RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01966
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited for service in the Republic of Korea.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His record does not reflect his service in Korea, in 1964, while
playing softball for bases in Guam and Korea. He believes this
was an oversight due to his playing softball for the Strategic
Air Command (SAC) base team. Without this correction he is
unable to join the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force, on 16 Jun 60,
for a period of four years.
The applicants Airman Performance Report (APR) rendered for the
period 17 May 62 through 16 May 63, reflects that he was a
member of the base softball team, in 1962, that was chosen to
play at the 15th Air Force Softball tournament, for which he
received a Letter of Appreciation (LOA).
On 15 Jun 64, he was honorably released from active duty by
reason of expiration of term of service. He was credited with
four years of active duty service. No foreign service time was
listed.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial, stating, in part, based on a lack
of evidence, they could not confirm the applicant was on
temporary duty (TDY) to Guam or Korea. After a thorough review
of his military records, they found no mention of any time
served in Guam or Korea. They sent the applicant a letter, on
20 Oct 11; however, he did not respond.
The complete AFPC/DPAPP evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 2 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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. Should the
applicant provide additional documentation, e.g., travel voucher
or orders, to substantiate his claim, we would be inclined to
reconsider his petition. In view of the above and in the
absence of persuasive 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
