                       COUNSEL:  None

                       HEARING DESIRED:  No

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  14 OCT 06

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect he was on temporary duty (TDY)  to
Ubon, Thailand.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His squadron was at Korat and he was sent TDY to Ubon for two  months.
They were there during a sappers attack in the winter of 1968-1969.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 September  1966,
as an airman basic (AB) for a period of four (4) years.

The AF Form 7 in applicant's records reflects he  served  in  Thailand
from 9 November 1968 through 9 November 1969.

The applicant was released from active duty on 4 September  1970.   He
served a total 4 years and 26 days of active duty service.  His DD 214
reflects one year and one month of foreign service.

HQ  AFPC/DPAPP  on  9  June  2005  requested  the  applicant   provide
documentation showing he was TDY to Ubon, Thailand.  The applicant did
not respond.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPAPP states there is  no  documentation  in  the  applicant’s
records that reflect he was TDY to Ubon, Thailand.   Furthermore,  the
applicant failed to respond to a request to provide  documentation  in
support of his  request.   Therefore,  they  recommend  the  requested
relief be denied.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
17 June 2005, for review and response.  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 an injustice.   We  took  notice  of  the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and the recommendation of  the  Air
Force and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or  an  injustice.   The
applicant's records do not reflect that he was TDY to Ubon,  Thailand.
The applicant’s performance reports reflect he  was  assigned  to  two
different squadrons both at Korat AFB, Thailand.   The  applicant  was
requested to provide any documentation to support his claim;  however,
as of this date, he has not provided any documentation to  verify  his
contention of being TDY  to  Ubon,  Thailand.   Should  the  applicant
submit such documentation, the Board would be willing to review it for
possible reconsideration.  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.
