APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to reflect his service in
Korea.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He does not know why his service in Korea is not listed on his DD
Form 214, except, that it may have been recorded as Top Secret
assignments due to his graduation from Air Base Combat School.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of his
appeal.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served as an Air Policeman and was progressively promoted to the
rank of airman second class. According to his DD Form 230, Service Record, Section 4, Service Outside Continental United
States, the applicant served in Bremerhaven, Germany.
The applicant was honorably discharged from active duty effective
10 December 1957 after serving 3 years, 3 months, and 24 days on
active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states that after a thorough
review of the applicants service records, they found no evidence
of time served in Korea. They sent a letter to the applicant on
9 April 2010, asking for additional information; however, they
have not received a response as of the date of their advisory
opinion.
The complete DPAPP 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 28 May 2010 for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit
D). As of this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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 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.
