_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The social security number (SSN) on his DD Form 214 be changed from ***-**-XXXX to ***-**-XXXX.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

According to the Social Security Administration, his correct social security number is ***-**-XXXX.

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214 and verification documents from the Social Security Office.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant's military personnel records reflect he enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22 June 1973 for a period of six years.  He was honorably discharged on 14 May 1974 under the provisions of AFM 39-10 (convenience of the government).  He had completed a total of 10 months and 23 days and was serving in the grade of airman first class (E-3) at the time of separation.

Documents contained in the applicant’s military personnel records (MPR) reflect his SSN as ***-**-XXXX.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPSFCMP recommends the application be denied.  DPSFCMP states that the applicant’s SSN on his enlistment contract was ***-**-XXXX 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 14 May 1974, 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.
