IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04656 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, issued in conjunction with his 1 Sep 09 retirement, be 
corrected to reflect in Item 11, Primary Specialty, the 
following data: 

 

 3C072, Communications-Computer Systems Programming 

 Craftsman, 8 years, 9 months; 

 

 8C000, Family Support Center, 1 year; 

 

 1A151B, Flight Engineer Journeyman, Helicopter, 

 6 years, 6 months 

 

 2A353J, Tactical Aircraft Maintenance Journeyman, 

 General (Except F-15/F-16), 6 years, 1 month. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214 is grossly inaccurate and does not reflect his 
web submission, and fails to give credit to over 12½ years of 
service in the flight and aircraft maintenance career field. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214 Web Screenshot and a copy of his DD Form 214 he 
received at retirement. 

 

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

the provisions of AFI 36-3203, in conjunction with his 1 Sep 09 
retirement. He was credited with 22 years, 5 months, and 9 days 
of active duty service. 

 


The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIDC provides no recommendation, stating, in part, that 
in the absence of specific source documentation that validates 
the requested corrective action, they could not determine with 
any certainty the length of time the applicant performed in each 
of the Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) and the skill level he 
attained. 

 

They conducted a thorough review of the applicant’s record which 
only contained circumstantial evidence, performance reports. 
They noted that only AF Form 2096, Classification or On-the-Job 
Training Action, a P-Series order, PC-III generated AFSC action 
notice, or Report on Individual Personnel (RIP) can serve as 
source documents to award an AFSC, not performance reports. As 
a result, they were not able to determine, from the 
documentation in the record, the exact month and year of some of 
the changes requested by the applicant. In addition, they noted 
that some of the AFSCs have gone through AFSC conversions to a 
different code. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIDC evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 4 Feb 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

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

 

2. The application was 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, while we note the comments by the Air Force 
office of primary responsibility, based on our own independent 
review, we did not find the evidence provided, sufficient to 


determine the length of time the applicant served in the 
respective career fields. Should the applicant be able to 
provide documentation, as noted in the Air Force evaluation, 
then we would be inclined to reconsider his appeal. In view of 
the above and 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 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.
