RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00893
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His active duty tour in Afghanistan be documented on his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in Afghanistan from Nov 03-Apr 04 and his record is in
error because it is missing his combat and war time status. He
believes the Board should find it in the interest of justice to
consider his untimely application because he should get credit
for his combat service.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 7 Jun 00, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
On 6 Jun 04, the applicant received a honorable discharge, and
was credited with 4 years of active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. A review of his Master Personnel
Records and submitted documentation failed to provide
substantiation of foreign-service time in Afghanistan.
The complete 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 28 Mar 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. 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
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
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.
