RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00391
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be credited with six years, two months, and five days of
total active service on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from Active Duty.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His total active service time was calculated incorrectly upon
his retirement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 22 Jan 80, the applicant was furnished an honorable
discharge, and was credited with six years, three months, and
five days of total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The applicant provided no
documentation to support his contention his total active service
time was computed incorrectly. A review of the applicants
official military record reflects he served on continuous active
duty during the period 22 Sep 73 through 22 Jan 80. His
DD Form 214 reflects six years, three months, and five days of
active service. This is confirmed by adding his two years and
four months of net active service this period to the 3 years,
11 months, and 5 days of prior active service, resulting in the
six years, three months, and five days of active service
currently reflected on his DD Form 214. During the review of
the applicants DD Form 214, an error unassociated with the
applicants current request was identified. A statement in
block 18 referencing an extension should read Continuous
Honorable Active Military Service from 17 Oct 73 through
21 Sep 77. The identified error will be rectified through
administrative correction.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 28 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10,
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction
36-2603. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the
delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises
issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the
merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of
justice to excuse the applicants failure to file in a timely
manner.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as
untimely.
