APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214 be corrected to show his Foreign Service time in
Korea.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He wanted to join the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), but his DD
Form 214 could not be excepted.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214
and a copy of a letter from the National Personnel Records Center
(NPRC).
Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s records were destroyed by fire at the National Personnel
Records Center (NPRC), in St. Louis, MO; therefore, the following
information has been extracted from the DD Form 214, provided by the
applicant.
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 Aug 54.
On 10 Feb 58, while serving in the grade of airman first class, he was
released from active duty under provisions of the Airman Release
Program and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He served three
years, six months and nine days on active duty. He served one year
and eight days of foreign and/or SEA service.
In a letter dated 26 May 05, NPRC informed the applicant that his
records may have been destroyed in the fire of 1973. He was also
informed that they needed the exact order issued to him at the time of
his departure to Korea and his return from Korea.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. The
applicant was informed that the exact order issued to him at the time
of his departure to Korea and his return from Korea were needed;
however, he did not respond. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no 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.
