APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, Item 24, Foreign and/or Sea Service, be
changed from 2 months and 28 days to 6 months and 10 days.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His Foreign Service dates should reflect 6 months and 10 days.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides his DD Form 214
and temporary duty (TDY) orders.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who was
honorably discharged on 28 February 1959. His DD Form 214
reflects he served 2 months and 28 days of Foreign Service. His
AF Form 23, Cumulative Foreign Service (TDY) Credits, reflects
he was TDY from 12 January 1958 through 9 April 1958 88 days.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. The applicants master personnel
record did not contain information reflecting he had any foreign
service.
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 25 January 2013 for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response
(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. After a
thorough review of the applicants submission in judging the
merits of the case, we are not persuaded that a change in the
record is warranted. Therefore, 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 has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In
the absence travel vouchers or supporting statements from fellow
service members with whom the applicant served, we find no basis
to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicants 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 issues 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.
