RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00735
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS:
Reinstatement of his Promotion Sequence Number (PSN) 11276.0 for Cycle
99E5 to staff sergeant (E-5), promotions effective Sep 99 - Aug 00.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement,
statements from his former commander and current commander and
additional documents associated with the issues cited in his
contentions. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments,
is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force
on 15 Dec 93. On 14 Nov 99, he was released from active duty under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Completion of Required Active Service)
and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He had completed a total of
5 years and 11 months and was serving in the grade of E-4 at the time
of separation. On 12 Jun 01, the applicant enlisted in the Regular
Air Force in the grade of E-4 for a period of 4 years.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPPWB recommends the application be denied. DPPPWB stated
that the applicant was tentatively selected for promotion to the grade
of staff sergeant (E-5) during Cycle 99E5 per Promotion Sequence
Number (PSN) 11276.0, which would have been incremented on 1 May 00.
When the applicant separated in the grade of E-4, before his promotion
to E-5 would have been effective, the projected promotion was
canceled. The fact that he enlisted 19 months later does not entitle
him to be promoted to E-5, a grade that he was selected for almost 2
years earlier. With an E-4 date of rank of 15 Dec 96, the applicant
will be eligible for promotion consideration to E-5 for the 02E5 cycle
(promotions effective 1 Sep 02 - 1 Aug 03). The HQ AFPC/DPPPWB
evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and indicated that he was
forced to choose separation from the Air Force because he exhausted
all his avenues to try to resolve his hardships. While the Air Force
was unwilling to grant him an assignment and the Dependency
Certification, he felt that he had no other choice but to sacrifice
his promotion and postpone his military career. The applicant’s
complete response is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as
the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain
his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice. In
view of the above and absent 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.
