APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be amended to reflect his Gulf War service.  

________________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He does not know why this information was left off of his DD 
Form 214.

consider his application for possible additional benefits in the 
future.   

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial.  The information provided by the 
applicant and a review of his master personnel records did not 
contain information that reflects he served in the Persian Gulf.  

The complete DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________ 



 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 24 Mar 14, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was provided to 
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  
As of this date, this office has not received a response.

________________________________________________________________ 

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 
failed to sustain his burden of proof that he has 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. 

________________________________________________________________ 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
