AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

DOCKET NO: 98-01660 FEB 1 9  1999 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant requests that his enlistment grade be adjusted and his 
dates  of  rank  throughout  his  career  be  adjusted  accordingly. 
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). 
The applicant's  response is attached at Exhibit E. 
The  application  was  not  timely  filed;  however,  it  is  in  the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 
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.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  adequately  rebutted  by 
Absent  persuasive  evidence  applicant  was  denied 
applicant. 
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  Mr.  Vaughn  E.  Schlunz,  Mr.  Richard  A. 
Peterson,  and  Mr.  Frederick  R.  Beaman,  111,  considered  this 
application on 12 January 1999, in accordance with the provisions 
of Air Force Instruction 3 6 - 2 6 0 3 ,   and the governing statute, 10, 
U . S . C .   1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR  AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPAE 

550 C Street West, Ste 10 
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 12 

The applicant requests correction of his enlistment grade under the “Stripes for Education 
and Training” program.  Member previously submitted a request for administrative correction, 
but we disapproved request because he is ineligible for enlistment grade credit.  He has not filed 
a timely request. 

The “Stripes for Education and Training’’ program was established in 1980, per IMC 80-1 
(26 Feb 80) to AFR 33-3, Enlistment in the Unitedstates Air Force.  This program was effective 
with enlistments on or after 14 Jan 80 and is not retroactive.  Applicant states that his recruiter 
asked him to obtain transcripts for advanced enlistment grade consideration, and contends that a 
program must have existed at the time of his enlistment.  However, he does not provide 
documentation to support this belief. 

Considering the above, we recommend denial of applicant’s request.  His enlistment pay 
grade E-1, effective and with DOR 29 Jan 76, is correct and in compliance with policy.  POC is 
MSgt Lopez, DSN 487-2068.
