IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 7 April 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140014237
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his record to show he served in Indonesia and/or documentation to show he travelled to Indonesia by air.
2. The applicant states he went to Indonesia in August 1968. He has no orders on file reflecting his air transportation to Indonesia. He received a Letter of Appreciation from the Indonesian Government.
3. The applicant provides no additional evidence.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice. This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so. While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provide in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of the cases and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file. In all other respects, there are sufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations.
2. The applicant enlisted in the Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG) on 15 December 1963 for 6 years. He was ordered to and entered on active duty for training (ACDUTRA) on 13 January 1964. He completed training and was awarded military occupational specialty 622.10 (engineer equipment repairman).
3. He was honorably released from ACDUTRA on 10 July 1964 and reverted back to the HIARNG. He was credited with completing 5 months and 28 days of active duty.
4. The available records contain very little information pertaining to his service subsequent to his release from ACDUTRA. There are no records indicating he was sent to Indonesia.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
There is no documentary evidence showing the applicant was sent to Indonesia during his service in HIARNG. In the absence of such evidence, there is no basis for granting the requested relief.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
