AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00837
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be entitled to the Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Prior to his discharge in 1985 he took 15 days of leave and he
was granted a 13 day early release from the military in order to
attend college. He is aware that he did not complete the four
years of active duty requirement for this award. However, his
graduation from college in 1991 proves that his early release
was justified, and he now requests entitlement to the AFLSA.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty and a AFLSA fact sheet.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served on Active Duty from 30 Sep 1981 through
31 Aug 1985. He served 3 years, 11 months, and 2 days of active
service
The AFLSA is awarded to active duty service members of the
United States Air Force based on an aggregate of four years
honorable active federal military service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states the applicant
did not serve in the Air Force for a total of four years and
does not meet the criteria for the AFLSA.
The complete DPSIDR evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 11 May 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
________________________________________________________________
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.
________________________________________________________________
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.
