IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to show he was in Vietnam for four
months.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Report of Transfer or Discharge, does not show
his duty in country.
In support of his request, the applicant provides his DD Form
214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge, and Temporary Duty (TDY) Orders.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was enlisted in the Regular Air Force from 18
April 1961 to 8 November 1963. His AF Form 7, Airman’s Record,
reflects
Germany.
Documentation provided by the applicant indicates the applicant
was placed on TDY orders from Clark AB, Philippines to Det 14,
APO 146 and returned to Clark AB. He was to proceed on 28 April
1962 for 30 days. The number of days was ultimately amended
from 30 to 105.
A Letter of Evaluation in the applicant’s records for the period
of 1 May 1962 to 1 August 1962 indicates he was under the direct
supervision of the evaluator for approximately 90 days. The
evaluator’s signature block shows he was the Maintenance
Supervisor at the 6012th AB Squadron, Thailand.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. After a thorough review of the
applicant’s records, they were unable to confirm he spent any
time in Vietnam.
The complete 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 20 June 2012 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no
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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission and the available
evidence of record 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’s records do not
reflect he spent time in Vietnam. In the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The applicant be notified 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.
