AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00187
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, Block 12c (Net Active Service this Period),
accurately reflect 4 years, 9 months and 20 days.
2. He be entitled to the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon
(SAEMR).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His record is incomplete and inaccurate because the information
in blocks 13 (Decorations, Medals, Badges, Citations, and
Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized) and 14 (Military
Education) are missing. Information in block 12c (Net Active
Service this Period) is improperly calculated, and the address
in block 19b (Nearest Relative) is incorrect.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 Jan 2006, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force and
on 14 Oct 2011, he was dishonorably discharged due to a court-
martial. He served 2 years, 2 months, and 6 days of active
duty. The period 30 May 2008 through 14 Oct 2011 is recorded as
lost time on his DD Form 214.
The applicant was provided a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form
214, to add the Vehicle Operator Apprentice Course and to
correct the mailing address of his nearest relative.
The SAEMR is awarded to all Air Force service members who, after
1 Jan 1963, qualify as "expert" in small arms marksmanship with
either the M-16 rifle or issue handgun.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDRA recommends denial of the applicant’s request for
entitlement to the SAEMR. DPSIDRA states after a thorough
review of his official personnel record and provided supporting
documentation, they were unable to locate AF Form 522, USAF
Ground Weapons Training Data, reflecting the applicant qualified
as expert with either the M-16 rifle or issue handgun, or a
Special Order authorizing his entitlement to the SAEMR.
The complete DPSIDRA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 19 Dec 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
D).
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice regarding the
applicant’s request that he be entitled to the SAEMR. 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 not been the victim of an error or injustice.
With respect to his request for correction of his DD Form 214,
item 12c, we note in a letter to the applicant dated 15 Mar
2012, AFPC/DPSOY states the lost time the applicant incurred
during his incarcerations between 20 Mar 2008 and 14 Oct 2011 is
accurately reflected on his DD Form 214. In view of this and
since a period of incarceration is not creditable service time,
the total active service reflected on his DD Form 214 is
correct. Therefore, in view of the above and in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
