             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01449
            INDEX CODE:  108.09

      APPLICANT  COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In  the  applicant's  request  for  reconsideration,  he  requests  he   be
reinstated to the grade of technical sergeant (E-6).

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant reenlisted into the Regular Air Force  for  a  period  of  six
years on 19 February  2000.   He  is  currently  serving  in  the  grade  of
technical sergeant with a date of rank of 1 January 2002.

On 24 October 2001, the applicant's request to reinstate him to the rank  of
technical sergeant at the time he reenlisted into the Regular Air Force  was
considered and denied by the Board. For  an  accounting  of  the  facts  and
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request,  and,  the  rationale  of
the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at  Exhibit
F.

On 26 April 2002, the applicant submitted  a  request  for  reconsideration.
To support his request, he provided a personal statement and a  letter  from
the recruiter who enlisted him into the Regular Air Force.  The  applicant's
complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  After again reviewing this application  and  the  evidence  provided  in
support of his appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the applicant’s should  be
reinstated to the rank of technical sergeant at the time of  his  enlistment
into  the  Regular  Air  Force.   We  carefully  considered  the  statements
provided by the applicant and his recruiter.   While  the  letter  from  the
recruiter  indicates  there  may  have  been  some  confusion   during   the
applicant's processing for enlistment into the Regular  Air  Force  under  a
new program, we do not find that it  outweighs  the  governing  regulations.
As previously noted, his options were clearly laid out for him prior to  his
initialing  and  signing  the  AF  Form  3006,  Enlistment   Agreement-Prior
Service, stating “I am enlisting into the pay grade E-5.  I  have  no  claim
to a higher grade.  I understand my entitlement to further  promotions  will
be in accordance with regulations in effect at the time  of  my  eligibility
for promotion and provisions do not exist to  accelerate  promotion  due  to
prior service or number of years I  am  enlisting  for.”   Accordingly,  the
applicant’s request is not favorably considered.

2.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been  shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will  materially  add  to
our understanding of the issue(s) involved.  Therefore, the  request  for  a
hearing is not favorably considered

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the  application
was denied without a personal appearance;  and  that  the  application  will
only be reconsidered  upon  the  submission  of  newly  discovered  relevant
evidence not considered with this application.

_________________________________________________________________

Session on 15 May 2002, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

    According to a letter provided by the applicant, the WAPS Testing Control Officer believed the applicant would test for promotion to the grade of TSgt in his old AFSC of 2A651B due to the system showing a date initially entered retraining (DIERT) of 9 Jan 04, which was after the promotion eligibility cutoff date (PECD) of 31 Dec 03. We further note that the Air Force’s scoring his test against the wrong shred of the correct AFSC and erroneously notifying him that he had been selected for...
