IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01927
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, be
corrected to reflect his foreign service in Vietnam and Korea.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He does not have TDY orders to support his request; however, he
believes his military records should show he was on temporary duty
from Yokota AB, Japan.
He does not provide any supporting documentation.
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 22 Apr 70. He
retired on 31 Dec 90 after serving over 20 years on active duty.
The applicants AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, does not mention
Vietnam or Korean service. The applicants performance reports do
not mention any service time in Vietnam or Korea.
AFPC/DPAPP sent the applicant a letter on 4 Oct 10 requesting some
type of source documents with his name on it that shows the actual
location and number of days served in Vietnam and Korea; however,
he did not respond.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states they were able to
verify the applicants assignments in Turkey, Japan, Turkey, United
Kingdom, and Germany; however, they could not verify any service
time in Vietnam or Korea. Therefore, DPAPP cannot support the
applicants request.
The DPAPP complete 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 15 Oct 10 for review and comment within 30 days. 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.
