APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The following be corrected on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of
the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge):
1) His Temporary Duty (TDY) Assignment dates.
2) The Aircraft Schools he attended.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His TDY dates are missing from his DD Form 214 and the aircraft
schools he attended are not reflected.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served on active duty from 19 February 1960 to
18 February 1964 as an aircraft mechanic. The applicants
DD Form 214 reflects he completed 60 hours of training at the
Aircraft Mechanic (Jet Fighter) school.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial of the applicants request to
document the performance of temporary duty in his record. DPAPP
states the information provided in the Master Personnel Record
does not reflect the applicant had any foreign service.
The complete DPAPP evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
APFC/DPSIT recommends denial of the applicants request to
document the aircraft training courses he attended in his
record. DPSIT states the applicant has not provided proof of
course completion.
The complete DPSIT evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 9 September 2011, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit E). 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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of this case. However, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. Additionally, we note that the applicants
DD Form 214 already lists in block 28, under schools and
courses, the aircraft courses he completed. 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.
