STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant's military personnel records reflect he enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 September 1982 for a period of four years.  He was released from active duty on 13 May 1986 under the provisions of AFR 39-10 (early separation program - strength reduction) and transferred to the Air Force Reserve.  He had completed a total of 3 years, 6 months and 11 days and was serving in the grade of senior airman (E-4) at the time of separation.

On 16 August 1986, applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard (ANG) and Reserve of the Air Force in the grade of E-4 for a period of six years.  He continued to serve until he was relieved from his assignment with the Pennsylvania ANG and honorably discharged, effective 5 April 1993.  On 6 April 1993, he was transferred to HQ ARPC/IRRS.  The ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary, prepared 17 July 1993, reveals the applicant completed a total of 10 years, 8 months and 11 days of satisfactory Federal service.  On 14 September 1994, he was relieved from his Reserve assignment (Nonobligated Nonparticipating Ready Personnel Section) and honorably discharged from the Air Force Reserve in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).

During the time frame of 1982 - 1990, the documents contained in the applicant’s military personnel records (MPR) reflect his SSN as ***‑**-.  Subsequent documents reveal applicant’s SSN as ***‑**-.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPSFCMP recommends the application be denied.  DPSFCMP states that the applicant’s SSN on his enlistment contract was ***-**- and that he served under this SSN.  The applicant was asked to provide a letter from the Social Security Administration stating the requested SSN was indeed his SSN on the date of enlistment.  The applicant did not respond to their request.  The AFPC/DPSFCMP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 7 May 2004 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are unpersuaded that the requested change should be granted.  We note that the DD Form 214, issued on 13 May 1986, accurately reflects the applicant’s SSN while serving on active duty.  No evidence has been presented from the Social Security Administration to indicate the applicant’s SSN at the time of his enlistment was incorrect.  In view of the foregoing, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
