RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03422
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Social Security Number (SSN) in his official military
records should be XXX-XX-5113, not XXX-XX-2510.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
There is a clerical error in his official military records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 27 Sep 63, the applicant entered the Air Force Reserve.
On 26 Mar 64, the applicant was released from AD after
completing training and received an honorable character of
service.
According to AF Form 7, Airman Military Record, dated 14 Mar 68,
his SSN is documented as XXX-XX-5113.
On 4 Oct 68, AF Form 1383, Annual Statement of Credits,
documents his SSN as XXX-XX-5113.
On 10 Aug 69, CAC Form 116, Request and Authorization for
Discharge and Enlistment/Reenlistment of Air Force Reserve
Airmen, documents his SSN as XXX-XX-2510.
On 19 Aug 69, a Certification document has the applicants SSN
as XXX-XX-2510; with pen and ink change of the last four digits
to 5113.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. Air Force Instruction 36-2608,
Military Personnel Records System, Table A7.1, Note 1 states Do
not correct records of former members unless evidence proves the
SSN used while serving with the Air Force was erroneously
recorded. A review of the applicants personnel records
revealed the majority of the documents containing the SSN have
it documented as XXX-XX-5113 including the applicants DD Form
214. There were two documents found during the review that had
XXX-XX-2510 listed as the SSN. Both of those forms, a
Certification statement referencing an AF Form 538 and a CAC
Form 116, had pen and ink changes made to them that corrected
the SSN to XXX-XX-5113. Neither of the documents with the SSN
corrections has any bearing on the applicants benefits or
entitlements. As the pen and ink changes occurred 45 years ago,
we can only presume this was authorized practice at that time.
The Certification statement also contains the applicants
Service number which is correct. Since all the documents in the
applicants record (including the DD Form 214) contain the
correct SSN or have been corrected to the correct SSN, there is
no need to correct the SSN.
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 17 Oct 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.
Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10,
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction
36-2603. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the
delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises
issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the
merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of
justice to excuse the applicants failure to file in a timely
manner.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as
untimely.

A review of documents contained in the applicant's military personnel records show his SSN appears as both "xxx-xx-xx5x" and "xxx-xx-xx2x" on several documents dated throughout his tenure of service. However, his DD Form 4, which was completed at the time of enlistment shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-xx2x." As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by deleting the SSN from item 3 of his DD Form 214 and adding the SSN as it...

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his social security number (SSN) as "XXX-XX-1547" instead of "XXX-XX-672."
