	COUNSEL:  NONE

	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty be corrected to reflect the following:

a.	Block 19a, Mailing Address After Separation to read 223 Logan Ave, State College, PA 16801.

b.	Block 19b, Nearest Relative, to read Pamela Smerbeck.

c.	Block 20, Member Requests Copy 6 Be Sent to read PA.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He chose a temporary address due to his short-notice separation and he did not have sufficient time to plan.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served in the Regular Air Force from 18 Mar 14 to 28 Jun 16.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2STM recommends denying the application indicating the corrections are administrative in nature without effect and correcting them could have a greater negative impact on the applicant.  Correction is warranted if incorporated with an action that impacts a benefit/entitlement. The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 26 Sep 17 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.   After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error and injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2STM and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

CERTIFICATION:
