IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00433
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His place of birth be corrected to reflect Marrero, Louisiana.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not born in Marrero, Mississippi as reflected in his
personnel records.
In support of his requests, the applicant provides a copy of his
birth certificate.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
senior airman.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial. According to AFI 36-2608, Military
Personnel Records, table A7.6, Correction of Place of Birth, if a
member is an officer or airman on extended active duty, the
Military Personnel Section (MPS) Customer Service, reviews and
verifies appropriate documents and updates the Military Personnel
Data System (MilPDS) which generates an Air Force Form 281,
Notification of Change in Service Members Official Record, which
AFPC files in the members master personnel record.
In addition, table A7.4, Evidence Required to Correct Date and
Place of Birth, if the request is to correct date and or place of
birth for United States (U.S.) citizen born in the U.S. or one of
its possessions, then the member must furnish the MPS Customer
Service, the original or certified copy of the birth certificate
on file with the office of vital statistics of the state or U.S.
possession in which the member was born.
The applicant needs to follow the proper administrative process
and take the appropriate documentation as required in AFI 36-2608
to the servicing MPS for proper processing of his request.
The complete DPSIRP evaluation 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 Mar 14, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).
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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. In this respect, we
note the Board is the highest administrative level of appeal
within the Air Force. As such, an applicant must first exhaust
all available avenues of administrative relief provided by
existing law or regulations prior to seeking relief before this
Board, as required by the governing Air Force Instruction. The
Air Force office of primary responsibility has reviewed this
application and indicated there is an available avenue of
administrative relief the applicant has not first pursued. In
view of this, we find this application is not ripe for
adjudication at this level, as there exists a subordinate level of
appeal that has not first been depleted. Therefore, in view of
the above, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that he has not exhausted all available
avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting his
application to the BCMR; and the application will only be
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of
administrative relief.
