                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02515
            INDEX CODE:  135.02

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED: NO

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 11 months and 28 days (364 points) be changed to  a  good  year
for Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 19 Nov 76 and that it be  credited
as a year of satisfactory federal service toward retirement.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His 11 months and 28 days far exceeds the required 39 days that are
required in reserve status.  He has served his  country  faithfully
for over 20 years and feels the Board should amend  this  injustice
to enable him to receive 20 years of credit towards retirement  and
his 20 year notification letter in Nov 04.

In support of  his  appeal,  applicant  submitted  a  copy  of  his
ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary, dated 19 Jan 04.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the US Army  on  22  Nov  74,  he  was  later
released on 19 Nov 76, based on expiration term of enlistment.   He
was credited with 1 year, 11 months,  and  28  days  of  duty.   On
20 Nov 76, applicant transferred to the US Army Reserve  until  his
obligation was ended on 21 Nov 80.

Based on AF Form 526,  Point  Credit  Summary,  dated  19  Jan  04,
applicant was in civilian status from 22 Nov 80 to 11 Jul  85.   He
enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 12 Jul  85  and  served  until
13 Jun 89.  He was in civilian status again from 14  Jun  89  until
19 Nov 89.  He has had continuous satisfactory service in  the  Air
Force Reserve since 20 Nov 89,  and  has  completed  18  years,  11
months,  and  28  days  of  satisfactory  federal  service   toward
retirement.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ  ARPC/DPP  reviewed  this  application  and  recommended  denial
stating, in part, that to change applicant’s satisfactory  service,
his date of separation from the US Army would have to  be  changed.
The Air Force Reserve does not have the authority  to  correct  the
separation date on a USA DD Form 214.  DPP suggests  the  applicant
submit an application to the Department of the  Army  to  have  his
separation date changed.

A complete copy of the 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 27 Aug 04 for review and comment within 30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

___________________________________________________________________

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   warranting
favorable action on  the  applicant’s  request.   In  essence,  the
applicant is requesting his date of  separation  from  the  Regular
Army on 19 November 1976, be changed so that  he  may  be  credited
with a satisfactory year of federal service toward retirement.   In
view of this, we  agree  with  the  Air  Force  office  of  primary
responsibility that the applicant should pursue this issue  through
the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.

___________________________________________________________________

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.
