RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04373

					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NOT INDICATED 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His record be corrected to remove any reference to failing 
Undergraduate Navigator Training (UNT) to graduate from 
Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT).

2.  He be credited with two years of service, with pay and 
benefits for 1978 and 1979. 


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
27 Jun 80, under BC-1978-03434.  For an accounting of the facts 
and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation, and, 
the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the 
Record of Proceedings at Exhibit D.

The applicant contends that he did not attend UNT and any 
reference to failing UNT should be corrected to reflect that he 
graduated from UPT.  

He attended UPT, at Williams AFB, and complained to the Air 
Force Inspector General (SAF/IG) of verbal abuse and reprisal.  

He should be credited with two years of pay and benefits for his 
service from 1978 to 1979.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit E. 


FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of an error or injustice.  After a careful review 
of the applicant's contentions, documentation submitted in 
support of the request, and the available evidence of record, we 
are not convinced the applicant has provided sufficient evidence 
for us to conclude that he is the victim of an error or 
injustice.  We also note the applicant did not file the 
application within three years after the alleged error or 
injustice was discovered, or should have been discovered, as 
required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air 
Force Instruction 36-2603.  While the applicant claims a date of 
discovery of less than three years prior to receipt of the 
application, we believe a reasonable date of discovery was more 
than three years prior to receipt of the application.  
Therefore, because we do not find it would be in the interest of 
justice to recommend granting relief, and the applicant has 
offered no plausible reason for the delay in filing the 
application, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of 
justice to excuse the failure to timely file the application.  
Accordingly, we find the application untimely.

The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


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.
