RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02328

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Block 7a – Place of Entry into Active Duty (PLEAD), be 
corrected to reflect “San Antonio, Texas”.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He entered active duty in San Antonio, Texas not Branford, 
Connecticut.  His daughter is attending college at Texas A&M, 
College Station and this error is impacting her ability to 
utilize the Hazelwood Act.

In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his 
DD Form 214 and a copy of AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty 
Order, dated 9 Mar 99.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 20 Jul 
99

On 19 Jul 03, the applicant was furnished an Honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 4 years of active service.   

The applicant’s DD Form 214, reflects his Place of Entry into 
Active Duty (PLEAD) and Home of Record (HOR) as Branford, 
Connecticut. 

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/DPANF2 recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation, 
Volume I, Appendix A1 defines PLEAD as the place to which an 
order to active duty is addressed and the place at which the 
member attains a military status or at which the member enters 
the service.  Additionally, an individual’s PLEAD only changes 
if there is a break in service exceeding one full day, in which 
case it is the place of entry into the new period of service.

In May 93, the applicant graduated Medical School from New York 
University School of Medicine (New York, NY) under the Health 
Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP).  Upon graduation from 
medical school he attended a civilian residency program in 
Dallas, Texas.  In May 99, the applicant informed the Extended 
Active Duty order-issuing and authenticating official the 
address from which he departed for active duty (PLEAD) was 
Pelham, New York.  Therefore, Pelham, NY was annotated in block 
1 of his EAD order (AF-766); because this is his pace of entry 
into the new period of service.  

The justification provided does not warrant PLEAD to be 
corrected to reflect San Antonio, Texas; however, if the 
decision is to grant relief, it is their recommendation that his 
records should be correct to reflect Dallas, Texas.  This is the 
address from which he departed his residency program for active 
duty; therefore, his PLEAD should have reflected Dallas, Texas.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPANF2 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 23 Jan 15 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-02328 in Executive Session on 28 Apr 15 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:
