RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS. IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01566 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be updated to reflect the following: Temporary Duty (TDY) to the Philippines from 16 Oct 65 to 5 Dec 65 and service in Vietnam. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: While assigned to the 463rd Field Maintenance Squadron Avionics department, he was on temporary duty to the Philippines from 16 Oct 65 to 1 Dec 65. He flew on to Da Nang, Vietnam to repair aircraft navigation systems and to Qui Nhun, Vietnam to pick up injured troops. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 6 Mar 62, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. On 4 Mar 66, the applicant was released from active duty upon expiration of his term of service and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He was credited with 3 years, 11 months and 29 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: AFPC/DPAPP recommends disapproval of the applicant’s request indicating the information provided and the master personnel records did not contain information that reflects he served in Vietnam or the Philippines. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP 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 8 Jul 15 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: Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a careful review of the applicant's contentions, documentation submitted in support of the request, and the available evidence of record, we are not convinced the applicant has provided sufficient evidence for us to conclude that he/she is the victim of an error or injustice. We also note the applicant did not file the application within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered, or should have been discovered, as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. While the applicant claims a date of discovery of less than three years prior to receipt of the application, we believe a reasonable date of discovery was more than three years prior to receipt of the application. Therefore, because we do not find it would be in the interest of justice to recommend granting relief, and the applicant has offered no plausible reason for the delay in filing the application, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file the application. Accordingly, we find the application untimely. 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. The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-01566 was considered: Exhibit A. DD Form 149, dated 13 Apr 15, w/atchs. Exhibit B. Applicant's Master Personnel Records. Exhibit C. Memorandum, AFPC/DPAPP, dated 7 May 15. Exhibit D. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 8 Jul 15.
