RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-01420
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

	 

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, be 
corrected to include his Vietnam service.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DD Form 214 reflects Thailand and would like his record to 
properly identify his service at Vietnam.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
AF Form 899 and a copy of his DD Form 214.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. 

________________________________________________________________
_

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the DD Form 214 provided by the applicant, he 
enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 19 Mar 70 and was 
honorably discharged on 13 Dec 73 after serving 3 years, 
8 months, and 24 days on active duty.  He was credited with 
1 year of foreign service.  

________________________________________________________________

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 
careful notice of the applicant’s complete submission in support 
of his request and the evidence of record in judging the merits 
of the case and believe that the applicant did not submit 
sufficient evidence to overcome the presumption of regularity 
concerning his Vietnam service.  Therefore, in the absence of 
persuasive 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.
