RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05359

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect his date of birth (DOB) as 
19 Jul 60 rather than 18 Jul 60.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DOB on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty, is incorrect.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 16 Jul 84, the applicant commenced his service with the Regular 
Air Force and served on active duty until 3 Jun 88, when he was 
honorably discharged.

The applicant’s enlistment documents (DD Form 4, Enlistment/ 
Reenlistment Document, and AF Form 3007, Enlisted Agreement (Non-
Prior Service) United States Air Force), and his DD Form 214, 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, dated 3 Jun 
88, reflect his DOB as 18 Jul 60.

Under the provisions of AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel Records 
Systems, the DOB of a former service member will not be corrected 
unless there is evidence showing the DOB was erroneously recorded 
while serving in the Air Force.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice noting a review of the applicant’s 
military personnel records revealed he enlisted, served, and was 
discharged under the DOB 18 Jul 60.  There is no evidence the 
applicant’s DOB was erroneously recorded or that a DOB change was 
requested while on active duty.  Therefore, since the applicant 
has no continuing affiliation with the Air Force as a Reserve 
member or retiree, his military record cannot be amended after the 
fact.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIRP 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 2 Jun 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  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.  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.


FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:

After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the 
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.  
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error 
or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States 
Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction    36-2603.  
Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in 
filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of 
error or injustice which require resolution on the merits.  Thus, 
we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to 
excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner.
