AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-02816 

						COUNSEL:  NONE

HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Block 18 of his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to include a statement regarding how he was ordered to active duty and the time period.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The statement of how he was ordered onto active duty (AD) and for the AD time period was inadvertently omitted from his DD Form 214.  That statement is needed to properly calculate his Reserve retirement date.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 1 Jul 03, HQ ARPC issued Special Order AK-76, ordering the applicant to Extended Active Duty (EAD) in accordance with (IAW) USC 12301 D, effective date of duty 22 Aug 03, for a period of 72 months.  

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve, in the grade of lieutenant colonel (0-5).  

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/DP2STM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The applicant was ordered onto AD in accordance with 10 USC 12301(d) for the period 22 Aug 03 – 1 Oct 11.     In accordance with AFI 36-3203, Service Retirements, table 4, rule 29, the list of approved remarks does not show a requirement or remark for block 18 to reflect Reserve members on Extended Active Duty tours or period of such tour.  His Extended Active Duty (EAD) order, SO AK-76, dated 1 Jul 03 maybe provided as proof of service along with DD Form 214.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2STM 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 13 Nov 17 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
