RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02958

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NOT INDICATED 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His birth date be changed from 22 Jul 50 to 23 Jul 50 on his DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His birthdate is incorrect due to recent corrections to his 
original birth certificate information.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 14 Aug 70, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.

According to DD Form 4, Application for Enlistment—Armed Forces 
of the United States, his birthdate is recorded as 22 Jul 50. 

According to DD Form 398, Statement of Personal History, his 
birthdate is recorded as 22 Jul 50.

On 9 Dec 74, his birthdate is recorded as 23 Jul 50 on his 
Standard Form 88, Report of Medical Examination.

On 22 Dec 74, the applicant received an honorable discharge.  He 
was credited with 4 years, 4 months and 9 days of active 
service.

According to his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, his birthdate is recorded as 22 Jul 
50.    


?
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIR recommends deny the applicant’s request to correct 
his birthdate.  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) “22 Jul 50.”  As “22 
Jul 50” 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 timely filed.

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.

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


?
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-2014-02958 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 3 Jul 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIR, dated 27 Aug 14.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 10 Oct 14.
