                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03156
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  Her date of entry in the USAF be changed to 1 Nov 80 rather 
than 2 Apr 81.

2.  Her Date of Separation (DOS) be changed to 31 Oct 86 rather 
than 7 Jul 81.  

________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Based on her enlistment and separation documents her entry date 
and DOS are in error.

These errors are preventing her from receiving Department of 
Veterans Affairs (DVA) and other benefits.  

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of her 
DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of 
the United States, dated 1 Nov 80; DD Form 214, Certificate of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued on 7 Jul 81, and 
her Honorable Discharge Certificate, dated 31 Oct 86.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 1 Nov 80, the applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard 
(ANG) for a period of four years.  

On 2 Apr 81, the applicant was placed on Extended Active Duty 
(EAD) for her Initial Active Duty for Training (IADT) tour to 
complete Basic Military Training (BMT) and technical school 
training.  On 7 Jul 81, she was released from active duty with a 
reason for separation of completion of IADT.

On 2 May 82, the applicant was discharged from the Rhode Island 
ANG (RIANG) and transferred to the Air Force Reserve Individual 
Ready Reserve (IRR).  Her service was characterized as Under 
Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC) with a reason for 
separation of unsatisfactory participant in scheduled training.  

On 31 Oct 86, the applicant was honorably discharged from the 
USAF after completing her six year military service obligation.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PP recommends denial, stating, in part, that they did not 
find the DD Form 214 to be in error.  The DD Form 214 accurately 
reflects the limited period of active duty annotated on the 
Point Credit Accounting Reporting System (PCARS) report for the 
same dates.  Furthermore, the DD Forms 2l4 are not utilized in 
the ANG to record the entire ANG enlistment period.  

In accordance with AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, Chapter 2, 
Table 2, Rule 1; Issue a DD Form 214 for a period of active 
duty, active duty for training, full-time training duty, a 
special tour of active duty, active duty for special work, or an 
Active Guard/Reserve (AGR) tour.

The applicant submitted a DD Form 214 and while her entire ANG 
time is supported by her enlistment document, and Discharge 
Certificate, only certain periods of active duty are authorized 
to be entered on the DD Form 214.  Furthermore, her PCARS has a 
period of active duty from 2 Apr 81 to 7 Jul 81 which matches 
her submitted DD Form 214 in Blocks 12a and 12b.

Having complied with the AFBCMR directive and the governing 
directive, there is no evidence to support the applicant’s 
claim.

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 10 Jan 14 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 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 Reserve 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 
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.
