RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01416
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be amended to add the words United States to the
Department, Component and Branch area (block 2) of the form.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
By omitting the words United States before Air Force-Reg AF,
it could be inferred he served in the Air Force of another
country.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 Feb 79, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air
Force and served on active duty until he was discharged under
honorable conditions on 21 Jun 82.
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 injustice. The governing directive for preparation
of the DD Form 214, AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, directs
"AIR FORCE" (as in "Department of the Air Force") as the proper
entry in block 2 (Department, Component and Branch). A review
of the applicants records indicates he served in the Regular
Air Force from 2 Feb 79 to 21 Jun 82; therefore, the applicants
DD Form 214 accurately reflects his service.
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 30 May 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10,
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-
2603. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay
in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises
issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the
merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of
justice to excuse the applicants failure to file in a timely
manner.
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.

However, even when considering possible overlapping symptoms of PTSD, Panic Disorder, and Anxiety Disorder, military officials determined that it was his co-morbid Personality Disorder that presented the greatest obstacle to his treatment and retention and, thus, recommended the administrative discharge. The proposed treatment for his anxiety disorder in 1985 was appropriate regardless of the differential diagnosis (e.g., PTSD vs. Panic Disorder). The applicant is advised that a diagnosis...
