RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02536
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect the following:
1. Item 5a - Staff Sergeant (SSgt) rather than Sergeant (Sgt)
and Item 5b E5 rather than E4.
2. Item 9 - 28 February 1943 rather than 23 February 1943
ADMINISTRATIVELY CORRECTED.
3. Item 21 Cortland Co., New York, rather than Cortland Co.,
Texas ADMINISTRATIVELY CORRECTED.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was promoted to the rank of SSgt one day prior to his
discharge.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 November
1964.
The applicant was promoted to the rank of Sgt effective
1 February 1967.
On 2 October 1968, the applicant was honorably released from
active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserve in the
grade of Sgt under the provisions of AFM 39-10. He served
3 years and 11 months on active duty and credited with 11 months
and 24 days of foreign and/or service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. DPSOE states the applicant was
never promoted to the rank of SSgt while serving in the Regular
Air Force. Upon discharge from the Regular Air Force, the
applicant was transferred to the Air Force Reserve to complete
his six year service obligation. The DD Form 214 reflects the
applicants rank as Sgt at the time of discharge from regular
active duty whereas the Reserve order, reflecting the rank of
SSgt - is the rank he obtained while serving in the Air Force
Reserve. A DD Form 214 is not accomplished upon discharge from
the Reserve.
The DPSOE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 17 November 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response 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 an injustice. 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 will correct the two items noted above
on the DD 214. Therefore, other than the administrative
corrections cited above, we find no basis to recommend granting
any additional relief sought in this application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
