RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03036
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His military personnel records be corrected to reflect that he
was awarded the Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He intended to remain on active duty until 14 Dec 64, but was
released early for the convenience of the government. He then
served in the Air Force Reserve for a total of six years of
military service and therefore should be authorized to receive
the AFLSA.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate that he
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 15 Dec 60.
On 14 Sep 64, the applicant requested early release from active
duty and on 30 Sep 64, his request was approved.
On 22 Oct 64, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge
for the Convenience of the Government and transferred to the Air
Force Reserve. He was credited with 3 years, 10 months and
8 days of total active service. On 14 Dec 66, he was honorably
discharged from the Air Force Reserve.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. The AFLSA is based upon an aggregate of
four years of honorable active Federal military service with any
branch of the United States Armed Forces. Eligible personnel
include all members of the Air Force on active duty, all members
of the Reserve components not on active duty with the Air Force
who meet the criteria as well as all retired personnel who are
carried on the Air Force retired lists. However, the applicant
did not complete four years of active or reserve military
service before being released from active duty on 22 Oct 64,
rendering him ineligible for award of the AFLSA.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID 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 31 Oct 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
While the applicant argues that he should be eligible for the
requested award because he had attained six years of total
active and reserve service, he has presented no evidence that
would indicate that he performed a total more than four years of
active service during his service with the Regular Air Force or
while in the Air Force Reserve. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the relief.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES 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.
