		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, be 
changed to reflect his release from active duty as 22 May 79.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DD Form 214 should reflect that he was released from active 
duty on 22 May 79, instead of 22 May 75.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 5 Jan 72, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force and 
on 22 May 79, he was honorably discharged.  He was credited with 
7 years, 4 months, and 18 days of total active service.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial.  The applicant was issued two DD 
Form 214s, the first one covering the period of 5 Jan 72 to 
22 May 75 and the second 23 May 75 to 22 May 79.  The DD Forms 
214 cannot be combined into one document but should be used 
together to reflect his full service.

The complete DPSIPV 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 May 14 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 
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our 
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of 
injustice.  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.
