RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04053

 						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO
 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be amended to reflect 8 months of foreign service.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He deployed overseas twice and his DD Form 214 should reflect 
8 months. 

In support of his request, he provides letters of support and a 
certificate of appreciation.   

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 14 Apr 99, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force and 
was retired on 28 Jan 14 with a narrative reason for separation 
of “Disability, Permanent (Enhanced).” 

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Item 12, Record of Service, Block 
f., Foreign Service, reflects 3 months and 8 days.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPP was able to verify and confirm foreign service at 
Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but not able to 
verify any other foreign service.

A complete copy of the DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.  

AFPC/DPSOR defers to AFPC/DPAPP and the AFBCMR to dictate the 
amount of foreign service needing recorded on the DD Form 214.  
A review of the applicant’s DD Form 214 published on 29 Jan 
14 indicates foreign service recorded as 00 years, 03 months and 
08 days, not “0” as the applicant claims.

A complete copy of the DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 10 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 timely filed.

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; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis 
for our conclusion the applicant has failed to sustain his 
burden of proof that he has been the victim of an error or 
injustice.  Should the applicant provide evidence to 
substantiate his deployment dates, we would be willing to 
reconsider his request.  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.
