RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05017 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Block 1 - Name, Block 3 – Social Security Number, Block 5 – Date of Birth, Block 7b – Home of Record at Time of Entry, and Block 19b – Mailing Address after Separation be corrected. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She is an orphan and does not have any family. The individual listed on her DD Form 214 is another individual. As an orphan she does not have a God given name, social security number, date of birth, home of record or family. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 14 May 90. On 7 Oct 94, the Chief, Mental Health Clinic recommended the applicant be administratively discharged based on a personality disorder which was so severe that it limited the applicant’s ability to function effectively in a military environment. On 19 Oct 94, the applicant was notified by her commander that he was recommending her discharge for a condition that interferes with military service, specifically an adjustment disorder with mixed emotional features and a personality disorder not otherwise stated in accordance with AFR 39-10, Enlisted Personnel-Separation, Chapter 5, Section B, paragraph 5-11i. The commander also recommended if approved, that her service would be characterized as Honorable. On 20 Oct 94, the applicant acknowledged her commander’s intent to discharge her in accordance with 39-10. She also consulted counsel and waived her rights to submit statements on her behalf. On 24 Oct 94, the Staff Judge Advocate reviewed the discharge package and found it legally sufficient. On 28 Oct 94, the discharge authority approved the commander’s recommendation for discharge without probation or rehabilitation. On 3 Nov 94, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, and was credited with 4 years, 5 months, and 20 days of active service. The personal information listed on the applicant’s DD Form 214 match all documents in her official military personnel record (Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home of Record at Time of Entry). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C, D, and E. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. A review of the applicant’s record reveals the information in items 1, 3, 5, 7b on the DD Form 214 are accurate as provided during her enlistment. The only information that cannot be verified is item 19b, but that information has no bearing on any benefits or entitlements that the applicant may apply for using her DD Form 214. The applicant provided no evidence this information is incorrect. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, is the source document for Home of Record (HOR) and Place of Entry (POE). The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix Al, part 1, states, “The place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commission, appointed, enlisted or inducted, or ordered into the tour of active duty, unless there is a break in service of more than one full day. Only if a break in service exceeds one full day; may the member change the HOR.” After a thorough review of the applicant’ military personnel record and other supporting documentation, there does not appear to be an error or injustice in determining this applicant’s HOR justifying a change. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit D. AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, Table 4, Rule 51, states to include the address of the nearest relative. On 3 Nov 94, the applicant was discharged from active service for “Personality Disorder” and by her signature at that time, validated the information on her DD Form 214 to be accurate and correct. The address of the nearest relative is for the sole administrative purpose of delivering a copy of a DD Form 214 upon separation. With the applicant now in receipt of her DD Form 214, the address is void and has no further use. The applicant failed to prove she has no name, SSN, birthdate, home of record or relatives. In support of her claim she submits unsworn testimony. Based on her signature throughout her military record, there is no evidence of her contesting her identity, personal information, or that the relative listed in Block 19b of her DD Form 214 not being valid. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit E. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 12 Nov 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit F). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
