RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-02039

	 		COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect he was issued a DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document - Armed Forces of the United States, upon graduation from the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA).  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He graduated from the USAFA and was commissioned as a second lieutenant (O-1); however, a DD Form 4 was never generated.  The form does not appear in his virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF), Automated Records Management System (ARMS), or Personnel Records Display Application (PRDA), and no one at the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) has been able to locate his form.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.  


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade O-1.  

On 23 May 2012, an AF IMT 133, Oath of Office (Military Personnel) was initiated showing the applicant was commissioned into the Regular Air Force.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ USAFA/A1A recommends denial.  The USAFA does not prepare a DD Form 4 on commissioned officers who enter into active duty.  In accordance with DODI 1304.02, Accessions Processing Data Collection Forms, the applicant does not fall into the proper category to receive a DD Form 4 because it is only utilized on enlisted personnel.  However, he should have received an AF 133 upon graduation of the USAFA.  

A complete copy of the HQ USAFA/A1A 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 23 January 2015 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 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 opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.  


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.
