RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03208 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, effective 31 July 1972, be corrected to reflect he served in Korea from 1952 through 1953. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His service in Korea was reflected on his DD Form 214, Report of Separation from the Armed Forces of the United States, effective 27 November 1955. However, it was omitted on his retirement DD Form 214. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 1 August 1972, the applicant retired from the Air Force and was credited with 20 years and 14 days of total 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. There is no evidence of an error or injustice. The applicant is under the impression that his DD Form 214 published for reason of retirement should reference his time served in Korea. However, the Korean service is accurately recorded on the appropriate DD Form 214 for the time period served. Specifically, the DD Form 214, effective 27 November 1955 accurately reflects the applicant service in Korea as identified by the annotation of the Korean Service Medal reflected in block 27, Decorations, Medals, Badges, Commendations, Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized. Each documented DD Form 214 carries its own weight as a record for a specific period of active duty and one does not replace another. 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 9 February 2015 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested 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.
