RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2020-00388

XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE
	
	HEARING REQUESTED: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

He receive credit for six years of active service in the Ohio Air National Guard (ANG) from 5 Mar 57 to 5 Mar 63.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

His NGB Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service in the Reserve of the Air Force and the Air National Guard of Ohio, dated 2 Jun 58, should reflect he spent six years active service in the Ohio ANG instead of one. 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

Per NGB Form 22, dated 4 Nov 58, the applicant was discharged from the ANG on 15 May 58 and credited with 1 year, 2 months and 10 days of creditable service.  

AIR FORCE EVALUATION

ARPC/DPTS recommends denying the application.  The applicant did not provide sufficient supporting documentation to justify a correction of his NGB Form 22.  There were no records for the applicant at National Personnel Records Center (NPRC).  The NGB Form 22 the applicant provided states, “This Airman has a 6 year obligation under the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, and has completed 1 year, 2 months and 10 days toward this obligation.” ARPC/DPTS is unable to change the NGB Form 22 to reflect six years of active ANG service without validating documentation such as pay records, point credit summary, or separation orders.  

The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION

The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 1 Jun 20 for comment (Exhibit C), but has received no response.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1.  The application was timely filed.

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

3.  After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/DPTS and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board recommends informing the applicant the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the Board will reconsider the application only upon receipt of relevant evidence not already presented.
