         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-01023
            INDEX CODE:  135.02

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His total satisfactory years of service be corrected to  reflect  that
he has over  20  years  of  satisfactory  service  towards  a  Reserve
retirement.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His Navy DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from  Active
Duty, was destroyed in  the  St  Louis  Records  Warehouse  fire.   He
submitted alternate documentation to the Air Reserve Personnel  Center
(ARPC) to verify his creditable service and ARPC did  not  accept  the
alternate documentation as verification of his creditable service.

In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided copies of an  Air
Force  form  DD  214,  corrections  to  said  DD  Form  214,   several
enlistment/reenlistment  documents,   and   copies   of   an   earlier
application to change his record that was returned without  action  by
HQ ARPC/DPP.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the US Navy Reserve (USNR) on 19 March 1969  for
a period of six years.  On 23 June 1969, he joined  the  Regular  Navy
(USN) for a period  of  two  years.   On  1  September  1971,  he  was
honorably discharged from the USN and transferred to the USNR where he
served until 16 May 1973.  On 17 May 1973, he  joined  the  Air  Force
Reserve (AFR) and served until he was honorably discharged on  16  May
1976.  According to DD Form 1966, Record of Military  Processing-Armed
Forces of the United States, he had a break in  service  from  17  May
1976 until he rejoined the USNR on 28 September 1990.  He served  with
the USNR until 27 August 1997.   On  28  August  1997  he  joined  the
Michigan Air National Guard (MIANG) and continues to serve  with  them
today.  After recent corrections to his DD Form 214, his  service  has
been calculated and results in 19 years,  0  months,  and  0  days  of
satisfactory service as of 27 September 2004.  He is currently serving
with the MIANG in the grade of master sergeant.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPP recommends denial.  DPP states they were able to  obtain  the
applicant’s USN  and  USNR  prior  service  documentation,  originally
thought to have been destroyed by fire.  After a subsequent  audit  of
his service history, DPP could find no discrepancies.   The  applicant
has not provided any further documentation showing prior service  time
that has not been counted.  Therefore, DPP’s calculation of  19  years
of  satisfactory  service  as  of  27  September  2004  is  considered
accurate.

DPP’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
25 March 2005 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.  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  to
include his contention that his prior Navy and Naval  Reserve  service
were not been credited towards his satisfactory years of service.   In
this respect, we note the prior service records previously thought  to
have been destroyed were found and  the  applicant's  service  records
were corrected to reflect the prior Navy and  Naval  Reserve  service.
An audit of the applicant's service history was reaccomplished and  no
discrepancies were found. Therefore, we agree  with  the  opinion  and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary  responsibility  and
adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant
has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In the  absence  of
persuasive 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.
