AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00038
IN THE MATTER OF:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect his time served in support of
OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM and any campaign medals awarded.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The proper information for time served in support of OPERATION
ENDURING FREEDOM has been omitted from his DD Form 214. He
needs the updates included on his DD Form 214 so he may receive
proper and appropriate benefits.
The applicant did not provide any documentation in support of
his request.
The applicant’s complete submission is at exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served from 22 March 1995 to 27 December 2002. He was released
from active duty with an honorable characterization of service
and was credited with 7 years, 9 months and 6 days of active
duty service of which 3 months and 6 days was credited as
Foreign Service.
The applicant’s DD Form 214 does not reflect time served in
support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM or award of any campaign
medals.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states a review of the
applicant’s master personnel records (MPR) and documentation
submitted failed to provide any documents that substantiate
foreign service time during Operation ENDURING FREEDOM.
Numerous documents in the applicant’s MPR indicate deployments
but none specifically reflect Operation ENDURING FREEDOM.
The complete 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 26 March 2012 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). To 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
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
