             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-02635
            INDEX CODE:  100.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214 reflect his current name change.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust  and
the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts  pertaining  to  this  application,  extracted  from  the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter  prepared  by  the
appropriate office of the AIR  FORCE.  Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Records Procedures Branch, Directorate  of  Customer  Assistance,
HQ AFPC/DPSRP, reviewed this application and states  that  applicant’s  name
was properly recorded on  his  enlistment  documents,  service  records  and
subsequently on his separation documents from the Air Force.  The action  to
change his name was voluntary and initiated after  his  active  service  and
affiliation with the  Air  Force.   Applicant  has  not  presented  evidence
reflecting his name was  erroneously  recorded.   To  grant  relief  sought,
would cause undue administrative burden on the military record custodian  to
correct records that were not recorded in error.  Therefore, they  recommend
denial of applicant’s request.

A complete copy of the AIR FORCE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the AIR FORCE evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 12  October
1998, for review and response within 30 days.  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.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice.  Applicant had  his  name  legally
changed from Louis N. Acs to Louis N. Ace on 4 April 1973.  He request  that
his DD From 214 be amended to reflect this change.   In  view  of  the  fact
that his name has been legally changed and since he is not  requesting  that
his entire military  record  be  amended,  we  recommend  approval  of  this
application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that a new DD Form  214  (Certificate  of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be amended to  reflect  the  name  of
LOUIS N. ACE, rather than LOUIS N. ACS.
