RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00142 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His records be corrected to reflect his social security account number (SSAN) as XXX-XX-XXXX versus XXX-XX-XXXX. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His SSAN is incorrect in his military records. He cannot obtain a home loan through the Department of Veterans Affairs because his SSAN is incorrect. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served on active duty from 17 Aug 00 through 16 Aug 04. The remaining facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2608, Military Personnel Record System, Table A7.1, Note 1 states “Do not correct records of former members unless evidence proves the SSAN used while serving with the Air Force (AF) was erroneously recorded”. Accordingly, official military personnel records cannot be amended after leaving military service unless evidence proves it was erroneously recorded while serving with the AF. A review of the applicant’s personnel records reveals his SSAN is documented as XXX-XX-XXXX. As this was the SSAN he presented at enlistment, and there was no change to this SSAN during his enlistment, it does not appear to have been erroneously recorded. A complete copy of the AFPC/ 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 6 Jul 15, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. However, if the applicant provides documentation verifying his SSAN prior to entering active duty, the Board would be willing to review the documentation for possible reconsideration. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
