APPLICANT’S REQUEST.   His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer of Discharge, be amended to reflect 8.75 months of foreign service, instead of 6 months and 5 days.  

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.   He was TDY to Kadena AB, Okinawa.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS.    The applicant served a period of active duty from 28 Dec 64 to 1 Oct 68.   For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DP3AM recommends denial.  His records reflect he served a TDY assignment from 30 Sep 66 to 2 Apr 67, which is accurately reflected on his DD Form 214.  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 13 Sep 17 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1.  The application was not timely filed.  However, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the delay.  

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 and injustice.   The Board concurs with AFPC/DP3AM and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:  The APPLICANT be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
