RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01489 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His date of creditable service for pay purposes be changed from 20 Sep 73 to 23 Jul 73. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His pay date currently reflects his active duty enlistment, but should have been calculated to include the time he served under the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP). The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 20 Sep 1973. On 30 Sep 93, the applicant retired from the Air Force and was credited with 20 years and 11 days of active service. 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/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant’s retired pay plan is based upon 10 USC § 1406, Retired pay base for members who first became members before 8 Sep 80: final basic pay. The Date initially Entered Military Service (DIEMS) is 26 Jul 73. The retired pay multiplier is based upon Total Active Duty Service and Inactive Reserve points creditable for retirement, referred to as the 10 USC § 1405 service date. Service for basic pay is not used to determine the percentage received in retired pay. 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 4 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD: After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely. 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. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner. With respect to his request for his military personnel records, inasmuch as the Board is not the custodian for such records, it is suggested the applicant contact the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) to request copies of his records. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-01489 in Executive Session on 19 Mar 15, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-01489 was considered: Exhibit A.
