IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03654
INDEX CODE: 102.07
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date of rank (DOR) be adjusted according to Air Force policy.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His prior service should count towards establishment of a new DOR. He
was in the Regular Air Force from 1983 to 1989 and attained the rank
of Staff Sergeant (SSgt/E-5) with a DOR of Sep 88. He was in the Air
Force Reserve (AFRES) from Sep 88 to Jul 97 and attained the following
grades with DOR’s indicated: Technical Sergeant (TSgt/E-6) with DOR of
Jan 92; Master Sergeant (MSgt/E-7) with DOR of 1 Jul 95.
In support of his appeal, applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214,
copies of promotion orders to TSgt and MSgt, a copy of Air Force
Reserve DOR computation policy, and an email trail between applicant’s
unit and HQ ANG.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted his enlistment in the ANG on 1 March 2002
with approximately 15 years prior active and reserve service. He was
enlisted in the ANG as a SSgt/E-5 with a DOR of 1 March 2002.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ANG/DPFP recommends denial. DPFP defers to Air National Guard
Instruction (ANGI) 36-2002. Specifically, table 1.9, rule 2, which
requires that enlistees in the ANG, with a break in service of over
two years, establish their DOR as their date of enlistment in the ANG.
The applicant had a 4 year, 11 month break in service.
ANG/DPFP’s 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
28 February 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. 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 recommendation of the Air
National Guard (ANG) office of primary responsibility that ANG
Instructions are clear on the establishment of DOR and subsequent
requests for adjustments to such. The applicant had in excess of a
two-year break in service from the Air Force before enlisting into the
ANG establishing his DOR to be the date of his enlistment into the
ANG. Therefore, 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(s) 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.
