RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98- 00468 
COUNSEL :  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

Her grade at the time she enlisted in the Air National Guard be 
changed to Airman. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
She enlisted into the Air National Guard on 11 December 1997,  in 
the  grade  of  airman  basic  and  should  have  been  enlisted  as  an 
airman.  She has-at least 2 0   but  less than 45  semester hours of 
accredited colleg'e credits. 

In  support  of  her  appeal,  the  applicant  provided  a  college 
transcript. 

Applicant's  complete submission is attached at Exhibit A. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

On 11 December 1997,  applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard 
for a period of six  (6) years in the grade of Airman Basic  (E-1). 
In February  1998,  applicant requested that her  enlistment grade 
be changed based on her college credits.  Her request was denied 
because  the  college  transcript  from  the  college  was  dated 
20 January 1998,  which is after her date of enlistment. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
The Chief, Special Actions &  Personal Affairs, ANG/DPPU, reviewed 
this  application  and  states  that  according  to  ANGI  36- 2002 
(Enlistment and Reenlistment in the Air  National Guard and as a 
Reserve  of  the  Air  Force),  Chapter  1,  paragraph  1.7,  note  1 
states  that  documents  presented  after  enlistment  processing  is 

98- 00468 

completed may not be used as a basis for changing the enlistment 
grade. 
The  transcript  from  the  college  is  date/time  stamped 
This  is  well  past  the  date  of  enlistment. 
20 January  1 9 9 8 .  
Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant's  request. 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 7  September 1998,  for review and response within 30 days.  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 

1. 
law or regulations. 
2.  The application was timely filed. 
3 .   Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  probable  error  or  injustice. 
Applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard on 11 December 1997, 
in the grade of airman basic.  At  the time of her enlistment she 
did  not  have  her  college  transcript  present  to  verify  semester 
hours  of  accredited college credits.  She  received her  college 
transcript  dated  20  January  1998,  which  is  after  her  date  of 
enlistment.  However,  she  has  provided  a  copy  of  her  college 
transcript and at the time of her enlistment she had 25 semester 
hours of accredited college credits which would have allowed her 
to  enlist  in  the  grade  of  Airman. 
In  view  of  this  and  in 
recognition of her accomplishment, we believe applicant's  request 
should  be  resolved  in  her  favor.  Therefore, we  recommend  her 
records be corrected to the extent indicated below. 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be  corrected to show that  on  11 December 
1997,  she enlisted in the Air National Guard for a period of six 
years in the grade of Airman  ( E - 2 ) .
