RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01042
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect that he commenced his period of
active service on 30 Mar 81, instead of 30 Mar 85.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His service is not accurately recorded on his DD Form 214. His
EAD should be 30 Mar 81 thru 30 Oct 89, instead of 30 Mar 85
through 30 Oct 89 and he should have been credited with 8 years,
6 months, and 31 days of active service.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on
30 Mar 81.
On 30 Oct 89, the applicant was honorably discharged and was
credited with 4 years, 7 months, and 20 days of active service
and 3 years, 11 months, and 11 days of total prior active
service, for a combined total of 8 years, 7 months, and 1 day 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. A review of the applicants military
records indicates the active service is correctly recorded. In
1985, the Air Force transitioned from publishing a DD 214 after
every enlistment/reenlistment, to one publication upon
separation from active service. During that transition, two
methods of publication were used: 1) publish a DD 214 to capture
initial enlistment date for block 12a, 2) do a DD 214 that
captured the active time from the current DD 214 on file, record
active period for that timeframe in block 12c and record prior
active time from initial enlistment and reference the original
enlistment date and record all prior active time in block 12d.
In this situation, the second method was used to account for the
initial enlistment date. When computing time served in an
initial AF Specialty, AF Policy directs time be subtracted from
total time served to account for time as a student and record
subsequent years and months. The applicant served eight years
and seven months of service with eight years and four months
recorded in the specialty. The applicants DD 214 reflects the
date entered active service this period as 11 Mar 85 and in the
remarks section states the member had continuous active military
service from 30 Mar 81.
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.
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 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
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not 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 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.
