ECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03618
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be amended to reflect her deployment to Joint Base Balad,
Iraq.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She has the short tour ribbons from her deployment but her DD
Form 214 does not reflect that she is a combat veteran.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 26 Oct 04, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force and
was released from active duty on 30 Jun 14.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error in the processing of her DD Form 214. DODI 1336.01,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form
214/5 Series), and governing Air Force instructions and policy
state do not grant authority to define if a veteran was a combat
or non-combat veteran, mention deployment locations or service
on foreign soil by name on a DD Form 214. The applicant failed
to provide evidence of an injustice or that her DD Form 214 was
prepared in error.
A complete copy of the 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 10 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 timely filed.
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 not been the victim of an error of injustice.
Therefore, 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.
