RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00917

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Item 28, Narrative Reason for Separation, be changed to 
“Released from Required Active Duty”. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His reserve unit was activated during the Gulf War.  He engaged 
on active missions in the gulf and was not on training orders.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 Aug 
77.

The applicant’s master personnel records reflect a DD Form 214, 
was issued for the period 22 Apr 91 and 10 Sep 91.  The 
narrative reason for separation reflects “Released from Required 
Active Duty Training.” For this period, he was credited with 4 
months and 19 days of active service.  

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 an injustice.  They conducted a review of the 
applicant’s records and found no documents that identify the 
member participated on active duty from 22 Apr 91 to 10 Sep 91 
in support of the Gulf War on any contingency or deployment.  
They included a Point Credit History computer generated rip 
which shows the applicant was on active duty for a school tour.  

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant contends that due to the escalation of the Gulf 
War and the need for aircrew members, he was recalled to active 
duty for the timeframe 22 Apr 91 through 10 Sep 91.  The 
applicant believes the fact he received a DD Form 214 proves 
this point.

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, to include his 
rebuttal comments, in judging the merits of the case; however, 
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force 
office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale 
as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the 
victim of an error of injustice.  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.
