AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01927 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, be 
corrected to reflect his foreign service in Vietnam and Korea. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He does not have TDY orders to support his request; however, he 
believes his military records should show he was on temporary duty 
from Yokota AB, Japan. 

 

He does not provide any supporting documentation. 

 

His complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 22 Apr 70. He 
retired on 31 Dec 90 after serving over 20 years on active duty. 

 

The applicant’s AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, does not mention 
Vietnam or Korean service. The applicant’s performance reports do 
not mention any service time in Vietnam or Korea. 

 

AFPC/DPAPP sent the applicant a letter on 4 Oct 10 requesting some 
type of source documents with his name on it that shows the actual 
location and number of days served in Vietnam and Korea; however, 
he did not respond. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states they were able to 
verify the applicant’s assignments in Turkey, Japan, Turkey, United 
Kingdom, and Germany; however, they could not verify any service 
time in Vietnam or Korea. Therefore, DPAPP cannot support the 
applicant’s request. 

 

 

 
The DPAPP complete 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 15 Oct 10 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of 
the applicant's 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 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 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.
