RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03095
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect he was awarded a 5-skill level in
the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2A551, Aerospace Maintenance
Journeyman.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In October 2011, he completed his Career Development Course and
earned a passing end-of-course test score to be awarded his
5-skill level in the 2A551 AFSC. However, his AFSC was
restructured [due to multiple airframes being removed from AFSC
2A5X1] to 2A534. He believes this error is preventing him from
earning certificates from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 2 Mar 10.
On 18 Oct 11, the applicant earned his 5-skill level in the AFSC
2A551, Aerospace Maintenance Journeyman, as his primary AFSC.
On 29 Sep 12, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge,
and was credited with 2 years, 6 months, and 28 days of active
service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIC recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an
error or an injustice. Instructions for documenting the primary
specialty section of the DD Form 214 include the number, title
and years and months in specialty and additional specialty numbers
and titles involving periods of one or more years. Although the
applicant's AF Form 2096, Classification/On-the-job Training,
documents his primary AFSC as 2A551, effective 18 Oct 11, there is
no evidence he performed duty in that AFSC for a period of one
year or more, as required to be documented in block 11 of his
DD Form 214. Therefore, the applicants primary specialty
2A534B, Refuel and Bomber Aircraft Maintenance Apprentice, KC-10,
2 Years and 4 Months, is correct.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIC evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluations was forwarded to the applicant
on 27 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 applicants 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. With
regards to the applicants contention the lack of a 5-Skill level
on his DD Form 214 is preventing him from earning civilian
certifications, we recommend the applicant retain the
AF Form 2096, Classification/On-the-job Training, and provide it
to future employers as evidence he has indeed earned his 5-skill
level in Aerospace Maintenance. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the requested relief.
4. The applicants 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.
