RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03035
		COUNSEL: NO
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty, issued in conjunction with his 31 May 90, 
separation for retirement, Block 12a, Date Entered Active Duty 
This Period be changed to May 70 versus 14 Jul 77. 

2.  He receive a copy of all his military and medical records.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DD Form 214 has his entry date of active duty as 14 Jul 77.  
The net active service this period is 12 years, 10 months and 
17 days.  His entry date is May 70 and his retirement date is 
1 Jun 90.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214. 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 5 May 70, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.  

He was issued DD Forms 214 for the following periods: 5 May 70 – 
2 Aug 73; 3 Aug 73 – 13 Jul 77; and 14 Jul 77 – 31 May 90.  He 
is credited with 20 years, 2 months and 12 days of active 
service. 

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial.  The applicant should have 
received a DD Form 214 for his prior active duty service.  
However, his military personnel record was not available from 
the National Personnel Record Center; therefore, DPSIPV was 
unable to verify whether the applicant’s service was continuous 
active duty from May 70.

The complete DPSIPV evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

He feels a typing error was made because he entered military 
duty on 5 May 70 and has evidence to prove and support his 
request.  

In further support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies 
of his DD Forms 214 issued in conjunction with his 2 Aug 73, 
13 Jul 77, and 31 May 90 separations, Retirement Orders, 
Statement of Service, and various other documents associated 
with his request.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.  The 
applicant requests his DD Form 214, issued in conjunction with 
his 31 May 90, separation for retirement, Block 12a, be changed 
to reflect 5 May 70; however, this date is properly recorded on 
his DD Form 214 issued in conjunction with his 2 Aug 
73 separation.  As such, we find no basis to disturb the record.  
Regarding the applicant’s requests for copies of his military 
and medical records, the AFBCMR is not the custodian for these 
records.  However, the applicant may obtain a copy by submission 
of a written request to the National Personnel Records Center, 
1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63138.  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.

    DPSIPV states that according to 10 USC, section 2126 the applicant will not be given active duty credit on his DD Form 214 because time spent in USUHS is not counted in determining eligibility towards retirement.

    The applicant’s AF Form 11, Officer Military Record, reflects foreign service from 28 Jan 68 to 1 July 68 for 155 days. While the applicant has not provided conclusive evidence of the exact length of time he was in Korea, it is our opinion that the available evidence appears to weigh more in favor of amending the applicant’s DD Form 214 to reflect his foreign service as requested.
