AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

JUL  2  1 I996 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-00302 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

He  be  retired  in  the  grade  of  senior  master  sergeant  (E-8), 
effective 2 August 1998, versus 2 August 2008. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

His  current  retirement  orders  state  E-7  retirement  pay,  then 
shift  to E-8  pay  after  10 years  as  provisioned  in AFI  36-3203 
7.4.1. 
Current  regulations  exist  for  those  individuals  who 
unwillingly have  lost  stripes due  to disciplinary actions.  He 
states that he does not fall under this category.  As a Navy E-8 
for  approximately two  years, he  crossed over  into  a  critically 
undermanned career field in Air Force Special Operations, and, in 
turn,  was  downgraded  to  E-7. 
Due  to  his  exceptional  service 
record  as  an  E-8  and  his  willingness  to  serve  his  country, he 
contests  Title  10  USC  8961  (b)  that  his  retirement  pay  be 
upgraded to his highest rank attained immediately. 

In  support  of  the  appeal,  applicant  submits  a  copy  of  his 
retirement  orders  and  DD  Form  214  from  the  Navy  for  E-8 
veri f ica t ion. 
In  addition,  he  submits  his  prior  enlisted 
performance reports as an E-8 substantiating that his service was 
satisfactory  in  that  grade  (provisioned  under  AFI  36-3203 
7.5.1.2). 

Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air  Force  in 
the grade of master sergeant. 
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air  Force on 11 September 
1995, in the grade of master  sergeant.  Prior to his enlistment 

98-00302 

in the Air  Force, he  completed a  total of  17 years, two months 
and 19 days of active Navy service. 

On  23  September  1997,  the  applicant  voluntarily  applied  for 
retirement  and  was  approved  for  retirement  to  be  effective 
1  August  1998.  His  retirement  order,  DAFSO  AC-000230,  dated 
8  October  1997,  reflects  that  he  will  be  relieved  from  active 
duty on 31 July 1998 and retired on 1 August  1998 with 20 years 
and 29 days active service, in the grade of master sergeant. 

EPR profile since 1996 reflects the following:

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The  Chief,  Skills Management  Branch,  AFPC/DPPAE,  reviewed  this 
application and states that in accordance with AETCI 36-2002, the 
highest  enlistment grade authorized  for prior  service personnel 
is technical sergeant (E-6).  Since the applicant did not provide 
copies  of  enlistment  processing  paperwork,  they  can  only 
speculate he was awarded pay grade E-7 as an exception to policy. 
They  state  that  the  applicant‘s  enlistment  in  the  Regular  Air 
Force  in  the  pay  grade  E-7,  effective  and  with  date  of  rank 
11  September  1995,  is  correct  and  in  compliance  with  policy. 
Therefore,  since  he  is  not  contesting  his  enlistment  grade  of 
master sergeant, they have no further comments on this case. 

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C. 

The Retirements Branch, AFPC/DPPRR, reviewed this application and 
states that the applicant will be advanced to the grade of senior 
master sergeant on 2 August 2008.  This ac&ion  is in accordance 
with  Section  8964,  Title  10,  USC  8964,  which  provides  for 
enlisted members  to be advanced  (when their active service plus 
service on the retired list totals 30 years) on the retired list 
to  the  highest  grade  in  which  they  served  on  active  duty 
satisfactorily as determined by  the Secretary of the Air  Force. 
They quote Title 10, USC 8961 as stating:  “Unless entitled to a 
higher retired grade under some other provision of law a regular 
or reserve of the Air  Force who retires other than for physical 
disability retires in the regular or reserve grade that he holds 
on  the date  of  his  retirement.”  In the  applicant‘s case,  the 
grade is master sergeant.  They further state that the applicant 
signed  an  Enlistment Agreement  (AF Form  3006)  on  11  September 
1995, which  clearly  stated,  “My  enlistment  in  the  Regular  Air 
Force is for four years of active duty.  I have been counseled on 
the six-year enlistment program and enlistment grade policy.  I 

2 

.

98- 00302 

am  enlisting  in pay  grade  E-7.  I  have  no  claim  to  a  hiqher 
grade.  I understand my entitlement to further promotions will be 
in  accordance  with  regulations  in  effect  at  the  time  of  my 
eligibility  for  promotion  and  provisions  do  not  exist  to 
accelerate  promotion  due  to my  prior  service  or  the  number  of 
years I am enlisting for."  The applicant is correctly projected 
to retire in the grade of master sergeant, which is the grade he 
will hold on the date of his retirement.  There are no provisions 
of law that would allow him to retire in a grade other than the 
grade  he  holds  on the  last day  of  active  duty.  Nevertheless, 
; there  is an advancement statement on the applicant's  retirement 
order which advances him to the highest grade satisfactorily held 
at  the  30-year  point. 
No  irregularities  or  injustices  were 
discovered  while  reviewing  the  applicant's  retirement  actions. 
Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant's  request. 
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D. 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluations and states that 
he is not requesting to be retired at the grade of senior master. 
He is requesting retired pay consistent with  highest grade held 
as  applies  to military  officers.  He  states  that  Title  10 USC 
8961 applies to enlisted members only.  Military officers receive 
retirement  pay  at  the  highest  grade  held  at  the  time  of 
retirement.  This inconsistency in treatment of officers versus 
enlisted in the United States Code is prejudice and inconsistent 
with the respectable history of the military and country he has 
served for over 20 years.  He recommends fair and equal treatment 
for officers and enlisted upon retirement from the United States 
military. 

Applicant's complete response is attached at Exhibit F. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

1.  The  applicant  has  exhausted  all  remedies  provided  by 
existing law or regulations. 

2. 

The application was timely filed. 

Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
3. 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  probable  error  or  injustice.  We 
took notice  of  the applicant's  complete  submission; however, we 
agree with  the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force and 
adopt  their  rationale  as  the basis  for  the  conclusion  that  the 
applicant  has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or  injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we  find no 

compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

98- 00302 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

The  applicant be  notified  that  the  evidence presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  probable  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. 

The following members of the Board considered this application in 
Executive  Session on  7 July  1998,  under  the  provisions of  AFI 
36-2603:

& I  MAR 1998 

The applicant requests his retirement grade changed to SMSgt (E-8) based on grade held 

upon discharge from the U.S. Navy.  This advisory will only comment on his enlistment grade. 

Applicant served a total of 17 years, two months, and 19 days of active Navy service. He 
enlisted in the USAF on 11 Sep 95 in the grade of MSgt.  In accordance with AETCI 36-2002, the 
highest enlistment grade authorized for Prior Service personnel is TSgt (E-6).  Since applicant did 
not provide copies of enlistment processing paperwork, we can only speculate he was awarded pay 
grade E-7 as an exception to policy.  The enlistment grade provision is included on the Enlistment 
Agreement., AF Form 3006, Section I, Item A, which applicant acknowledged on his date of 
enlistment. 

Applicant’s enlistment in the RegAF in pay grade E-7, effective and with DOR 11 Sep 95, 
is correct and in compliance with policy.  Since he is not contesting his enlistment grade of MSgt, 
we have no further comments on this case.
