Additionally, his occupation in Udorn AFB, Thailand was “42252.”

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of the 
decedent’s DD Form 214, AF Form 910, TSgt, SSgt, and Sgt 
Performance Report; Certificate of Death, and various other 
documents associated with her request.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The decedent served in the Regular Air Force from 24 Sep 1971 to 
23 Jun 1977.  His DD Form 214 reflects one year and one day of 
Foreign and/or Sea Service time.

?
In a letter to the applicant dated 13 Jan 2014, AFPC/DPAPP 
determined that the decedent had boots on the ground Foreign 
Service time at Udron Air Base, Thailand.  DPAPP requested the 
applicant’s DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect Indochina 
Service as “Yes.”

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIC recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
change the decedent’s Primary Specialty Number and Title.  DPSIC 
states that Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 42372 and the AFSC 
title (Aircrew Egress Systems Repairmen), captured on the 
decedent’s DD Form 214 were correct at the time of his 23 Jun 
1977 separation.  AFSC 42252 converted to 42352 effective 30 Apr 
1976.  The Military Personnel Data System output product 
Officer/Airman Separation Record dated 9 Jul 1977 from his 
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) record indicates his 
duty AFSC as 44352, as captured on his DD 214. 

The complete DPSIC evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 14 Feb 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant 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 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 relief beyond 
that already granted administratively is not warranted.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application.  We note the applicant requests copies of the 
decedent’s flight line badge and AF Form 899; however, the Board 
is not the custodian for the decedent’s master personnel 
records.  We recommend she contact the NPRC, 1 Archives Drive 
St. Louis, MO 63138, or via electronic mail at 
MPR.center@nara.gov for a copy of the decedent’s available 
records.

________________________________________________________________

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.
