RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03870
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 Korea.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served 10 months and 15 days as a ground radio operator at an
Air Force K-9 base in Korea in 1955.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 3 May 54, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
The applicants military personnel records may have been
destroyed in the fire at the National Personnel Records Center
in 1973 and the records available for review are extremely
limited.
On 21 Nov 57, the applicant was released from active duty and
credited with 3 years, 6 months, and 19 days of active service,
which includes 10 months and 15 days of foreign service.
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/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. A review of his Master Personnel
Records failed to reveal any documentation of foreign service
time in the Republic of Korea, nor was any provided by the
applicant.
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 29 Dec 14 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 applicants 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 applicants 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.
