COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect he served in Thailand
(administratively corrected) and Vietnam.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, does not reflect the locations of his
foreign service.
Since his DD Form 214 does not reflect he served in Thailand and
Vietnam the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) will not
acknowledge Agent Orange exposure.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 23 Sep 60, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
The applicants AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, reflects the
applicant served in Thailand from 3 Mar 63 to 14 Feb 64 and Japan
from 27 Apr 67 to 3 Jun 68.
On 20 Aug 68, the applicant was discharged and credited with seven
years, two months and six days of active service. He had one year
and one month of foreign service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an
error or an injustice noting after reviewing the applicants
military personnel records they were able to verify and confirm
boots on ground in Thailand and Japan. However, there was no
evidence provided or located in the applicants personnel records
to substantiate he served in Vietnam.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP 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 2 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 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 or injustice. 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
(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.
