RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02319
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record be corrected to waive his 28-day early-out (to attend
college) in order to qualify him for eligibility to receive the
Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of his discharge he had accumulated 60 days of
leave. This means he worked an additional 60 days compared to
those that used most or all of their leave time. He believes
the 60 days far exceeds the 28-day waiver he is requesting.
In support of his request, the applicant provided his DD Form
214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge, DD Forms 215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate
of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, a personal statement,
and a copy of HQ AFPC/DPSIDRAs response to his 6 May 2011
request for entitlement to the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award
with three Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters (AFOUA w/3 BOLC), the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal with one Bronze Service Star (AFEM
w/1BSS), the Korean Defense Service Medal (KDSM), and the Air
Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA).
His complete submission is at exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 July 1964.
On 7 June 1968 the applicant was released from active duty with
an honorable characterization of service. He served 3 years,
11 months and 2 days of which 2 years, 4 months and 17 days were
credited as Foreign and/or Sea Service.
The applicants DD Form 214 does not reflect award of the AFLSA.
The AFLSA is awarded to all service members of the U.S. Air
Force who complete 4 years of honorable active or reserve
military service with any branch of the United States Armed
Forces.
______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states after a complete
review of the applicants case and in view that he has only 3
years 11 months and 2 days of active duty service, they
recommend denial of his claim for award of the AFLSA.
The complete AFPC/DPSIDR evaluation is at exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 16 December 2011 for review and comment within 30
days. As of this date, this office has not received a 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. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
favorably consider 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.
