                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-00640
            INDEX CODE:  135.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her records be reevaluated for points from Reserve duty, correction  of  her
Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) and date of rank  (DOR),
and that she be allowed to test for the current  technical  sergeant  (TSgt)
cycle.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her DOR to SSgt should reflect the date she originally pinned on (1  January
1993) while serving in the Air Force Reserves.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provided Reserve Order  P-05,  dated
1 January 1993 and other documentation.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserves on 26  June  1984  and  was
honorably discharged on 20 January 1985.  She enlisted in  the  Regular  Air
Force on 21 January 1985 and was released from active duty on 5  April  1988
and transferred to the Reserves of  the  Air  Force  on  6  April  1988  and
discharged on 3 February 1999.  She entered active duty 4 February  1999  in
the grade of senior airman.  She was promoted to  staff  sergeant  effective
and with a date of rank of 1 December 2001.

EXAMINER’S NOTE:  Based on a  corrected  statement  of  service  AFPC/DPPAOR
determined that her EAD and DOR is 4 February 1999.   Apparently,  an  error
was made indicating her DOR to senior airman however, it  appears  that  her
DOR to staff sergeant is correct.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPWB  recommended  denial.   They  indicated  that  HQ   AFPC/DPPAEQ,
Enlisted  Accessions,  reviewed  this  case  and  found  no  errors  in  the
applicant’s enlistment contract or enlistment grade of  senior  airman.   HQ
AFPC/DPPAOR, Service Verifications, determined that the applicant  has  been
credited with all active duty time  served  prior  to  her  4  January  1999
return to active duty.   They  have  also  determined  since  applicant  was
separated from a regular  component  for  more  than  4 years,  her  DOR  is
accurately established as the entry to active duty date - 4 January 1999.

The evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 30 May 2003, a copy of the Air Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant for review and response 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 an error or an injustice.   The  applicant  contends  that  her
date of rank (DOR) to staff sergeant should reflect the date she  originally
pinned on (1 January 1993) while serving in  the  Air  Force  Reserves.   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
Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for  our  conclusion  that  the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  It appears  the
applicant has been credited with all active duty time served  prior  to  her
return to active duty in 1999.  Since  she  was  separated  from  a  regular
component for more than four years, she has not  established  that  her  DOR
should not be the date she entered active duty.  It appears  that  based  on
her DOR to staff sergeant  she  will  be  eligible  to  test  for  technical
sergeant in the February/March 2004 timeframe.  Therefore,  in  the  absence
of evidence to the contrary,  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 an error or an 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.
