RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02669
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His military specialty occupation be listed on his Enlisted Record and
Report of Separation as carpenter, rather than cook.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The error in his record has caused him to lose time with his union,
resulting in a lower pension rate.
He was unaware that he lost all of his first years as a union carpenter
until recently.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Army Air Corps who served on active
duty from 23 October 1942 to 18 October 1945. The Enlisted Record and
Report of Separation, Honorable Discharge, lists his military occupational
code as Cook, 060.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAC recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
the applicant’s records do not substantiate that his record is incorrect.
His records indicate that, at the time of his discharge, his occupational
specialty was cook. In addition, the transcript of his discharge hearing
reflects that he testified that he was performing duty as a cook.
The AFPC/DPPAC 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 26 September 2003 for review and response within 30 days. However, as
of this date, this office has received no 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. After a thorough review of the evidence
of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his
military specialty occupation is incorrectly listed on his Enlisted Record
and Report of Separation as cook, rather than carpenter. In this respect,
we note that the evidence of record indicates that, at the time of his
discharge, his occupational specialty was cook. In addition, the
transcript of his discharge hearing reflects that he testified that he was
performing duty as a cook. He has provided no evidence to indicate that
his military specialty occupation was carpenter. In the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find that he has failed to sustain his burden
that he has suffered either an error or an injustice. Hence, we find no
compelling 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 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.
