RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2015-01797 COUNSEL:	NONE
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Block 11, Primary Specialty, be corrected to reflect the following:

1. “2A375” instead of “2A355.”
2.	2A355B, Advanced Fighter Aircraft Integrated Avionics, F-35. 3.	“2A071M” instead of “2A051.”

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has received 7-level training and skill levels in 2A375, 2A355B, and 2A071M. He has provided his career data brief in support of his claims.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 6 Feb 07, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
Effective 30 Apr 13, Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2A0X1S (Avionics Test Station and Components, Avionics Systems) was converted to 2A0X1M (Avionics Test Station and Components, B- 1/E-8/F-15 Avionics Systems).

On 15 Mar 15, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 8 years, 1 month, and 10 days of active service.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIC recommends approval of the applicant’s Primary skill level of 2A375 vice 2A355, and leave the 2A051 entry as-is. The applicant’s awarded primary AFSC at the time of separation was 2A375, in accordance with AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, Enter the primary AF specialty code (PAFSC)…Do not make a separate entry for each skill level below 7-level. As such, the applicant’s request for inclusion of his 2AFSC of 2A355B is inappropriate for listing on the DD Form 214, as it is the 5- skill level version of 2A375.

The applicant performed duties in AFSCs 2A031A and 2A051S; he did not perform duty at the 7-skill level, as required for inclusion. As such, 2A051 (not 2A071M his awarded 3AFSC) is the only other AFSC appropriate for listing on the DD Form 214.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIC 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 11 Jun 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 timely filed.
3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to include the applicant’s 5-skill level information on his DD Form 214. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. With regards to the applicant’s request for the inclusion of his secondary AFSC as 2A355B, it is the 5-skill level version of 2A375 and would be inappropriate to list on the DD Form 214. Additionally, the applicant did not perform duty at the 7-skill level to warrant recording of the 2A071M AFSC.
1.	

4.	Notwithstanding the above recommendation,  sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to warrant correcting the applicant’s Primary specialty from 2A355 to 2A375. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion  the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be corrected as indicated below.
