His Promotion Enhancement Program (PEP) promotion to senior master sergeant
(SMSgt) be reinstated.

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust and
the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the
appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Acting Chief, Military Personnel Division, directorate of Personnel,
AFRC/DPM reviewed this application and states that the AFRC/CV policy
guidance included in the applicant’s application does not apply in this
case, the member’s position was eliminated prior to the effective date of
this policy. Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant’s request.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and provided a response,
which is attached at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 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 was promoted to the
Reserve grade of senior master sergeant (SMSgt) under the Performance
Enhancement Program (PEP). However, since his position was eliminated,
applicant was forced into being reduced to the grade of master sergeant in
order to continue his career in the Air Force Reserve. It is important to
note that a change in policy was made shortly after he was reduced in grade
that would have allowed him to keep his promotion to SMSgt. In view of the
period of time that applicant served in the grade of SMSgt, the
circumstances surrounding his reduction in grade and his record of superior
performance for over 24 years, we believe that justice dictates approval of
the requested relief. Therefore, we recommend the applicant's 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 he was promoted to the Reserve
grade of Senior Master Sergeant with a date of rank 1 October 1996 and with
an effective date of 1 January 1998.
