                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01852
            INDEX NUMBER:  112.00

      XXXXXXXXXXXXXX   COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His date of rank (DOR) be changed to make  him  eligible  to  test  for
promotion to technical sergeant (TSgt) (E-6) in 2002 vice 2003.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Delays at the recruiter and Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS)
prevented him from enlisting as early as he had intended and caused him
to receive a DOR as a staff sergeant (E-5) that makes him ineligible to
test for promotion to TSgt in 2002.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was a member of  the  Massachusetts  Air  National  Guard
(ANG) and served an active duty tour from 25 Dec  97  to    4  Sep  00,
completing his tour in the grade  of  TSgt.   Based  on  a  conditional
release from the ANG, the applicant initiated documentation on 5 Jul 00
to enlist in the Regular Air Force (RegAF).  He was  medically  cleared
on 7 Aug 00 and enlisted in the RegAF on 5 Sep 00 in the grade of  SSgt
(E-5) with a DOR of 5 Sep 00.

_______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Enlisted Accessions and Enlistment  Bonuses  evaluated  this
application in regards to the applicant’s DOR and recommends denial  of
his request to change it to make him eligible to test for promotion  in
2002.

The applicant’s enlistment was processed in a timely manner and his DOR
correctly established to equal his 5 Sep 00  enlistment  date.   For  a
prior service applicant to begin enlistment processing on 5 Jul 00  and
enter active duty by 1 Aug 00 is considered unrealistic.  The applicant
has failed to adequately document  enlistment  processing  delays  that
would warrant a     1 Aug 00 DOR.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

The Chief,  Inquiries/AFBCMR  Section  evaluated  this  application  in
regards to the applicant’s request to test for  promotion  to  TSgt  in
2002 and also  recommends  denial  of  the  applicant’s  request.   The
applicant would require a DOR of 1 Aug 00 or earlier to be eligible  to
test in 2002.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the evaluations were forwarded to the  applicant  for  review
and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response has not been received.

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by  existing  law
or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice.  We took  notice  of  the
applicant's complete submission in judging  the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinions  and  recommendations  of  the  Air
Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt  their  rationale  as
the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim
of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the  relief
sought in this application.

_______________________________________________________________

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.

    The applicant’s request under AFI 36-2401 to have the contested EPR removed from his records was denied by the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board (ERAB). The AFPC/DPPPWB evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPPEP recommends the application be denied. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the contested report is an inaccurate assessment of his performance during the contested rating period.
