RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02089
            INDEX CODE:  135.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be credited with completing two years of active duty in  the  Air  Force
Reserve or a note in the  remarks  section  of  her  DD  Form  214  be  made
indicating she completed four years in the Air Force Reserve.

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

On 28 July 1982, she enlisted in the  Air  Force  under  the  Delayed  Entry
Program and on 23 November 1982 she entered active  duty.   She  volunteered
for and was released under the  PALACE  CHASE  program.   Consequently,  her
military service obligation was extended from two  to  four  years.   On  14
September 1984, she was released from active duty.   On  22  November  1988,
she completed her military obligation and was honorably discharged from  the
Air Force Reserve.

In support of her application, she provides a personal statement, a copy  of
her DD Form 214 and a copy of her AFRES Form 116, Request and  Authorization
for Discharge and Enlistment/Reenlistment of Air Force Reserve  Airmen.  Her
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

__________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Records indicate that on 14 September  1984,  the  applicant  was  honorably
released from active duty and transferred to the Air Force  Reserve  in  the
grade of senior airman (E-4) under  the  provisions  of  AFR  35-46  (PALACE
CHASE).  At the time of her release she had served 1 year, 9 months  and  22
days  on  active  duty.   Attempts  to  obtain  Air  Force  Reserve  records
pertaining to the applicant were unsuccessful.

__________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRSR recommends  the  application  be  denied.   DPPRSR  states  that
service in a Reserve component does  not  constitute  regular  active  duty.
The AFPC/DPPRSR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant requests that the Board review her case  as  a  unique  situation.
She is requesting credit for her active duty time served while  in  the  Air
Force Reserve.  Applicant’s letter 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.  After reviewing the  evidence  of  record,
we are not persuaded the applicant’s records are in error or  that  she  has
been the victim of an injustice.  Then, as  now,  the  governing  regulation
provided for the issuance of DD Forms 214 to document completion of  periods
of active duty service that met the requirements set forth in the  governing
regulation.  Based on the above, adding any service performed subsequent  to
14 September 1984  to  her  DD  Form  214  issued  on  that  date  would  be
inappropriate.  Had the applicant completed any  subsequent  active  Reserve
service that met the statutory and regulatory requirements, she should  have
been issued additional DD Form(s) 214 for those periods of  service.   Other
than her own assertions, she has provided no evidence indicating  Air  Force
Reserve authorities erred by not issuing  additional  DD  Form(s)  214.   In
view of all the above, an in  the  absence  of  evidence  by  the  applicant
showing the contrary, her request for additional active duty service  credit
is not possible.

__________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the  application
was denied and that the application  will  only  be  reconsidered  upon  the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not  considered  with  this
application.
