AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01145
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect a temporary duty (TDY)
deployment to Nakhon Phanom, Thailand in 1974.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His records reflect he has never been TDY his entire career;
however, his AF Form 910, TSgt, SSgt, and Sgt Performance Report
during the period 1 Sep 74 through 1 Mar 75 states he was “TDY
to a remote location and was commended for doing an outstanding
job.”
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of AF
Form 910, Chronology of Service Assignments Listing, and a
Report of Individual Personnel (RIP).
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 19 May 71, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
He served 20 years, 8 months, and 12 days of active duty service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states the applicant has a
performance report from 1 Sep 74 through 1 Mar 75 that states he
was TDY to a remote location; however, there is nothing in his
records that indicates where the remote location was.
The complete DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
1
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 8 Jun 12 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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 office of primary responsibility (OPRs) and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. We note the applicant
provided a copy of his performance report during the period
1 Sep 74 through 1 Mar 75, which indicates he was TDY to a
remote location; however, without evidence that confirms where
the remote location was, we are unable to confirm a TDY to
Thailand. Should the applicant provide evidence such as travel
vouchers or TDY orders in support of his appeal, we would be
willing to reconsider his request. 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.
