RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01588
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The mailing address on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, be changed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The mailing address on the DD Form 214 is incorrect and she fears 
if any documents are sent to the address listed, her identity may 
be stolen.  The Board should find it in the interest of justice to 
consider her untimely application to prevent her identity from 
being stolen.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 24 Feb 04, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.

On 23 Jul 09, the applicant received an honorable discharge.   She 
was credited with 5 years and 5 months of active service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  The need for a correction is 
without merit as the document was accurate at the time of 
publication and the address has already served its purpose and is 
no longer used.  

The sole purpose of the addresses in block 19 was for mailing the 
DD Form 214.  With the applicant already in possession of a DD 
Form 214, the need for an address (or correction) is void as the 
address has already served its purpose.  Per governing directives, 
DD Form 214 corrections are limited to two legitimized errors 
before a new DD Form 214 is required.  Unless other corrections 
are warranted/directed, the requested correction to block 19 would 
not be accomplished as it was correct at the time of publication, 
that the address is no longer used and that the address does not 
provide entitlements or benefits.  In contrast, to correct the 
document has greater impact to the individual and the protection 
of DD Form 214 information; a correction would require 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 30 May 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 AFBCMR Docket Number 
BC-2014-01588 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 7 Apr 14, w/atchs.
