RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01650
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
A DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be amended to reflect his period of service from 12 May 81
to 1 Jul 85.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The DD Form 214 is missing from his record and one should be
created.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 May 81, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air
Force.
On 5 Jul 85, according to the DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/
Reenlistment Document, dated 4 Jul 85, the applicant reenlisted
for a term of four years.
On 6 Nov 85, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge for unsatisfactory performance,
and was credited with four months and two days of active service
for this period of service and was credited with 4 years, 1
month, and 23 days of prior 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. During the applicants period of
service, the Air Force transitioned from producing a DD Form 2l4
after every enlistment/re-enlistment, to the publication of a
single DD Form 214 upon separation from active service. During
the transition, one of two methods of documenting service time
was authorized: 1) the initial enlistment date was captured in
block 12a and active time is displayed in blocks l2c, or 2) [the
method used for the applicant] capture the active time from the
current enlistment/reenlistment in block l2c and record prior
active time from initial enlistment and reference the original
enlistment date and record all prior active time in block 12d.
Active service is then recorded by adding block 12c and 12d
together. The applicants DD Form 214, dated 27 Nov 85,
accurately captures his total active service time and is in
compliance with one of the two approved methods to document
service time during the transition period.
With regards to documenting the applicants honorable service,
it is recommend an administrative remedy to amend the DD Form
2l4 to state "Continuous Honorable Active Military Service from
12 May 81 to 4 Jul 1985" as authorized by AFI 36-3202,
Separation Documents. The administrative remedy will remain
within guidance appropriate for the period of service the
DD Form 214 was published.
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 4 Aug 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 warranting
correction of the applicants records to create a new DD Form
214 for the period of service from 12 May 81 to 1 Jul 85. 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.
We note the Air Force OPR has recommended to amend the DD Form
2l4, dated 27 Nov 85, to state "Continuous Honorable Active
Military Service from 12 May 81 to 4 Jul 85," and will correct
his records administratively. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
relief beyond that which will be rendered administratively.
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.
