RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-02258 

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED: NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Update his Duty History Information Sheet to reflect:	

a. His Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) as “2A373.”

b. His Duty Title as “Weapons System Coordinator.”

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) was unable to update his Duty History Information prior to his retirement.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s AF Forms 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru TSgt), with a closeout date of 8 Jul 10 and 1 Dec 10, respectively, his Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) is reflected as “2A373” and his Duty Title is reflected as “WEAPONS SYSTEM COORDINATOR (WSC).”

According to Special Order No. ACD-00788, dated 28 Dec 15, the applicant was permanently disability retired effective 28 Apr 16, and was credited with 12 years, 1 month, and 12 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/DP3AM recommends denial.  In this regard, DP3AM does not have the ability to update members Master Personnel Records after they are discharged. 
A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3AM 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 7 Dec 16 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.  Sufficient 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 believe the applicant is the victim of an error or injustice.  While we note the comments of AFPC/DP3AM indicating that relief should be denied because the applicant’s records cannot be updated due to him being retired, we believe a preponderance of the evidence substantiates that corrective action is warranted.  In this respect, we note the applicant has provided copies of his EPRs that prove his DAFSC skill-level was at the 7-level and his Duty Title was, in fact, noted as Weapons System Coordinator.  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: 

a. His Duty History Information sheet be amended to reflect his Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) as “2A373” and his Duty Title as “Weapons System Coordinator,” effective 9 Jul 09.  

b. His Duty History Information sheet be amended to remove the entry currently effective 25 Aug 10.
