RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04554
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, section 18, Remarks, reflect that he entered the Air Force
in the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) in May 75.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
This date would entitle him to more Department of Veterans (DVA)
benefits.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214 and DD Forms 4, Enlistment Contract-Armed Forces of
the United States.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 5 May 75, the applicant entered the DEP. He was credited
with 3 months and 17 days of total prior inactive service.
On 22 Aug 75, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
He was credited with five years and nine months of total active
service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. Governing DD Form 214 directives
and policies do not authorize a DEP statement on the 214. DoDI
1336.01, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty
(DD Form 214/215 Series), states the intent of the DD Form
214 is to provide the Military Services with an authoritative
source of personnel information for administrative purposes, and
for making enlistment or reenlistment eligibility
determinations. The information on the DD Form 214 is a
snapshot of time for a period it was published and not subject
to change so to meet evolving wants, needs or data
interpretations by individuals or agencies.
The applicants participation in the DEP is accurately reflected
in block 12e, Total Prior Inactive Service (22 Aug 75 minus
3 months and 17 days equals 5 May 75).
The applicant failed to provide any evidence the document was
published in error.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANTS 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
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. 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 and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion 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.
