            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
Item 14, be changed to show he completed Avionics  Navigational  Aides
Technician and the Aerospace Ground Equipment Specialist courses.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The DD Form 214 does not reflect his training  and  an  administrative
error must have occurred.

In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a copy of his DD  Form
214.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic  on
12 May 72.  On 24 Jun 80, he was placed on  the  Temporary  Disability
Retired  List  (TDRL)  with  a  diagnosis  of  schizophrenia,  chronic
undifferentiated.  On 12 Mar 84, he was  removed  from  the  TDRL  and
permanently retired with  a  disability  rating  of  100 percent.   He
served 8 years, 1 month and 11 days total active service.

His record reflects his primary Air Force  Specialty  Code  (AFSC)  as
328X1, Avionic Navigation Systems Specialist and his secondary AFSC as
423X5, Aerospace Ground Equipment Repairman.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial.  DPSIT states,  the  applicant  did  not
provide  proof  of  course  completion.   DPSIT  requested  additional
documentation or evidence from the applicant to show he completed  the
courses and he did not respond.

The DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
12 Oct 07, for review and comment within 30 days.  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  injustice  to  warrant  awarding  the
requested  relief.   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.
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.
