RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03736
INDEX CODE: 102.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her enlistment in the Air National Guard (ANG) be as an Airman (Amn/E-
2) instead of as an Airman Basic (AB/E-1).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She has over 30 quarter hours of college that entitles her to enlist
at the higher grade of Amn/E-2.
In support of her appeal, applicant submits a letter from the
Recruiting Office Supervisor of the Ohio ANG (OH ANG) and copies of
her DD Form 4/1 and DD Form 4/2, Enlistment/Reenlistment documents.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted her enlistment in the Ohio ANG on 17 October
2001 while she was a high school senior. She graduated from high
school in June 2002 with 33-quarter hours of college credit.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ANG/DPPI recommends denial under the auspices of Air National Guard
Instruction (ANGI) 36-2002, Enlistment and Reenlistment in the Air
National Guard. Table 1.7, rule 10, of ANGI 36-2002 indicates that
enlistees may be enlisted at the grade of E-2 if they have at least 30
but less than 67 quarter-hours of college credit. DPPI states that
since the applicant’s enlistment was prior to her high school
graduation and therefore prior to her accumulation of the required
college credit, that her enlistment as an E-1 was correct.
ANG/DPPI’s evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
21 March 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
there has been no response 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an injustice warranting partial relief. After reviewing
the evidence of record, we believe that the applicant's enlistment in
the Air National Guard in the grade of Airman Basic was in accordance
with ANGI 36-2002. Therefore we find no reason to change her
enlistment grade. However, in view of the fact that the applicant
accrued over 30 quarter hours of college credits by the time she
graduated from high school in June 2002, we believe she should be
entitled to the benefit of this achievement. In view of the above and
in an effort to remove any possibility of an injustice, we recommend
that she be promoted to the grade of Airman on 30 June 2002 and her
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was promoted to
the grade of airman (E-2) effective and with a date of rank of 30 June
2002 in the Air National Guard and the Reserve of the Air Force.
