			COUNSEL:  NONE
	
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to reflect his deployment to Incirlik Air 
Base, Turkey in support of Operation DESERT STORM.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey in support of Operation 
DESERT STORM as part of the 512 Tactical Fighter Squadron in 
August 1991.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 24 Jun 
88.

On 22 Jan 92, the applicant was honorably discharged from active 
duty and was credited with 3 years, 6 months, and 29 days of 
active service.  The narrative reason for separation was 
Voluntary-Miscellaneous Reasons and was issued an RE code of 3J. 

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/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  A review of his Master Personnel 
Records failed to provide any documents that substantiate 
Foreign Service time in Turkey.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 31 Oct 14, the applicant submitted a written statement from a 
fellow veteran that served during the same period that went to 
Incirlik Air Base and witnessed him being there.  (Exhibit E).  

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, to include his 
rebuttal comments, 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.  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.
