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 Veterans 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
applicants 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.
