AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00206
INDEX CODE: 128.00
APPLICANT Counsel: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to change his pay grade from O-1 to O-1E and
to receive back pay as O-1E from 26 May 00.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He is eligible for the pay grade status of O-1E. It was his
understanding that in order to be eligible for O-1E pay, a service
member must be enlisted for four years. He served in the Army as
enlisted member for three years and served four years and eight months
in the Army Reserve. He was accepted in the Air Force (AF) Officer
Training School (OTS) where he attended for three months and was
commissioned. He was also included in the Early Entry Program for
five months before going to basic training. The AF recruiter informed
him that he would receive O-1E pay after he graduated from OTS. The
finance office contacted him at OTS and informed him that his O-1E pay
would start at his forwarding unit. He has not received pay as an O-
1E.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A review of the applicant's records indicates he has 3 years of active
service in the Regular Army and 3 months and 2 days of active service
in the Army Reserve; and 2 months and 27 days on active duty attending
OTS. He has a total of 3 years and 6 months of active duty enlisted
service. He is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
second lieutenant.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAOR states in accordance with the DOD Financial Management
Regulation, Volume 7A, paragraph 010301, service on active duty or
active duty training for at least 4 years and 1 day satisfies the over
four years of service requirement for O-1E pay. The applicant is not
eligible to receive O-1E pay; he has not met the requirement for
service over 4 years. Based on the above they recommend denying the
applicant's request (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1
Mar 02, 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and the recommendation of the Air
Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or an injustice.
The applicant did not meet the requirement of having served on active
duty for over 4 years to be eligible to receive O-1E pay. 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 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.

After thoroughly reviewing the documentation submitted with this appeal, we are not persuaded that the contested report is an inaccurate assessment of the applicant's performance during the contested time period. The applicant asserts that there was insufficient supervision under the rater and additional rater for an Evaluation Performance Report (EPR) to be rendered; however, the Board finds insufficient documentation to support this contention.
