RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04327
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, Item 28, be corrected to read Completion of Required
Active Duty Service rather than Completion of Initial Active
Duty Training.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
This correction is required in order to be eligible for the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Home Loan benefit.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 20 June
2011.
On 15 November 2011, the applicant was released from active duty
upon completion of initial active duty training and was credited
with 4 months, and 26 days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice nor does the member provide evidence to
reflect an error in his records.
ARPC conducted a review of the applicants record and found that
there were errors on the DD Form 214 but they are unable to
correct item 28, Narrative Reason for Separation. Per AFI 36-
3202, Table 4, Note 8.1, a member in the Air Force Reserve being
separated from initial active duty training the narrative
reason for separation should read - Completion of Initial Active
Duty Training. A DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, was
created to correct errors they found to include the Air Force
Specialty Code (AFSC), total prior inactive service, initial
entry training date, military education, and remarks.
The application is timely filed and the applicant has exhausted
all administrative avenues. However, the applicant is not
eligible for a VA Home Loan because he did not serve six years
of creditable service in the Reserve. To approve the
applicants request would be contrary to Air Force Instruction
36-3202.
A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 23 January 2015 for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit C). 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 or
injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the 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.
