RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03458

 						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Item 18, Remarks, be amended to include his deployment to 
Qatar. 
  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The Board should consider it in the interest of justice to 
consider his untimely application as he discovered the 
information was not included on his DD Form 214 when he went to 
file a claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 22 Sep 99 and was 
honorably released from active duty on 30 Apr 05.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP recommends disapproval since the information provided 
and master personnel records did not contain information that 
reflects he served in Qatar.    

A complete copy of the 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 26 Jan 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 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 
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 Qatar, 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.
