AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00167
INDEX CODE 100.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His name be changed on his DD Form 214 from J--- W--- to J--- W---.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His birth certificate was filed incorrectly upon entering the
military. In addition, his dependents will not have any problems with
legal matters or benefits that he is entitled to upon his death.
In support of his submission, the applicant submits a copy of his
birth certificate and other related documents.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 January 1968 and was
progressively promoted to the grade of sergeant having assumed that
grade effective and with a date of rank of 1 March 1970. On 12 June
1975, he was honorably discharged from the Air Force after serving 7
years, 5 months and 4 days of active service.
The remaining 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 at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denied. The DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, is only
used to correct an error on the DD Form 214 if it was in error at the
time of discharge. In this case, the member signed his name correctly
at his time of discharge and this was his legal name. Accordingly,
DPPRS recommends his records remain the same and his request to change
his name on the DD Form 214 be denied. He has not filed a timely
request.
All documents in the member’s military records including his
enlistment contracts and DD Forms 214, show the name and are signed
with “W---.” The member stated that when he joined the military his
birth certificate was incorrect; however, the member never showed an
attempt to change his name while he was in the service. While the
member’s name has been changed on the Air Force file for any contact
purpose, his name on his DD Form 214 remains the same since this is
the name he served under.
The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 15 Mar 02, for review and comment 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 file timely.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or an injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, the Board agrees with the opinion and recommendation of the
Air Force and adopt its rationale as the basis for the conclusion that
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, the Board finds
no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an material error or injustice; that the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the
application will only be reconsidered
upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not
considered with this application.
