INDEX CODE: 107.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 9 JUNE 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to show he was awarded the Air Force Longevity
Service Award (AFLSA).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should be awarded the AFLSA for his active duty service and Reserve
service combined.
In support of his request, the applicant submits his DD Form 215,
Correction to DD Form 214 Report of Separation from Active Duty; DD Form
214, Report of Separation From Active Duty; DD Form 256AF, Discharge
Certificate; an e-mail from the Military Personnel Flight; and NA Form
13059, Transmittal of And/Or Entitlement to Awards.
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 February 1973.
He was discharged with an honorable discharge on 2 December 1976. He served
3 years, 10 months and 3 days on active duty.
On 2 October 1980, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserves. On 11 September
1983 he was honorably discharged from the Air Force Reserves.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR recommends denial. DPPPR states the AFLSA is awarded to Air
Force members completing an aggregate of four years of honorable service.
DPPPR states there are no official documents in the applicant’s record
verifying he served for four continuous years. In addition, active duty
and reserve service time can not be combined to meet the criteria for award
of the AFLSA. therefore DPPPR recommends disapproval of the AFLSA.
The complete AFPC/DPPPR 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 22
December 2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the available
evidence and the applicant’s complete submission, the Board is not
persuaded that his records should be corrected to show he was awarded the
AFLSA. 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 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.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
