RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01958
INDEX CODE: 102.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His entry grade be corrected to reflect E-3, rather than E-2, with a date
of rank (DOR) of 30 Aug 01.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was an E-4 with a DOR of 1 May 00 while in transition from the Guard to
active duty. He lost two grades and is confused as to why he would have
lost rank.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of his Tennessee Air
National Guard (ANG) separation order, his NGB Form 22, National Guard
Bureau Report of Separation and Record of Service; and his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. His complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 29 Aug 01, the applicant was discharged from the ANG in the grade of E-
4. On 30 Aug 01, he enlisted in the Regular Air Force in the grade of E-2.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE reviewed applicant's request and recommends denial. DPPAE
states that AFI 36-2002 outlines the Total Active Federal Military Service
(TAFMS) requirements to enlist in a grade previously held in a branch other
than the Regular Air Force. To enlist in the grade of E-2 requires 90 days
TAFMS, E-3 requires 12 months, and E-4 requires 2 years TAFMS. At the time
of his enlistment, the applicant accumulated 9 months and 17 days TAFMS.
Upon his enlistment he signed and initialed an Enlistment Agreement
acknowledging and understanding that he will be enlisting in the grade of E-
2 with no claim to a higher grade. His enlistment grade was determined in
accordance with governing directives based on the applicant having more
than 90 days and less than 12 months TAFMS.
The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 11 Oct
02 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has
received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 that would warrant corrective action.
After reviewing the available evidence of record it appears that his grade
and date of rank upon enlistment into the Air Force were properly
determined. Evidence has not been presented which would lead us to believe
that the regulations in effect at the time were not appropriately applied
or that he was treated differently than others in similar situations.
Accordingly, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issue involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
