RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00689
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded the Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA).
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The AFLSA is missing from his DD Form 214, Report of Separation
from Active Duty.
In support of the applicants appeal, he provides a personal
statement, a copy of his DD Form 214, a copy of his DD Form 256,
Honorable Discharge Certificate and other documentation.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 August 1976, the applicant was honorably released from
active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He served
3 years, 8 months and 8 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the AFLSA. DPSID states after a
thorough review of the applicants master personnel record, they
were able to verify award of the Non-Commissioned Officer
Professional Military Education Graduate Ribbon.
The AFLSA is awarded to all members of the United States Air
Force who complete four years of honorable active or Reserve
military service with any branch of the United States Armed
Forces.
DPSID was unable to verify award of the AFLSA. According to
official documentation in the applicants record, the applicant
served on active duty for a total of three years, eight months
and eight days. The applicant did not complete four years of
active duty or reserve military service before being released
from active duty rendering him ineligible for the award.
The DPSID complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he has been informed by the Veterans
Service Organization that his service record spanned from the
period of 7 November 1972 through 7 November 1978 as indicated
on his DD Form 256.
The applicants complete response is at Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 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 and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. As a
matter of information, we would like to point that a DD Form
214 captures a members active duty service and a DD Form
256 captures a members total service active duty time and
Reserve obligation.
________________________________________________________________
_
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.
