RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-03799

M	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to reflect he was honorably discharged on 26 Aug 74.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DD Form 214 is incorrect reflecting he was placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) on 29 Mar 73 when he was honorably discharged on 26 Aug 74.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 30 Mar 73, the applicant was placed on the TDRL as an Air Force airman first class and was credited with 1 year, 4 months, and 4 days of active service.

On 26 Aug 74, per Special Order No. AC-24644, the applicant was removed from the TDRL and discharged by reason of Physical Disability with entitlement to disability severance pay.

Per AFI 36-3202, Table 2, Rule 18, states if member is being separated because of removal from TDRL, then no DD Form 214 will be reissued.

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2STM-214 recommends denying the application.  In the removal from TDRL letter dated 6 Aug 74, paragraph 2, states member would receive “The orders and an Honorable discharge certificate as a result of the removal action”, but does not mention a new DD Form 214 being completed.  The applicant’s DD Form 214 is correct in block 11c since removal from TDRL did not require a new DD Form 214.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 04 Jan 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.   After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2STM-214 and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

CERTIFICATION:

The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered Docket Number BC-2017-03799 in Executive Session on 11 Jul 18:
