AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  97-03101 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED: 

Applicant requests that her records be corrected to show that she 
was appointed in the grade of captain.  Applicant's submission is 
at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion  to  the Board  recommending the 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant  for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence of  record, we  find  insufficient evidence of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  In regards to 
the applicant's  request, we note  that the experience accrued by 
the  applicant  from  1  November  1989  through  17  April  1991  was 
prior  to  her  being  licensed and  therefore,  is not  creditable. 
Also, the experience accrued by  the applicant from 1 March 1994 
through 15 January 1995 should be presented to HQ AFRC on AF Form 
24  for credit  approval.  The  facts and opinions stated in  the 
advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and 
have not been rebutted by applicant.  Absent persuasive evidence 
applicant  was  denied  rights  to  which  entitled,  appropriate 
regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not 
applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members of the Board Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Mr, Frederick R. 
Beaman 111, and Mr. Steven A. Shaw considered this application on 
7  July  1998,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force 
Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

FROM:  HQ ARPC/DA

SUBJECT : 

1. 
administratively at this level. 

The  requested  correction  cannot  be  accomplished 

The  applicant  requests  their  computation  for  grade 
2 .  
determination be reviewed suggesting that they should have 
been appointed a captain and not a first lieutenant. 

3 .   The following is an analysis of the case: 

a. 

The  applicant  was  appointed  in  the  Air  Force 
Reserve  Biomedical  Sciences Corps  on  18 March  1997. 
The 
appointment was as  a first lieutenant in accordance with AFI 
36- 2005,  Table 2 . 5 ,   page 21, Rule 40, Note 12. 

b.  Under the provisions of AFI  36- 2005,  the applicant 
given  the  maximum  allowable  credit  for  grade 
was 
computation.  Note 12 states that for those  individuals that 
license,  award  experience  credit  from  time  of 
require  a 
license.  Therefore; the experience accrued by the applicant 
from  1  November  1989  through  17  April  1 9 9 1   was  prior  t o  
licensure and is not creditable. 

c. 

Regarding  the  period  1  March  1994  through  15 
January 1995, this  time was  not  presented  to HQ AFRC  for 
credit approval on AF Form 24,  when the applicant submitted 
their original application for appointment in 1997. 

4.  Recommend denial of the applicant's  request.  We find no 
error  or  injustice  in  the  application  of  procedures  in 
effect at the time of the applicant's  direct appointment as 
a  commissioned officer in the Reserve of the Air  Force.  The 
applicant  was  given  the  maximum  allowable  credit  in 

accordance  with  AFI  36-2005,  based  on  the  documentation 
provided. 

5.  If the AFBCMR  disagrees with our recommendation. 

a.  Please advise the applicant to submit appropriate 
documents  to HQ AFRC/SGSE  for their review to determine if 
t h r o u g h   15  January  1995  is 
the  time  from  1  March  1994 
creditable. 

b.  If the time is found to be  creditable, direct the 
applicant's  military  record  be  corrected  to  reflect 
appointment  as  a  captain  to  include  adjustment  of  the 
service  dates  and  amendment  of  the  original  appointment 
order. 

C. 

Direct  removal  of  all  documentation  from  the 
applicant's  record t h a t   reflects  that  t h e y   were  originally 
appointed as  a first lieutenant.

    The board, however, did find that, on 28 February 1994, the applicant falsified an official document, the AF Form 24, that indicated she had graduated from the USC with a Chemical Engineering degree. On 25 April 1997, the Air Force Personnel Board (AFPB) reviewed the PODB’s decision and agreed that the applicant should not be retained in the Air Force. The records indicate her service was reviewed and appropriate action was taken.
