                   RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01064

	 				COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His social security number (SSN) on his DD Form 214, Report of 
Separation from Active Duty, be corrected.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His social security number is incorrect on his DD Form 214.  He 
did not have his social security card when he enlisted but the 
recruiter had to make his quota.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who served 
from 2 November 1970 through 28 June 1974.  The first three 
numbers of his SSN listed on his DD Form 214 are 322.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial.  Air Force Instruction 36-2608, 
Military Personnel Records System, table A7.1, note 1 states “do 
not correct records of former members unless the evidence proves 
the social security number used while serving with the Air Force 
was erroneously recorded.”

A review of the applicant’s record revealed all documents 
containing the SSN beginning with 322 as that was the SSN 
presented for enlistment and there was no change in the SSN 
during his enlistment.  It does not appear to have been 
erroneously recorded.  Since the applicant has no continuing 
affiliation with the Air Force as a Reserve member or retiree, 
his record is unable to be amended after the fact.  

The complete 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 29 September 2014, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received 
no response.

________________________________________________________________

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 injustice.  After a thorough 
review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete 
submission, we are not persuaded that a change in the record is 
warranted.  We took notice of the applicant’s complete 
submission in judging the merits of the case and find no 
evidence the applicant served under the submitted social 
security number.  Therefore, 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 that the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  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.
