RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00629
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His military personnel records be changed to reflect his social 
security number (SSN) as XXX-XX-XXXX instead of XXX-XX-XXXX.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His SSN is incorrect in his military personnel records.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 14 Oct 82, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force 
and on 29 Sep 86, he was honorably discharged.  He was credited 
with 3 years, 11 months, and 16 days of total active service.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial, indicating that AFI 36-3608, 
Military Personnel Records System, Table A7.1, Note 1 states “Do 
not correct records of former members unless evidence proves the 
SSN used while serving with the Air Force was erroneously 
recorded.”  A review of the applicant’s records revealed all 
documents containing his SSN have it documented as “XXX-XX-
5796,” the SSN he presented for enlistment and there was no 
change to his SSN during his enlistment.  Additionally, it does 
not appear to have been erroneously recorded.  Because the 
applicant has no continuing affiliation with the Air Force as a 
Reserve member or retiree, there is no basis to amend his record 
after the fact.

The complete DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant asserts that at the time of his enlistment, he was 
a senior in high school and had only worked with his father.  At 
his recruiter’s request for a SSN, he called his mother to 
obtain it and his mother gave him the SSN that was recorded in 
his military records.  His recruiter told him that he had a 
friend at the Social Security office and the recruiter’s friend 
made him a card.  He did not know that the number his mother 
gave him was in fact his mother’s SSN.  The error was discovered 
when his mother applied for social security and her records 
indicated she had been in the Air Force and working for moving 
companies.  His employment records have since been corrected; 
however, he did not feel the need to correct his service records 
until now.  He may need to use his veteran health benefits but 
cannot due to this error.  He provides a copy of his correct 
social security card.

The applicant’s response, with attachment, is at Exhibit E.

________________________________________________________________

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 or injustice.  The 
applicant contends the SSN reflected in his military personnel 
records is erroneous and belongs to his mother; however, we are 
not convinced that corrective action is warranted at this time.  
While the applicant has provided a copy of a social security 
card that reflects his name and a different SSN than that 
reflected in his military records, the documentation provided is 
not sufficient for us to verify with certainty that the SSN he 
produced is indeed that of the applicant.  Should the applicant 
provide verification from the Social Security Administration 
(SSA) that substantiates that the SSN reflected in the records 
is not his but his mother’s, we would be willing to reconsider 
his request.  In view of the above, we find no basis to disturb 
the existing record.

________________________________________________________________

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.
