AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00430
INDEX CODE: 112.07
XXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 9 AUG 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect he served in the Regular Air Force
instead of the Air Force Reserves.
2. Block 15 on his DD Form 214, be corrected to show he contributed
to the post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education Assistance Program (VEAP)
and block 28 be changed to High Year of Tenure.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in the Air Force on active duty not in the Air Force
Reserves. His DD 214 should reflect he enrolled in VEAP and block 28
should be changed from high year of tenure.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of DD Form 214,
Report on Individual Person, DD Form 2366, Veterans/ Educational
Assistance Act of 1984 (GI Bill), and page 107 from AFPAM 36-2241,
Promotion Fitness Examination.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
17 Oct 1986 for a term of 4 years. He was progressively promoted to
the grade of sergeant (E-4).
On 24 October 1996, the applicant was released from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen (reduction in force), with a service characterized as
honorable.
He was issued a reenlistment eligibility code of “4D”, (Grade is
senior airman or sergeant, completed at least 9 years TAFMS, but fewer
than 16 years TAFMS, and had not been selected for promotion to staff
sergeant). He served 10 years and 18 days total active service.
On 22 February 2005, DPPAT notified the applicant that as evidenced by
the DD Form 2366 he included with his application, he elected to
enroll in the Montgomery GI Bill and block 15 does not require
correction.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states the applicant’s early
separation was in accordance with AFI 36-3208, paragraph 2.17 (Atch2).
The narrative reason for separation “reduction in force” and
separation program designator (SPD) “LCC” are correct. He was
entitled to and received full separation pay in the amount of
$15,868.80.
The discharge was within the discretion of the discharge authority,
the applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors
or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing, nor did he
provide any facts warranting a change to his DD Form 214.
The DPPRS 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
22 Feb 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 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 an error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however we agree with the opinions 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 regard to applicant’s request concerning
serving in the Regular Air Force, block 2 of his DD Form 214 reveals
that he served in the Regular Air Force. 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.
