Records (DD Form 149) 

s requesting a correction of his records to receive one additional year 
of service credit.  This year of credit would have allowed him to enter active duty in April 1998 
as a captain, rather than a first lieutenant, 

This requat is based on the fact tha 

as given incorrect advice by 

chaplain recruitment and appointment personnel, and commissioned 4 months prior to 
completing the 7 yean ministry expeiience needed to receive the one year of service credit.  He 
was then brought on active duty as a captain, but later told that due to the miscdcuIation he 
would have to revert to first lieutenant. 

Chaplains receive 3 years of service credit for their graduate education (AFI 36-2005), 
ished his education in November 1990, and should 
til he had completed 7 years ofexpaience in 

and with one additional year of service credit are eligible to enter active duty in the grade of 
wptain (AFI 36-2008). 
have been advised to w 
November 1997.  Instead he was commissioned in July of 1997, four months short of completing 
He did not enter active duty uti1 April 1998.  To complicate the earlier 
was erroneously g a t e d  the extra year of service credit, and ordered to 
of captain. An audit of his record caught this error after he had been on 
active duty, serving and being paid as a captain for 3 months. To require Chaplain Lockett to 
revert to the rank of first lieutenant would cause personal and financial hudslup to the member, 
based on mistakes made by the Air Force. 

incorrectly assumes in his request package that he would have been 
comssioned as a captain in Jury 1997, if he had completed 7 years experience at that time. 
Since the requirements for appointment grade and active duty grade are different, with 7 years 
experience he still would have been appointed as a first lieutenant kt the Reserves, but would 
have been promoted to captain on his first day of active duty.  The member should not be caused 
hardship by mistakes made by the Air Force in his recruitment and appointment process.

The best remedy is to grant a 4-month waiver of the 7 years experience needed to e m  one year 
would enter active duty as a captain, with 
of SeTvice credit.  With this waiv 
date of rank being his first day of active duty. 

Recommendation:  Based on hardship caused the member, and on extensive experience 
prior to and during seminary, grant &month waiver of the 7 years experience required for one 
year of service credit.  Award one year of service credit for ministry experience prior to 
commissioning date, 23 July 1997.  Member’s record should reflect commissioning as chaplain, 
f i t  lieutenant, in the Air Force Reserve, 23 July 1997, and entry to adive duty in the grade of 
captain t 5  April  1998
