RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02595
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive foreign service credit for his service in Vietnam.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, is inaccurate because it does not reflect
time served in South Vietnam.
While stationed at Kadena Air Base, Japan he was sent to Da Nang
Air Base, Vietnam for 60 days between Jan 1966 and Mar 1966. He
never received TDY orders to go to Da Nang, only a message from
the 9th Weather Recon Group, Hawaii.
In support of his request, the applicant provides an expanded
statement and a copy of his DD Form 214.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________ ______________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate that he
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 24 Oct 1961, served at
Yokota Air Base, Japan from 23 Jan 1965 to 7 Oct 1966, and was
Honorably discharged on 11 Oct 1966.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants master personnel records, are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
responsibility which is included at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence
of an error or injustice. While his records indicate he was
credited with 1 year, 8 months, and 15 days of foreign service
due to his service in Japan, a review of his Master Personnel
Records and documentation submitted failed to provide any
documents that substantiate foreign service in Vietnam.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP 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 10 Nov 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 an 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 of the
Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) 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 for us to
recommend granting relief.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that 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.
