STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the applicants NGB Form 22, National Guard Bureau
Report of Separation and Record of Service, he served from
25 January 1996 to 14 June 2003 (7 years, 4 months, and 20 days)
in the Illinois Air National Guard. He was progressively
promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5) with a date of rank
of 21 September 2000. According to a DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, provided by the applicant,
he served from 23 February 2002 to 4 July 2002 on active duty in
support of OPERATION JOINT FORGE, for a total of 4 months and
12 days.
ARPC/DPSVT contacted the applicant twice by email and once by
letter requesting copies of orders or travel vouchers to support
his request. In response, the applicant provided a DD Form 214
for the period 23 February 2002 to 4 July 2002.
_________________________________________________________________

ARPC/DPSVT recommends denial. DPSVT states that based on the
information provided by the applicant in his initial request,
they were unable to verify evidence to support his request.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In response to the Air Force evaluation, the applicant provided a
copy of his DD Form 214 for the period 23 February 2002 to 4 July
2002.
A copy of the applicants complete response, with attachment, is
at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice to provide partial relief. We
note the applicant asserts he completed three tours of active duty
over 90 days each to qualify for Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits;
however, based on the evidence of record and the submitted
documentation, he served only one tour of active duty over 90 days
(23 February 2002 to 4 July 2002) subsequent to 11 September 2001.
ARPC/DPSVN was able to confirm the applicant had a total of 145
days of active duty service since 11 September 2001. This
qualifies the applicant to apply to the Department of Veteran
Affairs for Chapter 33, Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. Therefore, we
recommend the records be corrected as indicated below.
______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he served on
active duty from 23 February 2002 to 4 July 2002.
