RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00773 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty, be corrected to reflect credit for four six-week 
periods of required active duty service performed as a 
participant in the Air Force Health Professions Scholarship 
Program (AFHPSP) from 10 July 1978 to 5 June 1982. 

 

2. His DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect his award of the Air 
Force Commendation medal (AFCM). (Administratively corrected) 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He should receive credit for the time he served on active duty 
while in Medical School. He was awarded the AFCM after his DD 
Form 214 was completed. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his 
Statement of Service; AFCM Special Order; Reserve Appointment 
Order; and his DD Form 214. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 26 April 2011, AFPC/DPSOY (Retirement and Separations After 
Action Branch) notified the applicant that his record was being 
corrected to reflect his award of the AFCM. 

 

The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s 
service record, are contained in the evaluation provided by the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C. 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial of the applicant’s request for 
active duty credit. DPSIPV states that based on the signed 
contract, the 45 day periods of active duty were a requirement 
during his enrollment in the HFHPSP. However, the time is not 
considered creditable service in determining retirement 


eligibility. Therefore, he is not entitled to receive active 
duty credit towards his total Federal active duty service. 

 

DPSIPV indicates the applicant was administered the Oath of 
Office as a Reserve Officer in the Medical Service Corps on 
10 July 1978 as a participant in the AFHPSP. He completed this 
program on 5 June 1982. As a participant in the program, each 
member is required to perform a 45-day active duty tour for each 
12 months of participation. The applicant signed his contractual 
agreement on 10 July 1978 indicating “I understand that while I 
am a participant in the AFHPSP I will: perform a 45-day tour of 
active duty for each 12 months of participation in the program.” 
It also states under the same statement of understanding that the 
member will “not receive credit for services performed in 
determining eligibility for retirement except for a physical 
disability incurred while on active duty as a member of the 
program.” 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 22 April 2011, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
D). 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 an 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 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.
