RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-04239

		COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST.  That the total prior inactive service and active duty reserve time on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty be corrected.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.  Her DD Form 214, block 12.e, Total Prior Inactive Service, does not indicate her total reserve time and she needs it to be clear on the total active duty reserve time. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS.   The applicant was discharged from the Regular Air Force on 26 Oct 87 and transferred to the Air Force Reserve where she was discharged on 27 Apr 95 in the grade of airman first class. For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  ARPC/DPTS recommends denying the application since there is not an error or injustice within his military record.  Furthermore, the applicant did not provide evidence to reflect an error in her military record.  In accordance with AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, Note 4, when a reservist completes a tour of 90 days or more the DD Form 214 reflects only those actions accomplished during the period covered by the form. The DD Form 214 is prepared IAW DODI 1336.01 and AFI 36-3202.  Also, her AF Form 526, Point Credit Summary, captures her Reserve service and no additional DD Form 214 is warranted.  To approve the request would be contrary to the Department of Defense and Air Force Instruction. 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 27 Sep 17 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

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.  The Board concurs with 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: 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.

CERTIFICATION: The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2016-04239 in Executive Session on 28 Mar 18:
