RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01064 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His social security number (SSN) on his DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, be corrected. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His social security number is incorrect on his DD Form 214. He did not have his social security card when he enlisted but the recruiter had to make his quota. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who served from 2 November 1970 through 28 June 1974. The first three numbers of his SSN listed on his DD Form 214 are 322. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial. Air Force Instruction 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System, table A7.1, note 1 states “do not correct records of former members unless the evidence proves the social security number used while serving with the Air Force was erroneously recorded.” A review of the applicant’s record revealed all documents containing the SSN beginning with 322 as that was the SSN presented for enlistment and there was no change in the SSN during his enlistment. It does not appear to have been erroneously recorded. Since the applicant has no continuing affiliation with the Air Force as a Reserve member or retiree, his record is unable to be amended after the fact. The complete DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 29 September 2014, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no response. ________________________________________________________________ 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 an injustice. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete submission, we are not persuaded that a change in the record is warranted. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case and find no evidence the applicant served under the submitted social security number. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-01064 in Executive Session on 8 January 2015 and 29 April 2014, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-01064 was considered: Exhibit A.
