RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05435
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  YES

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to show service during the Gulf War.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She served during the Gulf War and would like this included on 
her DD Form 214.

Her DD Form 214 as it currently stands precludes her from 
receiving a 5-point Veteran’s Preference when applying for civil 
service employment.

Her DD Form 214 is illegible and extremely difficult to read.

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her 
DD Form 214.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________
_

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served on active duty in the Regular Air Force 
from 24 Mar 87 to 23 Dec 91.  Her DD Form 214 does not reflect 
any Foreign Service. 

AFPC/DPSOR will issue the applicant a new DD Form 214 since her 
copy is illegible.

________________________________________________________________
_

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial.  DPAPP states that a review of the 
applicant’s master personnel records (MPR) and evidence 
submitted failed to provide any documentation that would 
substantiate Foreign Service in the theater of Operation DESERT 
SHIELD/STORM.  

The complete DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 14 Apr 13, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
C).  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 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 and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  The applicant has 
indicated that her DD Form 214 is illegible; AFPC has advised 
they will provide the applicant a replacement DD Form 214.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application.

4.  The applicant's 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 issue 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.
