RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00057 COUNSEL:	NONE
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer of Discharge, show he received pay while temporary duty (TDY) to Guam.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214 shows 20 days of foreign service but does not state where the service was, nor does it give the pay rate for that period of time. He was TDY to Guam while assigned to the 5th Bomb Wing, detached from Travis AFB, CA. He needs evidence of this TDY location to support his Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) claim.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 9 Nov 61, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
On 1 Sep 65, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 3 years, 8 months, and 28 days of active service, which included 20 days of foreign 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:
AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. After a review of his Master Personnel Records, and the documentation submitted by the applicant, no evidence to substantiate foreign service time in Guam was found.

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

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.
