    RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	 DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03387
		 	 COUNSEL:  NONE
   	 		 HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her records be corrected to show her Date of Enlistment (DOE) as 
26 Jun 1958.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her NA Form 13038, Certification of Military Service, reflects 
her DOE as 15 Sep 1958, which is incorrect.      

Her correct DOE is 26 Jun 1958 and she requests her records be 
corrected to ensure an accurate federal document and for 
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) benefits.

In support of her request, she provides copies of her NA Form 
13038, AF Form 186, Individual Record – Education Services 
Program; and marriage certificate. 

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to Special Order Number B-1110 dated 16 Sep 1958, the 
applicant entered active duty on 15 Sep 1958.

According to Special Order Number A-646 dated 2 Nov 1959, she 
was honorably discharged on 10 Nov 1959. 

In a letter dated 18 Mar 2003, AFPC/DPPAOR advised the applicant 
that the date she entered the Air Force was properly recorded as 
15 Sep 1958.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial.  DPSIPV found no error in the 
recording of her dates and the Certification of Military Service 
was not issued by the Air Force but the National Personnel 
Records Center.  Special Order Number B-1110, shows she enlisted 
in the Air Force and attended Basic Military Training on 15 Sep 
1958.

The complete DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit 
C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 13 Jan 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, this office has not received a response (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 the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  We note the AF 
Form 186, Individual Record – Education Services Program, 
provided by the applicant and verified by her Veterans Service 
Officer (VSO) shows a DOE of 26 Jun 1958; however, the AF Form 
186 is not a source document for DOE.   Special Order   B-1110 
dated 16 Sep 1958 shows the applicant’s DOE as 15 Sep 1958 and 
is the official source document for DOE.  Furthermore, NA Form 
13038, Certification of Military Service, also reflects DOE as 
15 Sep 1958.  The preponderance of the relevant evidence 
establishes 15 Sep 1958 as the correct DOE.  Therefore, 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.
