RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05481 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His separation date reflected in Block 12b of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed from 3 Sep 03 to 30 Sep 03. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The 3 Sep 03 date must be a typo because he separated on 30 Sep 03. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. _________________ ______________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Air Force on 25 Sep 01. The AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation, under Special Order AE-0464, dated 3 Sep 03, on file in the applicant’s military personnel records reflects his effective date of separation as 3 Sep 03. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant was separated from the Air Force on 3 Sep 03 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR 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 15 Jul 13 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 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; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. While the applicant has provided a copy of a Reenlistment Eligibility Data Display (REDD) report which indicates his date of separation was 30 Sep 03 as he contends, we are not convinced that said document is sufficient to convince us that the official documents related to the applicant’s separation (Discharge Orders and DD Form 214) are in error or unjust. Instead, we find it much more likely that the REDD report, which derived from data from the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), is erroneous in this regard. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-05481 in Executive Session on 10 Sep 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, 13 Nov 12, w/atchs.
