RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 		DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01269

				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected as follows:

	a.  His service of 11 months and 8 days while attending the 
United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School be included 
towards retirement credit.

	b.  Block 15, Commissioned Through Service Academy, reflect 
“YES”.  Administratively corrected.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He attended both the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory 
School and the United States Air Force Academy, yet the time 
spent at Preparatory School is not reflected in his Total Active 
Federal Military Service and his source of commission listed on 
his DD Form 214 incorrectly reflects “NO”.

In support of his request, the applicant provided a Letter of 
Certification from the United States Air Force Academy which 
validates he attended from 28 Jun 00 and graduated 2 Jun 04. 

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 21 Jul 99, the applicant entered United States Air Force 
Academy Preparatory School.

On 28 Jun 00, the applicant was released from active duty and 
enrolled in the United States Air Force Academy.  The applicant 
was furnished a DD Form 214, with an Honorable discharge, and 
credited with 11 months and 8 days of active service.

On 2 Jun 04, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. 

On 9 Nov 14, the applicant’s service dates were verified and his 
time at the Air Force Academy Preparatory School was added to 
his Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD).  His 
TAFMSD was adjusted to reflect 24 Jun 03 which is 11 months and 
8 days prior to his Academy graduation and commissioning date of 
2 Jun 04. 

On 29 Sep 14, the applicant was furnished an Honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 10 years, 3 months, and 28 days 
of active service.   

On 22 Sep 15, the Air Force Personnel Center produced an AF Form 
215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, which corrected Block 15a, 
Commissioned Through Service Academy, to reflect “YES”.

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/DPSIPV recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  

The applicant was previously awarded credit for his time spent 
at the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School, and 
that time is reflected on both of his DD Form 214s.

The applicant’s most recent DD Form 214 covers the time from 
commissioning to his separation and credits him with 10 years, 3 
months, and 28 days; while, Block 12d, Total Prior Active 
Service, reflects 11 months and 8 days which is his prior 
service while attending the Preparatory School.  

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 22 Dec 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 office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
that relief beyond that already granted administratively is not 
warranted.  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.
