RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02777

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, Block 19a., mailing address after separation, be changed.  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her address was misspelled and never corrected on her DD Form 214.  She did not receive an answer or assistance on how to make a correction when she discovered the error more than three years ago.  However, at this time, she need the correction made for employment purposes.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.  

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 6 July 2010.  

On 14 June 2011, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 11 months and 9 days of active service.  

The remaining relevant 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/DPSOR recommends denial.  The sole purpose of the information listed in block 19a is for the delivery of the DD Form 214.  Since the applicant is already in receipt of her DD Form 214, the information in block 19a has no further use.  The information is only administrative and has no impact on employment, veteran benefits, or entitlements.  It is in the best interest of the applicant to only have corrections made to those areas of the DD Form 214 that affect benefits and entitlements.  
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR 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 8 December 2015 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 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 of injustice.  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.
