                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  03-00156
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,  Item
11, Primary Specialty, be  corrected  to  read  “A11450  (Aircrew,  Aircraft
Loadmaster)  and  47251C  (Special  Vehicle  Mechanic,  Materials   Handling
Equipment.”)
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His AF Form 2096, Classification/On-The-Job Training  Action,  reflects  his
correct Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs).

In support of his request, applicant submits a copy of his  AF  Forms  2096.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 1 February  1979  in  the
grade of E-1 for a period of 4 years.  He was progressively promoted to  the
grade of senior airman (E-4) effective 1 April 1981.  On  19  October  1981,
the applicant was discharged from the Air Force for misconduct due  to  drug
use and issued a general discharge.  He had served 2 years, 8 months and  19
days on active duty.

On 24 February 2003, after a review of his military  personnel  record,  the
Classification Branch, determined that there was an error  on  his  DD  Form
214.  On  3  March  2002,  the  Separations  Procedure  Separations  Branch,
corrected the applicant’s DD Form 214 by issuing a DD Form 215,  to  reflect
correct periods of service for each AFSC (See Exhibit B).

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to his AFSCs, are contained  in  the
letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAC recommends the application be denied.  DPPAC states AFSC  A11430,
Aircrew, Apprentice Aircraft Loadmaster, was withdrawn 17 June 1980  due  to
incapacity to perform required duties.  For  AFSC  472X1C,  Special  Vehicle
Maintenance Materials  Handling  Equipment,  applicant  failed  to  complete
upgrade training to the 5-skill level due to his discharge  for  misconduct.
DPPAC also states  that  personnel  records  reflect  that  the  periods  of
service for AFSCs A11430 and 47231C differ from the period indicated in  the
item 11 of the DD Form 214.

The AFPC/DPPPR evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force advisory was sent to the applicant on  7 March  2003
for review and comment.  As of this date, this office  has  not  received  a
response.

_________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  Applicant’s contentions  are  duly  noted;
however,  we  do  not  find  these  uncorroborated  assertions,  in  and  by
themselves, sufficiently persuasive to override the  rationale  provided  by
the Air Force.  While documents  reflect  changes  in  on-the-job  training,
there is no documentation showing the award of the 5-skill level for  either
Air Force Specialty Code.  In view of  the  above  and  in  the  absence  of
evidence by the applicant  substantiating  his  claim,  we  agree  with  the
recommendation of the Air Force and adopt the  rationale  expressed  as  the
basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain  his  burden
that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.   Therefore,  we  find
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of probable 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.
