RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01403
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, be updated to reflect service in both
Spain and Vietnam.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His tours of duty in Spain and Vietnam were omitted from his
military records.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of an AF
Form 7, Airman Military Record, which lists locations he served.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 23 Oct
62.
On 11 Oct 66, the applicant was furnished an Honorable
discharge, and was credited with 3 years, 11 months, and 19 days
of 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/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice.
They reviewed the applicants master personnel record and did
not locate any documentation to substantiate Foreign Service in
Spain or Vietnam.
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 30 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 application was not filed within three years after the
alleged error or injustice was discovered, or could have been
discovered, as required by Section 1552, Title 10, United States
Code (10 USC 1552), and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. Although
the applicant asserts a date of discovery which would, if
correct, make the application timely, the essential facts which
gave rise to the application were known to applicant long before
the asserted date of discovery. Knowledge of those facts
constituted the date of discovery and the beginning of the
three-year period for filing. Thus, the application is
untimely.
2. Paragraph b of 10 USC 1552 permits us, in our discretion, to
excuse untimely filing in the interest of justice. We have
carefully reviewed applicant's submission and the entire record,
and we do not find a sufficient basis to excuse the untimely
filing of this application. The applicant has not shown a
plausible reason for delay in filing, and we are not persuaded
that the record raises issues of error or injustice that require
resolution on the merits at this time. Accordingly, we conclude
that it would not be in the interest of justice to excuse the
untimely filing of the application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as
untimely.
