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 applicants service was continuous
active duty from May 70.
The complete DPSIPV evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANTS 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 applicants 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 applicants 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. In addition, Air Force Instruction 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank, defines EAD for the purpose of determining service dates as duty on the ADL of an armed service for 90 days or more. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF...
