_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 19 December 
1977. He was separated with a general discharge (under honorable 
conditions) in the grade of airman first class after serving 
2 years and 23 days of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIR recommends denial. DPSIR states that AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System, allows the Air Force to change 
a name while an individual is on active duty or if the data in 
question was recorded in error. 

 

On 8 February 2010, AFPC/DPSIR informed the applicant that they 
were unable to make the requested name change. The records show 
the applicant enlisted, served, and was discharged under his 
original name. The applicant has no affiliation with the Air 
Force as a Reserve member or retiree. 

 

The complete DPSIR 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 June 2010 for review and comment within 30 days. As of 
this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was not timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of 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 and adopt its 
rational as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
