RESUME OF CASE: 

 

The applicant submitted a similar request dated 9 Jan 11. On 
18 Oct 11, the Board recommended denial of the applicant’s 
request because the evidence submitted did not substantiate his 
claim; however, the Board agreed to reconsider the applicant’s 
request if he could provide additional information such as a 
travel voucher or a certified statement from a witness verifying 
he was assigned duties in Vietnam during the period in question 
(Exhibit E). 

 

In his latest request, dated 28 Oct 11, the applicant submits a 
copy of his travel orders validated and stamped by the Customs 
277th Air Police Squadron at Tan Son Nhut Airbase, Republic of 
Vietnam. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit F.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

After again reviewing the evidence of record to include the 
validated travel order, the Board is of the opinion sufficient 
relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the 
existence of an error or an injustice warranting a correction to 
the applicant’s record indicating he had “boots on the ground” 
in Vietnam. Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected as 
indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he had 
“boots on the ground” in Tan Son Nhut Airbase, Vietnam. 
Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected as indicated 
below.
