	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected as follows:

	1) Item 11: Primary Specialty is 60250 – Passenger and HHG Specialist when it should read 90170 – Aeromedical Specialist (administratively corrected), and

	2) Item 12c: Net Service reads 5 months and should read 5 months and 21 days.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her date of entry into active duty was 25 Jan 91 thru 16 Jul 91 during Operation Desert Shield/Storm, therefore her Net Active Duty should reflect 5 months and 21 days.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 16 Jul 91, the applicant was released from active duty, furnished an honorable discharge as an Air Force staff sergeant and was credited with 5 months and 22 days net active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS has completed an administrative correction for Block 11, Primary Specialty.

ARPC/DPTS recommends denying the remainder of the applicant’s request.  ARPC/DPTS has calculated her Net Active Service This Period and found the 5 months and 22 days to be accurate.  ARPC/DPTS provided a copy of the applicant’s AF Form 1613, Statement of Service, to help her with her military buyback application.  The complete advisory, with attachments, 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 03 Aug 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 that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice beyond the administrative relief provided.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/DPTS and finds that 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.
