RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04735 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His discharge date be corrected to reflect 15 Jun 1946, instead 
of 15 Jun 1945, and his service be corrected to reflect “Army 
Air Corps,” instead of “Army of the United States.” 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was discharged in 1946, not 1945, and was in the Army Air 
Corps, not just the Army. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
Certification of Military Service and correspondence related to 
the matter under review. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records were apparently 
located in the area most heavily damaged in the fire at the 
National Personnel Records Center in 1973. Documents provided 
by the applicant indicate he served on active duty with the Army 
of the United States 17 Jan 41 through 15 Jun 45. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD: 

 

After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the 
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely. 
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged 
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, 
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-
2603. The applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the 
delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises 


issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the 
merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of 
justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely 
manner. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD: 

 

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in 
the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is 
the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the 
application as untimely.
