RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05043

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NOT INDICATED 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Date of Separation (DOS) on his DD Form 214, Certificate of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, should reflect 26 Aug 
91 rather than 10 Feb 88.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He joined the military with a six-year commitment after completing 
the college Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) 
program and being commissioned as an officer.

He was on Reserve status until his discharge, in 1991, not 1988 as 
his DD Form 214 shows.

He needs his record to reflect his commitment from 11 Feb 84 to 26 
Aug 91.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 11 Feb 84, the applicant was placed on Extended Active Duty 
(EAD) to complete Under-Graduate Pilot Training (UPT).

On 4 May 84, the applicant was released from EAD, with a reason 
for separation “involuntary Release: Failure to Complete Flying or 
Technical Training.”  He was credited with 2 months and 24 days of 
active duty service.   

On 26 Aug 91, the applicant was honorably discharged from all 
appointments in the United States Air Force.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPTS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice.  DPTS notes the DD Form 214 certifies the 
military member's Release or Discharge from Active Duty and 
captures item by item, by authority, the military member's 
pertinent data and military service data.  The DD Form 214 is 
prepared In Accordance With (IAW) DODI 1336.01, Certificate of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214/5 Series) and 
AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents.  Therefore, we recommend for 
the Board to deny of the applicant's request.  To approve the 
request would be contrary to the Department of Defense and Air 
Force Instruction.

DPTS conducted a review of the applicant's records and provided 
documents.  The DD Form 214 in the applicant's record was a 
release from active duty from 11 Feb 84 to 4 May 84.  Per AFI 36-
3202, Table 2, Rule 3, a member must complete 90 continuous 
calendar days or more of active duty.  On 5 May 84, the applicant 
was transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve status until he 
was discharged from the Air Force Reserve on 26 Aug 91.

The complete DPTS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 6 Mar 15 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 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 Reserve office of primary 
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of 
injustice.  Though we appreciate the applicant’s perspective concerning his documented service time, we find no evidence of an 
error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested 
relief.

4.  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 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.
