RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05525

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect she served in support of Operation 
DESERT SHIELD from Jan 91 to Apr 91.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was on temporary duty (TDY) in support of the Gulf War and her service is not reflected on her DD Form 214.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former Air Force Reserve member who served on active duty from 1 Feb 91 to 28 Apr 91.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice.  The applicant was on active duty for 87 days 
from 1 Feb 91 to 28 Apr 91.  Her points history does not support the time period she alleges to have been on orders.  Furthermore, 
there is no evidence in her military personnel records to show she served in support of a contingency operation.  Per AFI 36-3202, 
Separation Documents, Table 2, states in order to receive a DD Form 214 a member must complete 90 days or more consecutive active 
duty days or 1 day more if in support of a contingency operation.

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS 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 9 Jun 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.  
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States 
Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603.  Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we 
are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits.  Thus, we cannot 
conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner.  


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness.  It is the decision 
of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
