RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02914
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, be amended to reflect he served in
Vietnam.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In 1968 and 1969, he volunteered for combat flights from Nakohn
Phenom Air Base as an assistant load master. He completed
85 missions but it is not reflected on his DD Form 214.
The Board should consider it in the interest of justice to
consider his untimely application as he has medical problems
which may be attributed to the landings and take-offs.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 10 Dec 65 and was
released from active duty on 28 Sep 69.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. His master personnel records did
not reflect that he served in Vietnam. DPAPP was able to verify
and confirm foreign service Boots on Ground (BOG) in Thailand
from 5 Oct 68 to 27 Sep 69 but unable to verify any foreign
service in 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 2 Feb 15 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. We took
notice of the applicants 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
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof that he has
been the victim of an error of injustice. Should the applicant
provide evidence, such as TDY orders or a travel voucher to
substantiate his service in Vietnam, we would be willing to
reconsider his request. In the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested
relief.
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.
