the attached witness statement.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant
partial relief. In this respect, we note the applicant provided
a notarized witness statement corroborating his service in
Thailand. Although not conclusive, we find the evidence
sufficient to conclude the applicant served on a temporary duty
assignment in in Thailand from 18 Nov 66 to 18 Jan 67.
Therefore, in the interest of justice we recommend his record be
corrected to reflect “boots on ground” in Thailand. In view of
the above, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as
indicated below.
2. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice regarding the
applicant’s request to reflect his service in Vietnam, we did
not find any evidence the applicant served in Vietnam, as such,
this portion of his request is denied.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he had
“boots on ground” in Thailand from 18 Nov 66 to 18 Jan 67.
