MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPC/DPPPwB 

550 C Street West, Ste 09 
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 1 1 

SUBJECT:  Application for Correction of Military Records 

Requested Action.  The applicant is requesting the AF Form 964 (PCS, TDY, or Training 

Declination Statement) be removed from his Personnel Record, promotion to SSgt effective 1 

g into the Accounting and Finance career field with assignment to 
We will address the issue concerning promotion to SSgt. 

Reason for Request.  The applicant states personnel at the Military Personnel Flight 
erroneously completed an AF Form 964 and updated this data 

(MPF) at 
which indichted he refbsed to get retainability for a PCS to the CONUS.  This action rendered the 
applicant ineligible for both promotion and reenlistment. 

Facts. A career airman who declines to extend or reenlist to obtain service retainability 

for a controlled duty assignment, PCS, TDY, or retraining, is automatically ineligible for 
promotion in accordance with AFI 36-2502, Table 1.1 , Rule F (copy attached).  An AF Form 964 
was accomplished on the applicant on 10 Jun 97 which identified him as ineligible for promotion 
consideration to SSgt.  AFPC/DPAPPl Memorandum, 15 Jun 98, states AF Form 964 was 
erroneous and should not have been completed.  On 13 Aug 97, the applicant’s servicing MPF at 
requested the Enlisted Promotion and Military Testing Branch at AFPC consider 
promotion to SSgt as the ineligible for promotion condition, as a result of the AF 

Form 964, was erroneous. His promotion record was again activated as a result of this request 
and he was selected for SSgt supplementally on 5 Sep 97 with Promotion Sequence Number 
(PSN) 00588.9 which was effective 1 Sep 97.  The applicant was honorably discharged on 23 
Oct 97 upon completion of required active service. 

Discussion.  There appears to be much confusion and miscommunication concerning the 

applicant’s grade.  Again, he was selected for promotion to SSgt supplementally on 5 Sep 97 
based on a request from his servicing MPF.  He received a Promotion Sequence Number (PSN) 
that was effective 1 Sep 97.  His losing MP

he was selected for promotion to SSgt.  Further, he states that he visited the Air Force Personnel 
Center (AFPC) on 12 Sep 97 where he was “promoted” to SSgt in an impromptu ceremony.  We 
are unaware of any such ceremony.  The applicant’s separation order reflects his grade as SrA

orders were published prior to his separation and to clarify what information was given to 
member regarding his promotion and “mandatory” separation.  There is no record of a promotion 
order being published nor anyone who was familiar with the situation at the time.  We have 
verified his promotion selectee data from h s  Unit Personnel Record Group (UPRG) and see no 
reason why he would not have been recommended for promotion. 

Recommendation.  Recommend the applicant’s record be corrected to reflect that he was 

promoted to staff sergeant effective and with DOR of 1 Sep 97.

Reauested Action.  The applicant is requesting the AF Form 964 (Declination Statement) be 
removed from his record, be promoted to grade of SSgt and allowed to return to active duty. 

Recommendation.  Approval.  The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for the AF Form 
964 has determined that the AF Form 964 was completed in error, we therefore, recommend 
AFBCMR direct that applicant’s records be corrected to indicated that he was not released from 
active duty and discharged on 23 Oct 97.  Applicant has submitted a timely request.
