RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00452 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He receive a DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflecting his entire active duty service. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: When he retired from military service in 1991, he received a DD Form 214 but it did not cover his entire active duty career. He noticed the error when he retired from federal civil service in November 2014. At that time, Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) provided him a summary of federal service that indicated his military service from 2 May 83 to 31 Jan 91. His military service began in 1968 when he originally enlisted as part of the Project 100,000 program. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 26 Nov 68, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. On 31 Jan 91, the applicant was relieved from active duty and retired, effective 1 Feb 91. He was credited with 22 years, 2 months and 5 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/DPSOR recommends denial indicating the applicant failed to prove the data was recorded incorrectly as outlined by governing directives or that the document was prepared in error. A review of the applicant’s military records revealed several DD Forms 214 capturing his service from 26 Nov 68 to 31 Jan 91. It is a common misperception that all DD Form 214 information is carried forward to a consolidated ‘retirement’ DD Form 214. Each document carries its own weight as a record for a specific period of active duty and one does not replace another. Each is a valid certificate of discharge and appropriately records prior active and inactive time. There is no error in the record of his authorized time in service. 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 13 Oct 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, including attachments, in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. While we acknowledge the applicant’s request for a DD Form 214 reflecting his entire military career, we do not believe he has demonstrated evidence of an injustice, as compared to others in his similar situation. 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. The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-00452 was considered: Exhibit A. DD Form 149, dated 28 Jan 15, w/atchs. Exhibit B. Applicant's Master Personnel Records. Exhibit C. Memorandum, AFPC/DPSOR, dated 5 May 15. Exhibit D. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 13 Oct 15.
