RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-02710
INDEX CODE: 128.14
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Social Security number (SSN) be corrected.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He used an incorrect SSN while he was in the service. After he was
discharged from the Air Force he discovered his real SSN. He is purchasing
a home and wants to use Department Veterans Affairs (DVA) benefits.
In support of his request the applicant provided a personal statement, a
copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty and a copy of his Social Security card.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 26 Sep 79 for four years. On 25
Sep 83, he was discharged in the grade of senior airman (E-4). He served a
total of four years on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSS recommends denial. DPSS states the source document provided
does not meet the legal requirements for a correction of his records. Air
Force Instruction 36–2608, Military Personnel Records System, allows these
changes if it is shown the Air Force erroneously recorded the data. DPSS
asked the applicant by letter to provide a letter from the Social Security
Administration stating his SSN reflected the requested change at the time
of his enlistment. DPSS advised him that upon receipt, the change would be
made as requested. The applicant has failed to provide the necessary
documents.
The complete DPSS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 24 Oct
08, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has received no response (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
available evidence and the applicant’s complete submission, we cannot
confirm that his SSN is in error without official correspondence from the
Social Security Administration. Should he secure such documentation, we
would be willing to reconsider his appeal. Therefore, 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. In the
absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis
to recommend favorable consideration of his application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice; that the application was denied
without a personal appearance; and the application will only be
reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence no
considered with this application.
