RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05198
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be amended to reflect the following:

1.  Items 7(a) Place of Entry Into Active Duty, 7(b) Home of 
Entry Into Active Duty and 19(a) Mailing Address After 
Separation - Browns Mills, NJ – Administratively Corrected 

2.  Items 12(f) Foreign Service and 12(g) Sea Service - 2 months 
and 8 days.

3.  Item 12(h) Initial Entry Training Date - 17 November 1971 – 
Administratively Corrected

4.  Item 19(b) Nearest Relative add spouse’s name- 
Administratively Corrected


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The information on his DD Form 214 dated 20 June 2013 is 
incorrect.

In support of the applicant’s 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.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2013-05198 in Executive Session on 16 September 2014, 
under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:


The following documentary evidence was considered:

   Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 30 October 2013, w/atchs.
   Exhibit B.  Letter, ARPC/DPTS, dated 10 January 2014.
