AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. Policy governing the DD Form 214 at
the time of the applicants 1978 discharge through governing
directives today (DoDI 1336.01 and AFI 36-3202) do not allow the
listing of countries, personalized statements, or to state the
member served during a specific war era.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

He contends he made a commitment on 19 Feb 75 and enlisted in
the United States Air Force and requests Vietnam Era status for
patriotic reasons and pride.
A complete copy of the applicants rebuttal is at 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 applicants 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.
