RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:			DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00651
		
						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Block 7a - Place of Entry into Active Duty (PLEAD), be 
corrected to reflect “ Lackland AFB, Texas”.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He entered the Air Force in 1982, after graduating from the USAF 
Academy.  His home of record at the time was ------.  He retook the oath of office and reentered the Air 
Force in 1986, at Lackland AFB, Texas.  His second DD Form 214, 
incorrectly states his PLEAD as USAF Academy.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 
2 Jun 82, and was credited with one month and 4 days of active 
service.  

On 11 Aug 82, the applicant was commissioned in the grade of 
Second Lieutenant (O-1) in the Reserve of the Air Force.

On 12 Jun 86, the applicant commenced a period of extended 
active duty (EAD) service.  On 30 Sep 06, the applicant was 
furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 20 
years, 3 months, and 19 days of active service.

The applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 30 Sep 06, reflects his PLEAD 
as US Air Force Academy.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibits C 
and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends approval, indicating there is evidence of 
an error.  According to AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, the 
PLEAD is defined as the place to which an order to active duty 
is addressed and the place at which the member attains a 
military status or at which the member enters the service.  
Additionally, an individual’s PLEAD only changes if there is a 
break in service exceeding one full day.  The applicant 
initiated travel on his extended active duty order from 
Ypsilanti, Michigan; however, if we applied AF policy governing 
DD Form 214s to his document today, Lackland AFB would be 
recorded as the location obtained active military status and 
entered active service.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPANF recommends denial, indicating there is no 
justification to warrant change of PLEAD.  Per AFI 36-3202, 
Table 4, rule 8 “for Air National Guard and Reserve members use 
the address listed on their EAD orders.  Reference the EAD 
order.”  The member’s new PLEAD when he entered active duty in 
Jun 86 was Ypsilanti, Michigan.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPANF evaluation is at Exhibit D.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 25 Feb 15 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E).  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 injustice.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case and noted the AFPC/DPSOR recommendation for 
approval; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of AFPC/DPANF and adopt its rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of 
injustice. In this respect, we note that per AFI 36-3202, 
Separation Documents, a Reserve member’s Place of Entry into 
Active Duty (PLEAD) is the address listed on their Extended 
Active Duty (EAD) special order.  Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting 
the requested relief.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
