RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01528
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her late husband’s rank be corrected to reflect Lieutenant Colonel 
(Lt Col) versus Staff Sergeant (SSgt).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her husband was honorably discharged as a Lt Col, not SSgt.  The 
records at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) are 
incomplete.  

The Board should find it in the interest of justice to consider 
her untimely application because she just discovered it when his 
headstone arrived.  

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
death certificate and various other documents associated with her 
request.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 19 May 52, the applicant enlisted on active duty as an Airman 
Basic (AB).

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, issued in conjunction 
with his 1 Sep 65 discharge, the applicant was honorably 
discharged in the grade of SSgt.  He was credited with 13 years, 3 
months and 13 days of active service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial.  After thoroughly reviewing the 
service member’s original military records, to include medical 
documents, they found no official documents to indicate that the 
applicant’s spouse was ever commissioned as an officer in the Air 
Force.  

The complete DPSOE 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 20 Jun 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 that there 
is no evidence 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-2014-01528 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 3 Apr 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSOE, dated 9 May 14.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 20 Jun 14.
