RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03250
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 20 APRIL 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, “Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge,” be corrected to reflect an accurate report of his Related
Civilian Occupation and Dictionary of Occupational Title (DOT) number.
Additionally, his hair color is listed black and should be brown.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214 does not accurately report the Related Civilian Occupation
and DOT number for the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) in which he
performed while on active duty.
He has applied for several government jobs that require a copy of his DD
Form 214, and believes that this error has had an effect on the human
resources personnel. All the jobs that he seeks are of an administrative
nature.
The applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s military records reflect he served on active duty from 2 Sep 55
to 1 Sep 59. At the time of his release from active duty his DD Form 214
reflected under Item 25b, “Related Civilian Occupation and D.O.T. Number” –
Radio Operator, 0-61.33.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAC recommends that no corrective action be taken, and that if the
Board is inclined to grant relief, they have no option to recommend.
The applicant did not provide any documentation to support correction of
his DD Form 214.
DPPAC states that Air Force Regulation 35-10, Separation Processing, 17 Mar
59, states that if the specialty represented by the AFSC has a related
civilian occupation, enter the job title and number from the DOT, if
available. They no longer have the DOT in effect at the time of
applicant’s separation to verify the accuracy of this entry.
The DPPAC evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In his response, he states that at no time did he ever handle or even see a
military radio. In 1956, he was assigned to the Army Language School in
Monterey, CA to study Russian. Two weeks before graduation he was released
for not meeting the security clearance criteria needed for this position.
He was then assigned to NORAD, as a teletype operator. After about a year
and a half he was assigned to a communications squadron in Okinawa. From
the time he was at NORAD until his discharge he was a teletype operator.
He would like his DD Form 214 to reflect an adequate description of the
civilian equivalent of his service. He would prefer an administrative
(office) designation.
Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 reviewing the evidence of record
and the applicant’s submission, we are unable to verify the accuracy of the
applicant’s related civilian occupation, DOT number, and his hair color at
the time of his separation from the Air Force. In view of this, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 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 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.

Air Force Instruction 36-3202, Separation Documents, 20 May 94, states that item 11 of the DD Form 214 will reflect the primary AFSC code (PAFSC) and all additional AFSCs in which the member served for one year or more, during member’s continuous active military service, and for each AFSC, the title with years and months of service. The Separation Program Designation (SPD) code issued in conjunction with his 18 June 2004 release from active duty is correct; however, a majority of the Board...
No AFSC existed for this career field. He requested assignment to a career field for which he had been trained. While he may not have been performing duties in this career field during his last few months in the Air Force, we do believe that it was his last career field in which he performed duties for which he was trained, In view of the above finding, we recommend his records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
