         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-04206
            INDEX CODE:  100.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO



_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,  be
corrected to show she was on active duty while attending Officer  Training
School (OTS) from 6 January 1998 through 23 April 1998.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her DD Form 214 does not include her initial service when she  attended  OTS
in the grade of E-5.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of her enlisted  and
commissioned DD Forms 214, enlistment and separation documents.

Applicant’s complete submission is attached.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force in the grade of staff  sergeant
(E-5) for the purpose of attending OTS.  She graduated on 23 April 1998 and
received her commission on 24 April 1998.  She was  progressively  promoted
to the grade of captain effective and with a date of rank (DOR) of 24 April
2002.  She was released from active duty on 4 July 2002 after having served
for 4 years, 2 months, and 11 days.

She received a DD Form 214 when she was released from active duty as an  E-
5.  She received another DD Form 214 for her commissioned service.  Both DD
Forms 214 are considered correct representation and accounting of her  time
in the Air Force.  She received one for her enlisted duty and one  for  her
commissioned duty as they are considered two separate and distinct  periods
of service under different categories.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Air Reserve Personnel Center received this case for an advisory opinion
on 25 November 2008 and has failed to provide one.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has not 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  are
unconvinced an actual error or injustice has occurred  in  this  case.   At
separation, service members are issued a  DD  Form  214  documenting  their
active duty service for that time period.   Subsequent  periods  of  active
duty are accounted for on additional DD Forms 214 at the time of separation
from the service.  In the applicant’s  case,  she  served  in  an  enlisted
capacity while attending Officer Training School (OTS).  Upon completion of
OTS, she was separated from the AF as an enlisted member and  appointed  in
the Air Force  as  an  officer.   Additionally,  her  contention  that  her
enlisted time while attending OTS has not been  accounted  for  is  without
merit as her second DD Form 214 displays that  time  in  block  12d,  Total
Prior Active Service.  Consequently, both of her DD Forms 214 appear to  be
correct.  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.
