INDEX CODE: 110.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: COL STAN TWARDY (RET)
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Numerous corrections be made to his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from active Duty.
2. His DD Form 214 and DD Forms 215, Correction to DD Form 214 be combined
into one DD Form 214.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has not lived at the referenced address in 20 years. Mail sent there
will not be received. His cancer is in remission and he underwent neck
surgery requiring additional back and knee surgery.
In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of letters from his
counsel, DD Form 214, DD Forms 215; AF Form 973, Request for Authorization
of Change of Administrative Orders; name change request letter, court
order, public notice and AFPC/DPSS and DPSOY letters.

________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was released from active service and placed on the Temporary
Disability Retired List (TDRL) on 22 January 1986 in the grade of colonel
due to a physical disability. He remained on the TDRL until 17 July 1987,
at which time he was removed and permanently retired with a 100% disability
rating.
He served 11 years, 7 months, and 17 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of his request to change his address.
DPSOA states the DD Form 214 is used to verify military service, not
current residence. The DD Form 214 reflects the address provided by the
applicant as his mailing address after his discharge or release from
military service. The address in Block 19 is only designed or intended to
reflect the address in which he intends to reside after separation and may
not be changed as members relocate for personal reasons. DPSOA recognizes
that many service members may no longer reside at the address provided at
the time of discharge. However, this form is not designed to provide
routine address corrections based on relocation and is not intended to be
utilized as verification of current address for identification purposes, it
is a record of military service only.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSD recommends denial of his request to change his narrative
reason for separation from “temporary” to “permanent.” DPSD states the DD
Form 214 verifies military service at the time of separation. His
narrative reason for separation in Block 28, correctly reflects that he was
placed on the TDRL. His request to amend or change his DD Form 214 would
be in violation of Air Force Instructions and is not authorized.
The complete DPSD evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responded to the Air Force evaluations with a letter
reiterating his previous contentions and additional documentation extracted
from his military records.
His complete response, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit F.
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice warranting the requested changes to his
DD Form 214 regarding the narrative reason for his separation, the addition
of his previous surname, and his change of address. We agree with the Air
Force offices of primary responsibility that these portions of his DD Form
214 were properly completed and are in compliance with the governing
regulations. We have been made aware that his remaining requests are
errors that have been completed administratively and he will be issued a
new DD Form 214 reflecting those corrections. Threfore, in the absence of
persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the additional relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of 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.
