RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-05212

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to correct the spelling of his first name (administratively resolved) and his job title.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His first name is spelled incorrectly on his DD Form 214.  At the time of his separation his job title was Computer Operations Specialist.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, he commenced his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 1 October 1982.  On 14 August 1996, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 13 years, 10 months, and 14 days of active service. 

Block 11, Primary Specialty, on the applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects 2S702 - Inventory Management Crftmn, 13 years & 2 months.   

The applicant’s AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation, dated 2 July 1996, reflects the applicant’s Primary Air Force Specialty Code (PAFSC) as 27S02.

On 16 March 2016, AFPC/DP2SSM notified the applicant his DD Form 214 will be administratively corrected to reflect the correct spelling of his first name (Exhibit C).

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 D.    

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP3ST recommends granting partial relief indicating there is evidence of an error or an injustice.  

AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, states enter the primary AF Specialty code (PAFSC) and all additional AFSCs in which the member served for 1 year or more, during the service member's continuous active military service.  For each AFSC, show the highest skill level in which the member performed duties and give the AFSC title (Not Duty Title) with the years and months of service.

The applicant’s specialty title listed on his DD Form 214 is incorrect.  According to AFMAN 36-2108, Enlisted Classification, the 2S072 official title was Supply Systems Analysis Craftsman and the title listed on his DD Form 214 is in fact for AFSC 2S071; which the applicant did not hold nor perform duty in while on active duty. Upon review of his microfiche record, they located his separation order from active duty and confirmed his PAFSC at that time was 2S072.  In addition, the applicant performed duty from 17 November 1982 to 31 January 1987 in AFSC 64551, Materiel Facilities Specialist; but this was not captured in his original DD Form 214.

DP3ST recommends the applicant’s request for relief relative to the title of the AFSC on his DD Form 214 be corrected, but his request for the specific requested title be disapproved as it never existed.  Furthermore, add the 64551 AFSC and associated information not originally captured.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3ST evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 15 June 2016, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E).  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.  Sufficient 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 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.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be corrected as indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from active Duty, Item 11 Primary Specialty be amended to reflect: 

a.  2S072, Supply Systems Analysis Craftsman, 9 Years and 6 Months.

b.  64551, Materiel Facilities Specialist, 4 Years and 2 months.
