should end with 56 verses 57 and his numerous Temporary
Duties to Korea.

The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Mar
69.
On 8 Jan 73, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge,
and was credited with 3 years, 9 months, and 21 days of active
service. His type of transfer or discharge Release from Active
Duty and Reenlistment Code 1.
On 23 Apr 14, AFPC/DPSIRP notified the applicant that a review
of his record revealed several source documents that confirmed
the service number on his DD Form 214 was incorrect. On 9 May
14, a DD Form 214/215 Action Order was accomplished for
AFPC/DPSOR to correct the applicants DD Form 214. This will be
accomplished upon conclusion of the Boards decision.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. A review of the applicants Master
Personnel Record and documentation provided failed to provide
any substantive Foreign Service time in Korea.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP 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 19 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 warranting
correction of the applicants records to reflect his service in
Korea. We took notice of the applicants 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error
of injustice. We note the Air Force OPR has determined the
applicants service number is incorrect and will correct his
records administratively. Therefore, in the absence of evidence
to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the
requested relief.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
