 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her rank to staff sergeant (SSgt) (E-5) be restored. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She never altered or produced fraudulent orders. 

 

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of orders 
and an electronic communication. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s records are unavailable for review. Therefore, 
the only information available is that which is provided by the 
applicant and that which is contained in the evaluation by the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denial. A1K states the applicant has not 
provided any evidence to support her allegation that she was 
demoted to the grade of senior airman (SrA) (E-4) on the basis of 
her presenting and or executing fraudulent orders. However, her 
record does support that she changed grades from SSgt to SrA. 
Nevertheless, she provides no documented derogatory or a specific 
reason for her change in grade. As such, the command’s position 
is that the basis for the applicant’s change in grade should have 
been a legally sufficient action initiated by and completed by 
her commander. 

 

The complete A1K evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 29 July 2011, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
C). As of this date, this office has received no response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an 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 or injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

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 issue(s) 
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
