RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01040 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His NGB Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service, be changed to reflect his 14 days or temporary duty in Pisa, Italy, and his graduation from the Phoenix Raven Course in 1997. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His Air National Guard (ANG) administrative personnel failed to include these two items on his final NGB Form 22. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the ANG on 2 Jun 93. Under Special Order PB-100, dated 21 Sep 98, the applicant was honorably discharged from the New Jersey ANG, effective 1 Oct 98, furnished a NGB Form 22, and was credited with five years and four months of net ANG 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. In order for ARPC to add graduation from the Phoenix Raven Course, the applicant will need to provide a copy of the training certificate for the course. The email he submitted is not a valid source document. Concerning the applicant’s claim of a TDY to Italy in support of Operations JOINT ENDEAVOR and JOINT GUARD, contingency operations are not documented on the NGB Form 22. A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTT evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: In further support of his request, the applicant submitted a certificate of training indicating he successfully completed the Phoenix Raven Course on 5 Apr 97 as a member of the Class of 97-2. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD: 1.  While the applicant claims a date of discovery of less than three years ago, in our view, the reasonable date of discovery of the alleged error or injustice was more than three years ago. Therefore, the 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 the record raises issues of error or injustice beyond that which was administratively corrected 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. 2.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 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.
