RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00803
INDEX CODE: 128.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 18 September 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited with three additional days of active duty to attain 22 years
of total active federal military service (TAFMS) which he had as a goal
before retiring.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Consolidated Base Personnel Office (CBPO) told him the three days
adjustment would be made; however, he never received a corrected DD Form
214, Report of Separation from Active Duty.
In support of his application, he provides a copy of his DD Form 214 and
his retirement order. The applicant’s complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force effective 3 October 1955 at
the age of 18 and remained on active duty until he voluntarily requested
retirement effective 1 October 1977. He was progressively promoted to the
grade of technical sergeant with a date of rank of 1 August 1973. The
applicant was released from active duty effective 30 September 1977 with an
honorable characterization of service and retired effective 1 October 1977.
He served 21 years, 11 months, and 28 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRRP recommends the application be denied. DPPRRP states the DD
Form 214 records a member’s actual TAFMS so, because the applicant did not
actually serve on active duty from 1-3 October 1977, his DD Form 214 does
not require a correction. As to the applicant’s contention that he had a
goal of reaching exactly 22 years TAFMS, his military personnel record
shows otherwise. His record contains a letter, dated 23 September 1976, in
which he requests reconsideration of his request made on 1 September 1976
to voluntarily retire effective 1 December 1976.
DPPRRP states there would be no difference in the applicant’s retired pay
if he had served the additional three days requested or an entire month
after 30 September 1977. To change his DD Form 214 to show three days of
active duty that the applicant did not serve would serve no purpose. The
AFPC/DPPRRP evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 21
April 2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Evidence indicates that the
applicant’s TAFMS was exactly 21 Years, 11 months, and 28 days. While the
applicant contends his intentions were to serve 22 years and the CBPO would
make the 3-day adjustment, he provides no evidence to support this
contention. The applicant believes he has been the victim of an error or
injustice; however, we find no evidence that would lead us to believe he
was treated differently from other similarly situated members. Therefore,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Accordingly, the applicant’s request is not favorably
considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

He was discharged on 7 January 1976 with a dishonorable discharged. The law that governs retirement of an enlisted member, in 1973, 1976 and today is 10 USC, section 8914 which requires an enlisted member of the Air Force to have at least 20 years Total Active Federal Military Service (TAFMS) in order to qualify for retirement. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the applicant’s complete submission, we find no evidence of error or injustice.

These were the minimum eligibility requirements to be considered by the promotion board but in no way ensured or guaranteed a promotion. DPPPEP has no way of knowing whether the promotion authority would have recommended the applicant’s promotion consideration during this cycle since the top report was a referral. In this respect, it appears the statements regarding the applicant’s supervisory performance were the basis for the contested reports.

On 1 May 1987, the applicant requested voluntary separation from active duty under Air Force Regulation (AFR) 39-10, paragraph 3-19, for hardship. The applicant, by virtue of having over 20 years TAFMS on 1 June 1987, could have requested a waiver (for hardship reasons) of his promotion ADSC in accordance with AFR 35-7, Service Retirements, in order to retire rather than separate on that date.
