IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00310
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be changed to reflect his name as Rivera Feliciano,
Jean C., instead of Rivera, Feliciano Jean Carlos.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The order of his name is incorrect in his military personnel
records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 26 Oct 04 and served on active duty
until 25 Sep 10 when he was furnished an honorable discharge and
credited with 5 years and 11 months of total active service.
The applicants military personnel records indicate that he
served under the name Rivera, Feliciano Jean Carlos during his
military career.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force which is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial, indicating the applicant has not
provided appropriate legal documentation to support his request.
Air Force Instruction 36-2608, Military Personnel Records
System, Table A7, allows the Air Force to make these changes if
the data in question was recorded in error. On 4 Feb 13, they
sent the applicant a letter requesting that he forward the
original or a certified copy of the legal document that changed
his name. The applicant has not provided the requested
supporting documentation. The absence of such documentation
does not provide proof the data was recorded in error or if the
name change was made before the he was discharged from the Air
Force. Therefore, they are unable to amend his military record
after the fact.
The complete AFPC/DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 27 Mar 13 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 timely filed.
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 find no evidence of an error or injustice.
Based on the available evidence of record, the applicant has not
provided any evidence to show that his name, as it appears in
his military personnel records, was recorded in error.
Furthermore, the applicants military personnel records reflect
that his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, was accurately prepared in accordance with
governing directives and his name mirrors his enlistment
agreement which was verified by the applicants initials and
signature. 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 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.
