AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04365
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect he served in Vietnam and the
Philippines (Philippines service administratively corrected).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in Vietnam and the Philippines in December, January and
February of 1968.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
documents extracted from his military personnel records.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants records reflect that he served on active duty from
26 Aug 65 to 21 Dec 68, with 11 months and 19 days of Foreign
Service.
The applicants performance report for the period 27 Aug 67
through 5 Jun 68 states the applicant was sent to Tan Son Nhut AB,
Republic of Vietnam (RVN) for 30 days.
Special Order No. T-327 reflects the applicant was authorized
Temporary Duty (TDY) in the Philippines from 5 Feb 68 for 21 days;
and Special Order No. T-109 reflects the applicant was authorized
TDY to the Philippines from 31 Jul 68 for 15 days.
On 1 Feb 11, AFPC/DPAPP informed the applicant they were able to
confirm he was assigned in the Philippines and TDY in Vietnam.
However, the DD Forms 1351-2, Travel Voucher or Subvoucher, was
illegible and requested the applicant provide a legible copy in
order to determine the amount of time he was in Vietnam.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPAPP states they were able to confirm boots on ground for
the Philippines, but was unable to verify his service in Vietnam.
DPAPP requested the applicant provide legible documentation to
substantiate his service in Vietnam. The applicant did not
respond. DPAPP recommends the Board review documentation to
determine whether it warrants approval of Vietnam service.
The complete AFPC/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 6 May 11, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence presented, we believe a reasonable basis exists to
conclude the applicant served in Vietnam. In this respect, we
note that his performance report closing 5 Jun 68 reflects he was
sent to Tan Son Nhut AB, RVN for thirty days. In view of the
above, and in recognition of his service to the Nation, we
recommend the applicants 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 had boots on
the ground in Tan Son Nhut AB, Vietnam, for 30 days.
