RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01323
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect his service in the Republic
of Korea.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served 28 days of temporary duty (TDY) in Taegu, Korea. His
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, incorrectly reflects no Foreign Service.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214 and a TDY order.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served on active duty from 16 November 1979 to 15 November 1983.
He served as a Tactical Aircraft Maintenance Specialist and was
progressively promoted to the grade of sergeant (E-4) with a
date of rank of 1 December 1981. He was honorably released from
active duty effective 15 November 1983 for expiration of term of
active obligated service. He served 4 years on active duty.
On 17 May 2011, AFPC/DPAPP notified the applicant that they were
unable to verify his service in the Republic of Korea. DPAPP
requested any personal records that affirmed his service there;
i.e., travel vouchers, evaluation reports, letters of
evaluation, decorations, or any other official military
documents that reflected service in the contended area.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states that although the
applicant provides a copy of a TDY order to Korea, it does not
prove he actually went there or, if he went, how long he was
there. After a thorough review of his military records, there
is no mention of him serving any time in Korea.
The complete DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was mailed to the applicant
on 30 September 2011, for review and comments within 30 days.
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 error or 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 that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. If the applicant
is able to provide any source documents, (i.e., travel vouchers,
evaluation reports, letters of evaluation, decorations, witness
statements, sworn affidavit, etc.) to verify his service in
Korea, the Board would reconsider his request. However, 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.
