RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04355

					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Report of Separation from the Armed Forces of 
the United States, with an effective date of separation of 
31 May 55 be changed to reflect 31 May 59.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His discharge date is wrong.  He was discharged on 31 May 59.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects he served on active duty 
from 25 Apr 55 to 31 May 55, and was credited with one month and 
seven days of active service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The applicant has not provided any 
evidence to support his discharge date was recorded incorrectly 
on his DD Form 214.  There is no evidence in his master 
personnel record showing his discharge date was erroneously 
recorded.  Without documentation to substantiate the applicant’s 
separation date is incorrect on the DD Form 214 there is no 
basis to correct the form.  However, if applicant provides proof 
of active duty through 31 May 59 DPSIPV will direct a correction 
to his DD Form 214.

A complete copy of the AFPC/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 1 Apr 15, 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.  
The 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.  The 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.
