RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05149
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Command Insignia Pin.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should be awarded the Air Force Command Insignia Pin for his tour of duty as the commander of the 67th Supply Squadron, 8 Mar 84 through 20 Jun 86.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Jun 66.
On 30 Jun 88, the applicant was released from active duty and retired, effective 1 Jul 88, and was credited with 22 years and 13 days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The Command Insignia was not established until 2002 and the applicant retired in 1988. Currently there are no provisions allowing retroactive awarding of the Air Force Command Insignia Pin. Additionally, the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence (i.e. copy of G-series orders, documentation proving he remained a commander for his entire tour) that he met the requirements for the Command Insignia Pin listed in AFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant submitted a letter contending that the information on his DD Form 214 and DD Form 149 should be sufficient proof and evidence that he was a squadron commander. Additionally, he provided copies of a decoration citation, with corresponding special order, and a United States Office of Military Cooperation Certificate of Appreciation as further proof he was a squadron commander (Exhibit E).
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely. Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.), §1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicants failure to file in a timely manner.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-05149 in Executive Session on 2 Oct 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
