AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00075 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His WD AGO Form 100, Army of the United States Separation 
Qualification Record, be corrected as follows: 

 

1. Item 10, Military Occupational Assignments, be corrected to 
show he attended Ammunition School in Jun 43. 

 

2. Item 13, Title-Description-Related Civilian Occupation, be 
corrected to reflect “Ammunition NCO Loading Bombs on B24”. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His WD AGO Form 100 does not show that he attended Ammunition 
School in Jun 43. It also doesn’t reflect the correct duty 
title for the work he performed while on active duty in the 
European Theater of Operation (ETO) during World War II (WWII). 
Item 13 on the WD AGO Form 100 states he was an “Airplane 
Armorer (911)” and worked on machine guns and loaded bombs and 
machine gun ammunition. Since he did not have anything to do 
with machine guns, he wants it to state he was an Ammunition NCO 
who loaded bombs on B24’s. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
WD AGO Form 53-55, Enlisted Record and Report of Separation 
Honorable Discharge, Honorable Discharge Certificate, and WD AGO 
Form 100, Army of the United States Separation Qualification 
Record. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

According to the applicant’s available military personnel 
records, he entered the Army Air Force (AAF) on 13 Mar 43. 

 


On 10 Mar 44, the applicant arrived in the ETO; on 19 Jun 45 he 
returned to the USA. 

 

On 13 Oct 45, the applicant was honorably discharged from the 
AAF. 

 

On 27 Jun 12, the applicant was sent an e-mail from HQ 
AFPC/DPSIT saying that his request did not include information 
on the ammunition school he attended. It requested additional 
documentation so that a determination could be made and his 
request could be processed. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of 
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial, indicating the applicant did 
not provide documentation to validate that he attended 
Ammunition School, although his WD AGO Form 53-54 did say he 
attended Ordnance School in Lansing Michigan which may refer to 
weapons and ammunition. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIDC recommends denial of the applicant’s request 
related to the specialty he performed during his service. 
According to the official records, the applicant performed duty 
as an Airplane Armorer (911), from Mar 43 to Mar 45. In 
addition, the WD AGO Form 100 contains the sentence “Loaded 
bombs and machine gun ammunition on aircraft.” Neither the 
information provided nor the official records indicate applicant 
ever served as an “Ammunition NCO Loading Bombs on B24.” 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIDC evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 7 Aug 12 for review and comment within 30 days. As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit E). 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. Insufficient 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; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion 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 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.
