RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02327 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 1. His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, dated 14 Apr 61, be corrected as follows: a. Block 25a, Specialty Number and Title, be corrected to reflect he was awarded the 43151C (Journeyman Aircraft Mechanic) air force specialty code (AFSC). b. Block 26, Decoration, Medals, Badges, Commendations, Citations, and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized, be corrected to include the National Defense Service Medal (Administratively Corrected). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He took and passed the exam for award of the 43151C AFSC. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 11 Aug 59. On 14 Apr 61, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with one year, eight months, and four days of active service. On 8 Aug 14, AFPC/DPSID, administratively corrected the applicant’s records to reflect that he was awarded the National Defense Service Medal (NDSM). 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/DPSIC recommends denial of the applicant’s request to change his AFSC, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. Block 25a of the DD Form 214 identifies the specialty number and title in which the applicant served, not the AFSC awarded. The applicant provided special order number P-106, dated 29 Mar 61, reflecting the award of AFSC 43151C, effective 14 Feb 61. The applicant’s military personnel record on file did not contain documentation that he served or performed duty in the 5-skill level position. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIC 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 27 Oct 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. 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-2014-02327 in Executive Session on 25 Mar 15, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-02327 was considered: Exhibit A.
