RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01039 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Item 7a, Place of Entry into Active Duty (PLEAD), reflect Wichita Falls, TX, rather than Meadville, PA. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Place of entry into active duty was Wichita Falls, TX, as evidenced by Special Order AG-0210 dated 13 December 1994, and Special Order AG-0358 dated 19 January 1995. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 17 February 1995. On 16 February 1997, the applicant was released from active duty and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. She was furnished an honorable discharge and credited with 2 years of active service. Special Order AG-0210, dated 13 December 1994, and Extended Active Duty Order (EAD), Special Order AG-0358, dated 19 January 1995 reflects the applicant’s PLEAD as “Wichita Falls, TX.” 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/DP3DA recommends approval. DP3DA states after a review of the applicant’s Appointment Order, Special Order AG-0210, dated 13 December 1994, and her Extended Active Duty Order (EAD), Special Order AG-0358, dated 19 January 1995 reflects her PLEAD as “Wichita Falls, TX” which is correct; therefore, this information warrants a change to her PLEAD as listed on her DD Form 214 to Wichita Falls, TX. Per the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Appendix A1 an individual PLEAD is defined as the “Place of acceptance in current enlistment, commission, or appointment of an active service member, or of an RC member when enlisted, commissioned, or appointed for immediate active duty. For an inductee, it’s the location of the local Selective Service Board to which the individual first reported for delivery to the induction station”. A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3DA evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluations was forwarded to the applicant on 11 March 2016 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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. Sufficient 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 agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. We note that the applicant’s Appointment Order - Special Order AG-0210, dated 13 December 1994, and her EAD Order – Special Order AG-0358, dated 19 January 1995 reflects her PLEAD as Wichita Falls, TX. As such, this information warrants a change to her PLEAD as listed on her DD Form 214. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued in conjunction with her 16 February 1997 separation, be amended in item 7a, Place of Entry into Active Duty, to reflect “Wichita Falls, TX,” rather than “Meadville, PA.” The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-01039 in Executive Session on 12 April 2016 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
