RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02666

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His date of birth on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, be changed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He noticed the incorrect date 25 Jun 14.  He provides a copy of 
his birth registration card showing his birthdate as 11 Aug 48 
in support of his application.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 4 Dec 68, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.

According to DD Form 4, Enlistment Contract – Armed Forces of 
the United States, signed by the applicant on 4 Dec 68, his 
birthdate was recorded as 12 Aug 48.

According to AF Form 279, Application for Identification Card, 
dated 20 Oct 70, his birthdate was recorded as 12 Aug 48.

According to AF Form 1712, Uniform Military Personnel Record, 
dated 2 May 72, his birthdate was recorded as 12 Aug 48.

According to DD Form 398, Statement of Personal History, his 
birthdate was recorded as 12 Aug 48.  

According to his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, his birthdate is recorded as 12 Aug 
48.

On 1 Dec 72, the applicant received an honorable discharge.  He 
was credited with 3 years, 11 months and 28 days of active 
service.   


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIR recommends deny.  Air Force Instruction 36-2608, 
Military Personnel Records System, Table A7.5, Correction of 
Date of Birth, Note 3 states “Do not correct records of former 
members unless evidence proves the date of birth used while 
serving with the Air Force was erroneously recorded.”  A review 
of the applicant’s records revealed he enlisted, served and was 
discharged under the Date of Birth (DOB) “12 Aug 1948.”  As “12 
Aug 1948” was the DOB the applicant presented for enlistment and 
there was no change to his DOB during his enlistment, it does 
not appear to have been erroneously recorded.  Accordingly, as 
the applicant has no continuing affiliation with the Air Force 
as a Reserve member or retiree, DPSIR is unable to amend his 
military record after the fact.   

The complete DPSIR 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 10 Oct 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 
(OPR) 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-2014-02666 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 26 Jun 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIR, dated 5 Aug 14.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 10 Oct 14.
