AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-00600 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  YES 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
    
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His honorable discharge be changed to a Reserve retirement. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He was transferred to the Civil Air Patrol for two years which 
was not included in his satisfactory service credit. 
 
He  did  not  request  his  discharge  because  of  his  pending 
disability claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). 
 
In  support  of  his  request,  the  applicant  provides  a  personal 
statement, copies of his DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214 
Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge  from  Active  Duty;  DD  Form 
256AF,  Honorable  Discharge  Certificate;  AF  Form  526,  ANG/USAFR 
Point  Credit  Summary;  AF  Form  1887,  Request  and  Authorization 
for  Aeronautical  Orders,  DVA  Statement  of  Patient’s  Treatment 
and various other documents associated with his request. 
 
The  applicant's  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
On  31  Mar  2000,  the  applicant  was  honorably  discharged  in  the 
grade of lieutenant colonel (Lt Col, O-5) via Reserve Order CB-
67. 
 
According to DVA Statement of Patient’s Treatment, the applicant 
received a 100 percent service connected disability rating from 
the DVA. 
 
The  remaining  relevant  facts  pertaining  to  this  application, 
extracted  from  the  applicant's  available  military  records,  are 
contained  in  the  letter  prepared  by  the  appropriate  office  of 
the  Air  Force  Office  of  Primary  Responsibility  (OPR).  
Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to  recite  these  facts  in  this 
Record of Proceedings. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 
ARPC/DPTT  recommends  denial.    DPTT  states  under  Concurrent 
Retirement  and  Disability  Pay  (CRDP),  a  member  rated  at  least 
50 percent by the DVA can receive compensation from the DVA and 
not have that amount reduced from their military retirement.  To 
establish  eligibility  for  Reserve  retired  pay,  a  member  must 
complete  20 years  of  satisfactory  service.    However,  according 
to  DPTT  records,  the  applicant  did  not  complete  20  years  of 
satisfactory service; therefore, he is not eligible for Reserve 
retired pay or CRDP.  His military records indicate he completed 
17  years,  6  months,  and  15  days  of  satisfactory  service  as  of 
31 March 2000, the date of his discharge from the United States 
Air  Force  Reserves.    Documentation  to  show  he  participated  in 
the  Civil  Air  Patrol  is  not  available  and  not  included  in  his 
satisfactory service. 
 
The complete DPTT evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
On 20 Sep 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant 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 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  issue(s) 
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.
