APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service be corrected to reflect his date of enlistment as 21 Jan 89, rather than 21 Jan 90.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He enlisted in the National Guard on 21 Jan 89.

In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his NGB Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s NGB Form 22 reflects he enlisted in the National Guard on 21 Jan 90.  He was honorably retired on 26 Dec 06.  He served in the Guard for 23 years, 11 months and 6 days.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1POF recommends the requested relief be denied.  A1POF states the date of enlistment is the last date the member enlisted with a component.  All satisfactory time that is accumulated through previous service with another component, is captured within the Point Credit Accounting Retirement Summary (PCARS).  The applicant originally enlisted in the Virginia Air National Guard on 21 Jan 89 for one year.  An NGB Form was completed for the one year period.  That one year period of service was added into block 10b, as prior reserve service.

The complete NGB/A1POF 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 14 Sep 07, for review and response within 30 days.  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 not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and the recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________
						
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
