ADDENDUM TO
             RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05184-2
      
 				COUNSEL:  NONE
					
				HEARING DESIRED:  NO



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

His records be corrected to reflect his name as XXX XXX and he 
be issued a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214.



RESUME OF CASE:

On 22 August 2013, the Board considered and denied the 
applicant’s request to correct his records to reflect his name 
as XXX XXX to receive medical treatment from the Veteran’s 
Affair Medical Center.  The Board found his name as reflected in 
his records was not recorded in error.  For an accounting of the 
facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request and 
the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the 
Original Record of Proceedings.  

On 27 September 2013, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration.  The applicant contends his name was changed on 
26 January 1983.  As new evidence in support of his request, he 
submits an amended birth certificate.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit G.

On 28 February 2014, AFPC/DPSIRP issued an AF IMT 281, 
Notification of Change in Service Members Official Records, 
reflecting the applicant’s name change in his official records 
to XXX XXX (Exhibit H).



AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of changing the applicant’s DD Form 
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty 
Service.  During the applicant’s period of active duty service 
from 20 August 1965 to 15 January 1969, he signed and certified 
all documents as XXX XXX.  On 26 January 1983, his birth 
certificate was changed to reflect XXX XXX based on use as an 
alias.  

AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, is the governing directive 
for the DD Form 214 and directs the name on the DD Form 214 be 
recorded as listed on the military members DD Form 4, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document-Armed Forces of the United 
States.  A review of the applicant’s reenlistment reflects XXX 
XXX and remained that until the DD Form 214 was published on 
15 January 1969.  

For instances where a name change is effective after the date of 
publication of a DD Form 214, the member shows the agency 
providing the benefit any and all legal documentation to explain 
such a change.  This situation is not unique.

The recognized use of an alias does not constitute a change to a 
DD Form 214.  The applicant has not provided evidence that the 
documents he signed throughout his military career or DD Form 
214 were prepared in error.

The complete AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit I. 



APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 20 June 2014, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit J).  As of this date, this office has received no 
response.



THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In earlier findings, the Board determined that there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action.  After 
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in 
support of his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not 
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in 
our previous decision.  While AFPC/DPSIRP has issued a change to 
the official record, we do not find the DD Form 214 was recorded 
in error.  Therefore, in view of the above, and in the absence 
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to 
recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request.

________________________________________________________________

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.
