___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His military identification (ID) card be reinstated so that he can use
the military exchange and commissary to shop.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The military ID card he was issued upon his retirement has since expired,
and he has been refused a new one. His service connected injuries are
affecting his mobility. He has 21 years of honorable service. His
records indicate 19 years’ satisfactory service plus 2 years’ honorable
service. He never applied for disability and is now experiencing
problems. His records are incomplete. He was recently told his mobility
problems stemmed from an accident or accidents. The only accidents he
was involved in occurred while he was on active duty. In support of the
application, the applicant submits copies of documents excerpted from his
military personnel records, a copy of his VA patient data card, and a
copy of his expired military ID card
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Effective 1 March 1964, the applicant was assigned to the Retired Reserve
Section, in the grade of First Lieutenant. The applicant became eligible
to receive retired pay at age 60 on 25 March 1985. He was credited with
21 years of Honorable service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPP recommends denial. DPP states to establish eligibility for
Reserve retired pay a member must complete 20 years of satisfactory
Federal service and have the last 8 years of qualifying service in a
Reserve component. DPP notes the applicant only had 7 years, 4 months
and 27 days satisfactory Federal service creditable toward retired pay
eligibility.
DPP affirms prior to 1 July 1949, all Federal service is creditable
toward retirement and for this period the applicant completed 6 years, 4
months and 27 days. From 1 July 1949 to 29 February 1964, the applicant
earned 1 year of satisfactory service. DPP asserts since he does not
have 20 years of satisfactory service, he is not entitled to Reserve
retired pay or any benefits associated with it.
DPP states the applicant’s transfer to the Retired Reserve (Honorary) did
not entitle him to Reserve retired pay; however, it did allow him to
continue to hold his commission in the Air Force Reserve. His retirement
order did authorize an Armed Forces Identification Card at the time of
his retirement, but since the member is not entitled to Reserve retired
pay, the possession of the card would not have entitled the member to any
military medical benefits. The applicant’s military ID card expired on
25 September 1964 and it appears he never applied to renew the card after
that date. DPP explains the Honorary Retire Reserve was eliminated when
the old Department of Defense (DoD) directive that authorized the
Honorary Retire Reserve was revoked. It was replaced by a new DoD
instruction which no longer authorizes ID cards to the Honorary Retired
Reserve; therefore, the applicant is no longer eligible for an ID card.
DPP’s evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In response dated 20 June 2005, the applicant reiterated his earlier
contentions and disagreed with the recommendation of the Air Force office
of responsibility. His comments are 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 probable error or injustice. We have noted the detailed
evaluation of the applicant’s complaints by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility. Other than his own assertions, the applicant has provided
no evidence that successfully refutes their assessment of his case. In
view of the above and absent evidence by the applicant showing he is
eligible for a military identification card, we have no basis on which to
favorably consider his application.
___________________________________________________________________
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 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.
