RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00013
INDEX CODE: 102.07
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Date of Rank (DOR) be changed to reflect 8 months constructive service
credit.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her work experience was not included in her record for constructive service
credit.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provided a letter from the Houston
Medical Center, dated 19 October 1998, and an Employee Payroll History from
1 August 1997 through 31 December 1998.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of
first lieutenant.
The applicant’s date of rank (DOR) is 1 January 2001.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPMAF2 recommended denial. They indicate that the applicant only
had a total of 12 weeks where she worked 40 hours or more but was never
considered full time. Per AFI 36-2005, Table 2.5, Rule 41, note 14 states
an individual receives full time professional experience by being employed
40 hours per week in one or more places of employment with exception
granted for individuals employed 32-39 hours per week and considered full
time employees must submit a letter from their employer verifying they are
full time employees. The applicant was never considered a full-time
employee at the Houston Medical Center as verified with the Nurse Manager
at the Houston Medical Center on 17 December 1998 by HQ AFPC/DPAMF.
The Air Force evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 25 January 2002, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and response within thirty (30) days. 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice warranting a change in the
applicant’s date of rank to reflect eight months constructive service
credit. The applicant contends that her work experience was not included
in her record for constructive service credit. The Board notes that AFI 36-
2005 indicates that an individual receives full time professional
experience by being employed 40 hours per week in one or more places of
employment, and exceptions are granted for individuals employed 32-39 hours
per week and considered full time employees but they must submit a letter
from their employer verifying they are full time employees. The letter
from the nurse manager at the Houston Medical Center is duly noted;
however, the nurse manager does not indicate that the applicant was
considered a full time employee. Additionally, it appears the same
individual confirmed to Air Force officials that the applicant was never
considered a full time employee. In view of the foregoing and 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.

In accordance with (IAW) Army Regulation 135-101 (Appointment of Reserve Commissioned Officers for Assignment to Army Medical Department Branches), the 2 years of professional experience would equal 1 year of time in grade or DOR constructive credit.

The applicant states, and we believe, that he based his decision to be commissioned prior to the completion of his master’s degree so he could attain more time in grade. Therefore, the applicant’s records should be corrected to show he was appointed an Air Force officer after he completed his degree requirements and that he should receive the proper service credit based on that change.

The applicant states that she was granted 7 months and 9 days of constructive service credit, but that does not reflect her total time as a registered nurse. DODI 6000.13, paragraph 6.1.2.2.1. states four years of constructive service credit shall be granted for completion of first professional degrees that include medical (M.D. or D.P., D.V.M., and Ph.D. (for pharmacy), constructive service credit is not awarded merely for being licensed to practice.

The applicant was also ineligible for experience credit from 1 Aug 99 to 14 Mar 00 due to receiving a graduate nurse license on 9 Aug 99 from the state of Delaware and then not passing their board until 15 Mar 00. Applicant discusses why the date of 30 Jan 98 indicated on his AF Form 24 as the date of his permanent license is incorrect. However, they state the applicant should not receive the total amount of constructive service credit he is seeking because the time prior to receiving...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090016390
The applicant requests that he be awarded constructive credit for his master's degree and civilian nursing experience. His records show a date of rank of 5 January 2009 with no evidence that he was awarded any constructive credit for either civilian education or licensed nurses work experience. Therefore, evidence indicates he was correctly appointed in the grade of second lieutenant.

A Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) convened on 7 December 2000, and recommended the applicant be referred to an Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) based on the diagnosis of dysthymic disorder and borderline personality disorder. The BCMR Medical Consultant states, in part, that the applicant’s concern that a possible personality disorder diagnosis was instrumental in the final determination of her impairment is not borne out by the evidence of record.
