RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-04559
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect his correct Social Security Number (SSN).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His SSN as reflected in his military records has been determined to be incorrect by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of a document from the SSA verifying a SSN assigned to the applicant; and a DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Records Under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552, dated 12 December 2008, with his DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty, as an attachment.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 29 February 1972 and served as a jet engine mechanic until being honorably discharged on 28 May 1976. His DD Form 214 reflects the same SSN as the SSN shown on his DD Form 4, Enlistment Contract – Armed Forces of the United States, dated 29 February 1972, which he now contends is incorrect.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSS recommends denial of the requested relief as they are unable to change the applicant’s SSN after-the-fact since he has no continuing affiliation with the Air Force as a retiree or reservist.
On 17 December 2008, the applicant submitted a request to change his SSN in his service record and was advised they were unable to change after-the-fact the SSN he enlisted with, served with, and was discharged with. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2608, Table A7, allows the Air Force to make these changes on prior service personnel if the data in question was recorded in error. However, this is not the case as pertains to the applicant as the SSN recorded was the same SSN he presented for enlistment, and changing the service record after-the-fact is not appropriate.
The AFPC/DPSS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 2 June 2009, for review and comment, within 30 days. However, as of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, 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 the applicant has not been the victim of an error. We further note the applicant has not provided enough documentation in order for us to make a valid determination as to whether or not he has suffered an injustice. If the applicant can provide additional documentation explaining why, after more than 37 years subsequent to his enlistment, his SSN as reflected in his military records has been determined to be incorrect by the SSA as he alleges, we would be willing to reconsider his application. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application or to grant the requested relief.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
