AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-01861
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Applicant is the widow of a former service member who requests
posthumous promotion of her late husband to the grade of major.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
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 recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Acting Chief, Officer Promotion Branch, AFPC/DPPPO, reviewed the
application and recommended denial. A complete copy of the evaluation
is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 8 September 2000, for review and response. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. The applicant, the
widow of a former service member, is requesting that her husband’s
records be corrected to reflect that he was honorably discharged in
the grade of major rather than captain. It appears that the basis for
the applicant’s request is to have the rank of major entered on her
late husband’s tombstone. The evidence of record indicates that the
former service member was killed in a military aircraft accident on 21
June 1954. Notwithstanding this, in recognition of the applicant’s
dedicated and honorably service to his country, and in the interest of
justice, we are inclined to grant the applicant’s request.
Accordingly, we recommend that the former service member’s records be
corrected as 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 posthumous
promoted to the grade of major.
