RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01818
INDEX CODE: 135.00, 102.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests that he regain
his Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) slot at NAS Corpus Christi, and be
given 10 warm-up flights in the T-34 and then placed in the T-44 track
located at the same base.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS)
indicates that on 27 November 1995, the applicant was appointed a second
lieutenant, Reserve of the Air Force and was voluntarily ordered to
extended active duty effective 15 March 1996. He is currently serving on
active duty in the grade of captain, with a date of rank and an effective
date of 15 March 2000. The applicant is currently serving at Mildenhall,
UK.
On 28 July 2003, the Board considered the applicant’s request that he
regain his Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) slot at NAS Corpus Christi,
and that his record be cleansed of his Officer Performance Reports
(OPRs)/Education/Training Reports (TRs) from Vance AFB and any others
between the time he left NAS Whiting Field until his return to UPT. The
Board considered these requests and granted that he regain his UPT slot at
Vance AFB, OK, and that his military record be cleansed of the TR closing
12 June 2001, received while stationed at Vance AFB, OK. The Board denied
his request to regain his UPT slot at NAS Corpus Christi and that his
military record be cleansed of his OPRs and TRs between the time he left
NAS Whiting Field until his return to UPT. For an accounting of the facts
and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s service, and, the Board’s
consideration of the appeal, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit J.
On 11 August 2003, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration,
contending that attendance into the Corpus Christi’s T-44 program with the
requested T-34 warm-up rides will ensure that an unbiased training is
procured. This choice would provide him the best training environment
option and ultimately result in the greatest benefit to the Air Force.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits a personal statement and
supportive statements. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit
K.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings in this case, we determined the circumstances of his
case warranted his being given an opportunity to reenter Undergraduate
Pilot Training; however, not at the Navy facility as he requested. We have
reviewed the applicant’s recent request and we remain unpersuaded with his
argument in requesting UPT training with the Navy. We took note of the
applicant’s contention that the leadership at Vance AFB has changed
slightly. Appropriate officials were contacted to investigate the
leadership that remains at Vance AFB. Contrary to the applicant’s
assertions, we found that only one person remains at Vance AFB, OK.
However, this finding is sufficient enough for the Board to reevaluate its
position regarding the location for UPT training. Appropriate Air Force
officials have advised that there are Air Force installations other than
Vance AFB, OK that offer the T-38 advanced track training. Therefore, we
believe that in the best interest of both the Air Force and the applicant,
he resume his Air Force flying career with the Air Force, at a training
facility other than Vance AFB, OK. In view of the above, we recommend that
his records be corrected as indicated below. Lastly, we consider this
decision concerning the applicant’s training location to be final.
Therefore, in the absence of new relevant evidence, further consideration
on this matter will not be entertained.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that provided he is otherwise eligible,
he be reinstated in Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) at an Air Force Base
installation, other than Vance AFB, OK, at the earliest practicable date
for the purpose of T-38 advanced (Bomber-Fighter) track training.

He received one AF Form 475 dated 14 June 2001 to document his elimination from Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) due to flying deficiencies. The environment presented at Vance AFB, was in direct violation of the Department of Defense, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the United States Air Force, Air Education and Training Command, the 71st Flying Training Wing, and the 25th Flying Training Squadron regulations policies, and guidelines concerning sexual harassment,...
On 12 March 1998, the applicant was presented an OFFICER/AIRMAN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE COMMITMENT (ADSC) COUNSELING STATEMENT, AF Form 63, acknowledging that he would incur an eight-year ADSC upon completion of PV4PC (apparently pilot training), but he declined to sign the form. The issue of whether applicant had knowledge of his eight-year commitment becomes muddled because Academy graduates did not sign an AF Form 63 (or any other documentation) specifically setting out the commitment length...

This exam is required for all students being considered for elimination to ensure students are “medically qualified at the time of any non-medical disenrollment.” As a result, the applicant was to be reinstated into training following a Medical Hold status to resolve the medical issue. At the time of her elimination, there was a policy allowing up to 6 months in Medical Hold before students would be considered for elimination. Then following the 3-month Medical Hold, the Flight Surgeon...

Based on a review of the facts, we agree she should have met an FEB after her elimination from FWQ training as an FEB would be the only correct action to evaluate retention in (or removal from) training, and qualification for continued aviation service. She failed two opportunities to complete fixed wing training and should have met an FEB. ____________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air...
