RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02319 

 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His record be corrected to waive his 28-day early-out (to attend 
college) in order to qualify him for eligibility to receive the 
Air Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

At the time of his discharge he had accumulated 60 days of 
leave. This means he worked an additional 60 days compared to 
those that used most or all of their leave time. He believes 
the 60 days far exceeds the 28-day waiver he is requesting. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provided his DD Form 
214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or 
Discharge, DD Forms 215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate 
of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, a personal statement, 
and a copy of HQ AFPC/DPSIDRA’s response to his 6 May 2011 
request for entitlement to the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award 
with three Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters (AFOUA w/3 BOLC), the Armed 
Forces Expeditionary Medal with one Bronze Service Star (AFEM 
w/1BSS), the Korean Defense Service Medal (KDSM), and the Air 
Force Longevity Service Award (AFLSA). 

 

His complete submission is at exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 July 1964. 

 

On 7 June 1968 the applicant was released from active duty with 
an honorable characterization of service. He served 3 years, 
11 months and 2 days of which 2 years, 4 months and 17 days were 
credited as Foreign and/or Sea Service. 

 


The applicant’s DD Form 214 does not reflect award of the AFLSA. 
The AFLSA is awarded to all service members of the U.S. Air 
Force who complete 4 years of honorable active or reserve 
military service with any branch of the United States Armed 
Forces.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIDR recommends denial. DPSIDR states after a complete 
review of the applicant’s case and in view that he has only 3 
years 11 months and 2 days of active duty service, they 
recommend denial of his claim for award of the AFLSA. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIDR 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 16 December 2011 for review and comment within 30 
days. As of this date, this office has not received a 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 
favorably consider 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.
