________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was commissioned in the Regular Air Force on 4 November 1986.
On 30 November 2006, she was retired in the grade of Lieutenant Colonel with service characterized as honorable.  

She served a total of 20 years and 27 days on active duty.

The applicant's requests regarding her MSM, formal training, and Veteran Administration were administratively corrected.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPAMD approved her request to change her DD Form 214 to reflect she had a dental exam.  Her DD Form 214 was administratively corrected.  DPAMD states the applicant's DD Form 214, line 17 was marked “No” indicating she was not provided a complete dental exam and all the appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 days of separation.  She provided a sign memorandum from the MPF stating the dental exam was provided within 90 days of separation/retirement and appropriate dental services/treatment was provided by the Armed Forces, therefore line 17 should be changed to Yes.

The complete DPAMD evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSIDC recommends denial of her request to include the requested AFSCs on the DD Form 214. DPSIDC states neither the documentation the applicant originally provided nor other documentation submitted as a result of their requests on 18 October 2007 for additional information support the corrective action requested by the applicant.  AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, states item 11 of the DD Form 214 will reflect the primary AFSC and all additional AFSCs in which the member served for one year or more, during member's continuous active military service.  Furthermore, it will reflect, for each specialty, the highest skill level in which the member performed duties.  According to her correspondence, although AFSC 21M3 was recorded as a tertiary AFSC, she never actually perform duties in the specific AFSC.  She did, in fact perform duties as a munitions officer; however, these duties were accounted for when recorded as AFSCs 21AX and 21LX, as currently evidenced on her DD Form 214, item 11.  Although she was awarded AFSC 21M3 as a tertiary, it was only done to facilitate the tracking of members with munitions and maintenance experience. 

The complete DPSIDC evaluation, with attachment, is attached at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 4 April 2008 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit E).

________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  The applicant is requesting her DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect the AFSCs she performed in while on active duty.  After a thorough review of the available evidence and the applicant’s complete submission, we are not persuaded that her records (other than the administrative corrections already made) should be corrected.  We agree with the opinion and recommendation of AFPC/DPSIDC and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not provided sufficient documentation to support her request. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

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.
