In support of the applicant’s appeal, he submits documents extracted from his military personnel records. The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant with prior service entered active duty in the United States Coast Guard on 17 November 1971. He was honorably released on 21 April 1972 due to the fulfillment of initial active duty training. He served 5 months and 3 days on active duty and credited with 2 months and 8 days of foreign and/or sea service. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 14 June 1999. On 2 December 2012, the applicant was honorably released from active duty and transferred to the Air National Guard in the grade of master sergeant under the provisions of AFI 36- 3209 (Completion of Required Active Service). He served 15 years, 8 months and 28 days on active duty and credited with no foreign or sea service. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPTS recommends denial. DPTS states per AFI 36-3202, Table 4, Rule 20 - total foreign service during continuous active military service for ANG and Reserve members mobilized, are to use those dates the member was actually deployed in the overseas area of responsibility (AOR). DPTS cannot correct item 12f due to the applicant not going overseas or performing any sea service during the active duty period of service from 14 June 1999 through 2 December 2012. The DD Form 214 the applicant attached from the Coast Guard shows his foreign/sea service. The DPTS complete evaluation is at Exhibit B. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 3 July 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit C). 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 is timely filed. 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 recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the existence of an error or injustice. Therefore, other than the administrative corrections cited above, we find no basis to recommend granting any additional relief sought in this application. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
