RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01255
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate of Release 
or Discharge from Active Duty, Block 4, Mailing Address, be 
corrected to reflect “OH” vice “OK.”


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

There is a typographical error in the mailing address.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 11 Aug 81, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force and 
retired 1 Feb 02. 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  The need for correction of the DD 
Form 215 is without merit as the address has already served its 
purpose, is no longer used and could impede future veteran 
services.

The address listed in block 4 of the DD Form 215 is for the 
purpose of mailing the document to the individual.  With the 
member already in possession of the document, the need for an 
address (or correction) is void as the address has already served 
its purpose.  Although administratively incorrect, the error does 
not impact or change the DD Form 214.  Only those shaded items 
(blocks 1, 3, 5, 6, or 8) on the DD Form 215 warrant corrections.  
Unless other corrections are warranted/directed, the requested 
correction would not be accomplished as the address is no longer 
used and does not provide entitlements or benefits.  In contrast, 
to correct the document has greater negative impact to the 
individual as it would generate the mailing of documents 
referencing the old address to several supporting veteran service 
agencies who must manually marry changes to existing DD Forms 214.


The complete DPSOR 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 9 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  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 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.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, 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 the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.


The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-01255 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 21 Mar 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSOR, dated 5 Jun 14.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 4 Aug 14.
