APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214 reflects Thailand and would like his record to

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 applicants 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.
