APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect his Vietnam service.
__________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
The applicant submitted a similar request dated 9 Jan 11. On
18 Oct 11, the Board recommended denial of the applicants
request because the evidence submitted did not substantiate his
claim; however, the Board agreed to reconsider the applicants
request if he could provide additional information such as a
travel voucher or a certified statement from a witness verifying
he was assigned duties in Vietnam during the period in question
(Exhibit E).
In his latest request, dated 28 Oct 11, the applicant submits a
copy of his travel orders validated and stamped by the Customs
277th Air Police Squadron at Tan Son Nhut Airbase, Republic of
Vietnam.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit F.
__________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing the evidence of record to include the
validated travel order, the Board is of the opinion sufficient
relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or an injustice warranting a correction to
the applicants record indicating he had boots on the ground
in Vietnam. Therefore, we recommend his 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 Airbase, Vietnam.
Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected as indicated
below.
