RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05142 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be amended as follows: Item 25a, Specialty Number and Title, reflect “Intercept Systems Maintenance Technician.” Item 26, Decorations, Medals, Badges, Commendations, Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized, reflect the “Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon (SAEMR).” (Already reflected on his DD Form 214). Item 28, Service Schools or Colleges, College Training Courses and/or Post-Graduate Courses Successfully Completed, reflect “Goodfellow AFB, Texas, February 1965 to July 1965, AZK30474.” (Will be administratively corrected). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was advised that his specialty was Top Secret so it was omitted from his DD Form 214. He joined an alumni association and learned that others had the specialty listed on their DD Form 214. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 31 July 1962 and was released from active duty on 13 December 1966. In a letter dated 5 March 2015, AFPC/DPSIT informed the applicant his DD Form 214 would be administratively corrected to add his training at Goodfellow AFB, TX in 1965. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIC recommends denial of the applicant’s request to change the primary specialty and title on his DD Form 214 as no such Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) title existed during his service tenure. Perhaps it was a duty title, which is not included on the DD Form 214. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIC evaluation is at Exhibit B. AFPC/DPSID verified that the applicant’s SAEMR is correctly annotated on his DD Form 214. Therefore, no action is required. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 12 August 2015 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 to warrant amending his DD Form 214, Item 25a, Specialty Number and Title, to reflect “Intercept Systems Maintenance Technician.” 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 its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Aside from the administrative correction noted above, we find no basis to recommend granting the additional 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.
