RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04862

					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect and credit him with foreign service in Kuwait.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He has orders showing he traveled to Ali Al Salem, Kuwait.  However, his record of service does not indicate foreign service.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 20 April 2010.  

On 29 September 2014, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 4 years, 5 months, and 10 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/DPAPP recommends denial.  A review of the applicant’s Master Personnel Records and submitted documentation failed to substantiate foreign service time in Kuwait.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit C.



APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reiterates that he has orders substantiating his foreign service in Kuwait.  In support of his response, the applicant once again provided Special Order TE-0167 showing an itinerary to ALI AL SALEM, KUWAIT (AEWV).  

A complete copy of the applicant’s response is at Exhibit E.  


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

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.  Should the applicant provide documents such as travel vouchers, evaluation reports, and letters of evaluation, decorations, or official military documentation that reflects completed travel to include its inclusive travel periods, the board is willing to reconsider his request.  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.
