  provided  by
the applicant, it appears that she was a member of  the  Air  National
Guard who performed active duty in the grade of sergeant (E-4) from  1
September 1990 until 2 December 1990, on which date, she was honorably
released from active duty and transferred to the Air  National  Guard.
She had served three months and one day on  active  duty  during  this
period.  The applicant indicates  she  was  discharged  from  the  Air
National Guard in October 1992.

_________________________________________________________________


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPRFQ recommends denial of applicant’s request.  On 4 March 2004,
a  letter  was  sent  requesting  additional   information   to   show
participation in Desert Shield/Desert Storm to include travel vouchers
or deployment orders.  The documentation that was requested was  never
received to reflect the Desert Shield/Desert Storm deployment.

A complete copy of the evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 23 April 2004, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded  to
the applicant for review and response 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 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.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for  the  conclusion  that  the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.   We  note
the applicant did not respond  to  the  letter  requesting  additional
information to  show  participation  in  Desert  Shield/Desert  Storm.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we  find  no
compelling basis to recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in  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.

________________________________________________________________
