RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04166 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. Her Verification of Military Experience and Training (VMET) 
be corrected. 

 

2. She be reconsidered for promotion to the rank of master 
sergeant (MSgt, E-7) based on merit and sustained superior 
performance. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Her VMET contains erroneous information and should be corrected. 

 

Between 2008 through 2010, she requested numerous times to 
demonstrate her supervisory skills. However, she was not given 
this opportunity to succeed or fail as a leader because she was 
indispensable in her assigned duty. Nevertheless, she is 
qualified based upon her record of performance. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force at Exhibits B and C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1PP recommends denial of the applicant’s request to be 
reconsidered for promotion to the rank of MSgt. A1PP states 
that after reviewing the documentation submitted by the 
applicant and the attached Congressional response from the Texas 
Joint Force Headquarters, dated 4 Nov 2010, they were not able 
to substantiate that an error or injustice occurred in this 
case. Her chain of command determined that she had not 
performed up to the level for promotion to the rank of MSgt. 
Moreover, in accordance with ANGI 36-2502, Promotion of Airmen, 


Table 2.1, rule 6, she did not have the requisite retainability 
(12 months) for promotion to the rank of MSgt. 

 

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

AFPC/DPFFF recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
correct her VMET. DPFFF states that the VMET is not a source 
document to be used for promotions, awards, or formal 
documentation. It is an extract from the Personnel Data System 
provided by the Air Force Personnel Center and other Services to 
assist transitioning personnel with resumes and employment 
preparation. If the applicant feels the information is 
incorrect, her records should be disputed, not the VMET. 

 

The complete DPFFF evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 21 Jan 2013, copies of the Air Force evaluations were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 error or injustice. We took notice 
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility and adopt their 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.
