AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00847
INDEX CODE: 102.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her date of rank (DOR) be corrected to include eight (8) years of Army
Reserve service, and six and a half (6½) years served as a captain.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Air Force capped her years of service credit at seven years and
the grade of captain.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provided copies of her service
computation documents, appointment order, point credit summary,
extracts from her Army records, and other documents associated with
the matter under review.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Available documentation indicates that the applicant served in the
United States Army Reserve (USAR) from 31 Jul 89 to 6 Jan 98. She had
served a total of 8 years, 5 months, and 6 days.
Applicant was appointed a captain, Reserve of the Air Force (Nurse
Corps), on 27 Jun 00. Her date of rank (DOR) is 27 Jun 00. Her Total
Federal Commissioned Service Date (TFCSD) is 21 Jan 92.
An ARPC Form 0-179, Computation for Grade Determination, indicates
that the applicant was granted seven (7) years of service credit.
Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) indicates
that the applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of captain as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPA recommended denial indicating that the applicant’s package
was screened and processed in accordance with governing Air Force
instruction, statute, and HQ AFRC/SG policy, which directed service
credit to be limited to seven (7) years for individuals appointed as
Nurse Corps (NC), Medical Service Corps (MSC), and Biomedical Sciences
Corps (BSC) officers. The applicant was granted the full seven (7)
years of service credit according to AFRC/SG policy memorandum on
service credit limitation in effect at the time. According to
ARPC/DPA, her service credit has been verified for the Nurse Corps as
accurate.
A complete copy of the ARPC/DPA evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit B.
ARPC/DPA provided an addendum to its original advisory amending
paragraphs 6a, 6b, and 6c, which pertained to the issue of the
applicant’s TYSD and the action required to afford relief if the Board
was inclined to grant (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant on 3
Jul 02 and 11 Oct 02 for review and response. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office (Exhibits D and 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 error or injustice. The applicant's complete
submission was thoroughly reviewed and her contentions were duly
noted. However, we do not find the applicant’s assertions or the
documentation submitted in support of her appeal sufficiently
persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force office
of primary responsibility (OPR). Therefore, in the absence of
sufficient evidence that the applicant’s constructive service credit,
based on her appointment as a Nurse Corps officer in the Air Force
Reserve, was erroneously computed, we agree with the recommendation of
the OPR and adopt their rationale as the basis for our decision that
the applicant has failed to sustain her burden of establishing that
she has suffered either an error or an injustice. Accordingly, 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.
