	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect a discharge date of 8 Sep 10.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was on the Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) and her DD Form 214 was completed prior to her release from active duty.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a retired Air Force Master Sergeant.  She was placed on the TDRL effective 2 Sep 08, and removed from the TDRL effective 8 Sep 10.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2STM-214 recommends denying the application.  Department of Defense Instruction 1336.01, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214/5 Series), and Air Force Instruction 36-3202, Separation Documents, state do not authorize the issuance of a new DD Form 214 when being removed from the TDRL.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 20 Jul 17 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.   After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2STM-214 and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
