ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05184-2
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect his name as XXX XXX and he
be issued a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214.
RESUME OF CASE:
On 22 August 2013, the Board considered and denied the
applicants request to correct his records to reflect his name
as XXX XXX to receive medical treatment from the Veterans
Affair Medical Center. The Board found his name as reflected in
his records was not recorded in error. For an accounting of the
facts and circumstances surrounding the applicants request and
the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the
Original Record of Proceedings.
On 27 September 2013, the applicant submitted a request for
reconsideration. The applicant contends his name was changed on
26 January 1983. As new evidence in support of his request, he
submits an amended birth certificate.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit G.
On 28 February 2014, AFPC/DPSIRP issued an AF IMT 281,
Notification of Change in Service Members Official Records,
reflecting the applicants name change in his official records
to XXX XXX (Exhibit H).
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of changing the applicants DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty
Service. During the applicants period of active duty service
from 20 August 1965 to 15 January 1969, he signed and certified
all documents as XXX XXX. On 26 January 1983, his birth
certificate was changed to reflect XXX XXX based on use as an
alias.
AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, is the governing directive
for the DD Form 214 and directs the name on the DD Form 214 be
recorded as listed on the military members DD Form 4,
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document-Armed Forces of the United
States. A review of the applicants reenlistment reflects XXX
XXX and remained that until the DD Form 214 was published on
15 January 1969.
For instances where a name change is effective after the date of
publication of a DD Form 214, the member shows the agency
providing the benefit any and all legal documentation to explain
such a change. This situation is not unique.
The recognized use of an alias does not constitute a change to a
DD Form 214. The applicant has not provided evidence that the
documents he signed throughout his military career or DD Form
214 were prepared in error.
The complete AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit I.
APPLICANTS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 20 June 2014, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit J). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings, the Board determined that there was
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in
support of his appeal and the evidence of record, we do not
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in
our previous decision. While AFPC/DPSIRP has issued a change to
the official record, we do not find the DD Form 214 was recorded
in error. Therefore, in view of the above, and in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable consideration of the applicants request.
________________________________________________________________
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.
