RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03667
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her name be changed from K----- L. S----- to K----- L. F----- in her
military personnel records.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She signed an original DD Form 2656, Data for Payment of Retired
Personnel, on 20 September 2001. All information on the form was
correct at the time she signed it. She married on 6 October 2001 and
was unable to update this form before her separation date on
16 November 2001. Therefore, she needs the form updated with her
spouse’s information.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provided a personal statement,
marriage certificate, and other documentation.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
During the period in question, the applicant enlisted in the Regular
Air Force on 18 August 1998 for a period of four (4) years.
On 6 October 2001, the applicant married.
The applicant’s name was placed on the Temporary Disability Retired
List (TDRL) on 17 November 2001, in the grade of staff sergeant.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSAMP recommended denial. They indicated that the marriage
certificate the applicant provided is not an original or certified
copy, therefore, it does not meet the legal requirements to be used as
a source document.
Air Force Instruction 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System,
Table A7.2, Rule 1, states that the documentation required to change
or correct a name as a result of marriage is the original or certified
copy of the marriage certificate. A letter was sent to the applicant
on 20 May 2002, requesting the required document. As of 9 July 2002,
the applicant has failed to provide their office with the necessary
documents.
The evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 30 August and 20 September 2002, a copy of the evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within thirty (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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an error or an 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
and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. The
marriage certificate the applicant provided is not an original or
certified copy, therefore it does not meet the legal requirements
according to Air Force Instruction 36-2608, to be used as a source
document. The Air Force Personnel Center has indicated that if the
applicant submits the proper documents, they will administratively
correct her records. We would strongly suggest the applicant do this.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or an 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.
