RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2017-05301

XXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) and Date of Birth be corrected on his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, dated 10 Jul 13.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His Home of Record and Date of Birth are inaccurate as currently reflected on his DD Form 4.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a currently serving Air Force Staff Sergeant.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2LT recommends partially granting the application, correcting the applicant’s Date of Birth on his DD Form 4.  However, recommends denying the HOR due to the applicant not having a break in service and no evidence of an error or injustice.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 20 Jun 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.  After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant has presented evidence sufficient to demonstrate an error regarding part, but not all, of his request.  In particular, the applicant has provided a State of Texas, Certificate of Birth, which is sufficient to justify granting the applicant’s request to correct his date of birth.  However, for the remainder of the applicant’s request, the evidence presented did not demonstrate an error or injustice, and the Board therefore finds no basis to recommend granting that portion of the applicant’s request.  Therefore, the Board recommends correcting the applicant’s records as indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, dated 10 July 2013, Item 6., Date of Birth, reads 25 April 1984. 

However, regarding the remainder of the applicant’s request, the Board recommends the applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice and the application could only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

CERTIFICATION:

The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered Docket Number BC-2017-05301 in Executive Session on 7 Aug 18:
