RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03156 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: She receive federal service credit for employment at Fort Benjamin Harrison, IN (1967 to 1969), the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Cleveland, OH (1971 to 1975), and the Equal Opportunity Commission (1976 to 1977). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her records have been lost and just recently found in a warehouse in Puerto Rico. She submits an NGB Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service, and a retirement order (EL-0685) and does not know which document accurately reflects her retirement date. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 11 Jul 77, the applicant initially entered the Air National Guard (ANG). 6 Dec 95, the applicant was notified of eligibility for retired pay at age 60 for the completion of required years of service. On 28 Nov 05, the applicant was relieved and retired, effective 7 Dec 05, and was credited with 20 years, 1 month, and 11 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/DPTT recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. While the applicant provides no evidence of federal employment for the dates provided in her request (1967 to 1969; 1971 to 1975; and 1976 to 1977), the fact is federal service cannot be documented on military service records. With regards to the applicant’s request to confirm her retirement date, her retirement date is 7 Dec 05; the date she turned 60 years old and began drawing Reserve retired pay. No correction to the record is recommended. A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTT 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 19 Sep 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 OF THE BOARD: 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.
