	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 91 days of Temporary Duty (TDY) to Korea be reflected in his records.

_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In 1968, he performed 91 days of TDY to XXXXX, as part of a 50 member Prime Beef team during Combat Fox II.  Although the 91 days of TDY are reflected on his AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, the location is not.  In addition, the information was never transferred to any of his subsequent DD Forms 214.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits his personal statement and a letter from AFPC/DPAPP2.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a retired master sergeant who served on active duty in the Regular Air Force from 10 April 1957 through 30 June 1973.  From 10 October 1967 through 30 July 1969, he was assigned to the XXXX.  Item 2, Foreign Service, of his AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, indicates that on 9 February 1968, he departed to perform 91 days of TDY; however, no location is listed.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP2 recommends the application be denied since there are no TDY orders or travel vouchers that confirm a TDY to XXXX.  Furthermore, there are no references to the TDY in his 1968 performance report.

The AFPC/DPAPP2 evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 9 April 2004 for review and response within 30 days.  However, as of this date, this office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  In this respect, we note he applicant contends that in 1968, he performed 91 days of TDY to XXXX, as part of a 50 member Prime Beef team during Combat Fox II.  While the 91 days of TDY are reflected on his AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, the location is not, since the TDY location was not a required entry.  Although he has not submitted copies of his travel voucher for this TDY, in the absence of a basis to question his integrity, we believe the interest of justice can best be served by resolving any doubt in his behalf.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that Item 30, Remarks, of the DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, issued in conjunction with his honorable discharge on 9 April 1969, be amended to include 91 days of Temporary Duty (TDY) to XXXX.
