He be paid for his Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to 
Blytheville, Arkansas as a married member versus single member.

When he moved to Blytheville in January 1986, he was married but 
was reimbursed by the Air Force as if he was single.  

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 17 Jan 86.

On 1 Sep 87, the applicant was furnished a general (under 
honorable conditions) discharge for misconduct and was credited 
with 1 year, 7 months, and 15 days of active service.

On 19 Sep 12, SAF/MRBR sent correspondence to applicant 
requesting any documents pertaining to his PCS move with which 
to validate his entitlement to the moving expense reimbursement 
he is requesting.

On 27 Sep 12, the applicant responded stating he lost his 
military records in a move in 1990 and he does not have any more 
information to provide.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

We have carefully reviewed the applicant’s submission and the 
evidence of record and do not find a sufficient basis to excuse 
the untimely filing of this application.  The applicant did not 
file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was 
discovered as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 
1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603, Air Force Board for 
Correction of Military Records.  The applicant has not shown a 
plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not 
persuaded the record raises issues of error or injustice which 
require resolution on the merits.  Thus, we conclude it would 
not be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s 
failure to file in a timely manner.

________________________________________________________________

DECISION OF THE BOARD:

The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the 
interest of justice to waive the timeliness requirement.  It is 
the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application 
as untimely.
