IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03443 
COUNSEL: NONE 
HEARING DESIRED: NO 

_____________________________________________________________ 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
His date of rank (DOR) for the grade of technical sergeant (E-6)

be changed from 1 June 12 to 7 April 12. 

_____________________________________________________________ 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
He was not promoted on time due to an error annotated on his AF

form 2096, Classification/On-The-Job Training Action. His DOR 

should coincide with the effective date of his 7 skill level. 
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is atExhibit A. 

_____________________________________________________________ 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
The applicant currently serves in the Air National Guard (ANG)

in the grade of technical sergeant (E-6). 

On 7 April 2012, the applicant was awarded the 1W071 (Weather
Journeyman) Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC). 
On 31 May 2012, the applicant was promoted to the grade of


technical sergeant (E-6), effective and with a DOR of 1 June


2012. 
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR) which is attached at Exhibit C. 


_____________________________________________________________ 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
NGB/A1PP recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of

an error or injustice. The applicant contends that the AF IMT2096, contained errors that affected his promotion; however, hehas not substantiated that the contested AF IMT 2096 was not 


prepared accurately. Based on the documentation on file, and inaccordance with ANGI 36-2502, Promotion of Airmen, the 
applicant’s upgrade to 1W071 was only a part of the eligibilitycriteria required for promotion and did not guarantee his 
promotion to E-6. Meeting the minimum eligibility criteria onlyindicates that a member can be considered eligible for 
promotion; however, the immediate commander must recommend theairman for promotion. 

A complete copy of the NGB/A1PP 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 December 2012 for review and comment within 30days. As of this date, no response has been received by thisoffice (Exhibit D).

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided byexisting 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 themerits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion andrecommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibilityand adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion theapplicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we findno basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application.

demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; theapplication was denied without a personal appearance; and theapplication will only be reconsidered upon the submission ofnewly discovered relevant evidence not considered with thisapplication.
