The information on his DD Form 214 dated 20 June 2013 is
incorrect.
In support of the applicants appeal, he submits documents
extracted from his military personnel records.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant with prior service entered active duty in the
United States Coast Guard on 17 November 1971. He was honorably
released on 21 April 1972 due to the fulfillment of initial
active duty training. He served 5 months and 3 days on active
duty and credited with 2 months and 8 days of foreign and/or sea
service.
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 14 June 1999.
On 2 December 2012, the applicant was honorably released from
active duty and transferred to the Air National Guard in the
grade of master sergeant under the provisions of AFI 36-
3209 (Completion of Required Active Service). He served
15 years, 8 months and 28 days on active duty and credited with
no foreign or sea service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial. DPTS states per AFI 36-3202, Table
4, Rule 20 - total foreign service during continuous active
military service for ANG and Reserve members mobilized, are to
use those dates the member was actually deployed in the overseas
area of responsibility (AOR).
DPTS cannot correct item 12f due to the applicant not going
overseas or performing any sea service during the active duty
period of service from 14 June 1999 through 2 December 2012.
The DD Form 214 the applicant attached from the Coast Guard
shows his foreign/sea service.
The DPTS complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 3 July 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit
C). As of this date, no response has been received by this
office.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application is timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an 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 the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence of an error or injustice. Therefore, other than the
administrative corrections cited above, we find no basis to
recommend granting any additional relief sought in this
application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
