IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05797
COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His name be changed on his DD Form 214, Report of Separation
from Active Duty.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He recently began working on Fairchild Air Force Base and was
told to have his name corrected on his DD Form 214.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, copies of his passport, drivers license and DD Form
214.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial. DPSIRP states that Air Force
Instruction 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System, allows
the Air Force to make name changes on prior service personnel if
the data in question was recorded in error. The applicant did
not include the appropriate legal documentation to support his
request. On 14 Jan 2013, DPSIRP sent him a letter requesting he
provide the original or certified copy of the legal document
that changed his name for consideration in deciding the outcome
of his request. As of 25 Mar 2013 the requested supporting
documentation has not been received from the applicant. The
absence of any supporting documentation does not provide proof
that the data was recorded in error or if the name change was
made before the veteran was discharged from the Air Force.
The complete DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 Apr 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
D).
________________________________________________________________
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. 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 or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.
