                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05326

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected in Item 12d, “Total Prior Active Service,” to 
reflect all of his service time.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His final DD Form 214 for retirement does not include his 
additional service.  This impacts his retirement pay.  

In support of his request the applicant submits a copies of his 
DD Forms 214 and a copy of his DD Form 215, Correction to DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former commissioned officer of the Regular 
Air Force.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force at Exhibit C.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

1.  AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial.  DPSIPV states that prior to 
retiring, the applicant submitted a BCMR case requesting 
correction to his 30 Sep 2004 DD Form 214, items 12d (total 
prior active service) and 12e (total prior inactive service).  
The case was processed and approved by HQ ARPC/DPTS.  They 
awarded credit for active duty training for the periods from 
31 Jul 1996 through 13 Sep 1996 and from 29 Sep 1996 through 
12 Nov 1996.  A DD Form 215, was accomplished adding the 
additional active duty to item 12d and deducting the same amount 
of time for inactive service from item 12e.  However, the 
additional time was not credited to the applicant’s total active 
federal military service date (TAFMSD) while he was still 
serving on active duty as a Regular Air Force commissioned 
officer.  Therefore, the time was not accounted for on his 
30 Sep 2012, DD Form 214.  

2.  Based on documentation in the applicant’s records, he was a 
participant in the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship 
Program (AFHPSP) from 22 Nov 93 to 6 Jun 97.  His active duty 
training occurred during the time periods from 31 Jul 1996 
through 13 Sep 1996 and from 29 Sep 1996 through 12 Nov 1996. 
According to his AFHPSP contract, signed on 22 Nov 1993, 
paragraph 5b, states that he understood that there was a 
requirement by the member to perform one 45-day tour of active 
duty at a military base as directed by the Air Force for each 12 
months of participation in the program.  In accordance with 
Title 10, U.S. C., § 2126, service while in the program is not 
creditable in determining eligibility for retirement other than 
by reason of a physical disability incurred while on active duty 
as a member of the program or in computing years of service 
under Title 37, § 205, Pay and Allowances of the Uniformed 
Services.  

They recommend reversal of the previously approved addition of 
two months of active duty service to the applicant’s 30 Sep 2004 
DD Form 214 by ARPC/DPTS.  In accordance with Title 10, Section 
2126, this time was served as a requirement during his time in 
the HPSP program and is not considered creditable service 
towards retirement or longevity pay.  

The complete AFPC/DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C. 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 21 January 2013 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 timely filed.  

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 (OPR) and 
adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.   
With regard to the OPR’s recommendation for reversal of the 
previously approved addition of two months of active duty 
service to the applicant’s 30 September 2004 DD Form 214, it is 
not under the Board’s charter to issue a recommendation that 
will cause detriment to the applicant.  Therefore, we advise the 
OPR to address this request with the appropriate Air Reserve 
Personnel Center (ARPC) officials who are charged with 
processing the action.  In view of the above and 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.
