RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05261

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) be changed from 21 Mar 89 to 13 Oct 87 to include credit for the time he spent in Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corp (AFROTC).



APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His service date was incorrectly computed.  He served in the Air Force Reserve during the period 23 Aug 85 through 30 Jan 87 for a period of one year, five months, and eight days, but he was not given credit for this period of time when his TAFMSD was calculated.  

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



STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered the Air Force Reserve and attended AFROTC during the period 28 Aug 85 through 30 Jan 87, but on that date was disenrolled from AFROTC and discharged from the Air Force Reserve.  

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 12 Mar 89.

On 26 Sep 01, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, with a Narrative Reason for Separation of “Commissioned or Warrant in Same Branch of Service.”  Block 12e of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, incorrectly reflected 3 years, 6 months, and 28 days of Total Prior Inactive Service. 

On 31 Oct 13, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, with a Narrative Reason for Separation of “Voluntary Retirement,” and was credited with 24 years, 7 months, and 10 days of Total Active Service.  Block 12e of his DD Form 214 again incorrectly reflected 3 years, 6 months, and 28 days of Total Prior Inactive Service. 

On 16 Dec 13, AFPC/DPSIV directed the applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 26 Sep 01, be corrected to change Block 12e to read “one year, five months, and eight days” of Total Prior Inactive Service. 

On 13 Jan 14, AFPC/DPSOR directed the applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 31 Oct 13, be corrected to change Block 12e to read “one year, five months, and eight days” of Total Prior Inactive Service. 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    



AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  Service time spent in AFROTC is only creditable as inactive service and has no effect on his total active federal military service date (TAFMSD).  The applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve Obligated Reserve Service (ORS) in order to attend AFROTC.  He attended AFROTC during the period 28 Aug 85 through 30 Jan 87.  He then disenrolled from AFROTC and was discharged.  He enlisted in the Regular Air Force (RegAF) on 21 Mar 89, and was later commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on 27 Sep 01.  

The applicant was furnished two DD Form 214s on which he was given too much inactive duty credit for the period of time he attended AFROTC.  He actually disenrolled from AFROTC on 30 Jan 87, but was incorrectly credited with inactive duty time through 20 Mar 89, the day before he enlisted in the RegAF.  Both of his incorrect DD Form 214s have been administratively corrected to reflect his correct inactive service time.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPV evaluation is at Exhibit C.



APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 9 Jun 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  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 was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.



THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material 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-2013-05261 in Executive Session on 23 Oct 14 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

    DPSIPV states that according to 10 USC, section 2126 the applicant will not be given active duty credit on his DD Form 214 because time spent in USUHS is not counted in determining eligibility towards retirement.
