RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02182
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded two points for the AF Recruiting ribbon toward his
Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) points.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 36-2241v1, page 272, dated 1 Jul 03, states
“Individuals performing duty in the 8R000 Air Force Specialty Code
(AFSC) on 21 Jun 00 or later, who have accrued 36 months in that duty
and are certified by their Recruiting Service commander are entitled
to two WAPS points.” While he does have credit for the AF Recruiting
Ribbon, he has never received credit for the two WAPS points.
In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided copies of a DD
Form 1610, Request and Authorization for TDY Travel of DOD Personnel,
five different AF Form 2096’s, Classification/On-The-Job Training, and
five Enlisted Performance Reports (EPR’s) that cover the period from
16 Jun 94 through 31 Aug 98.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant is currently serving in active duty in the grade of
technical sergeant (TSgt/E-6). Applicant was a recruiter with the AF
from Jun 94 through Aug 98. He was returned to recruiting duty,
temporarily (TDY), from 24 Apr through 24 Aug 00 (123 days).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial. DPPPWB states the applicant performed
most of his recruiting duty prior to 21 Jun 00. MPFM 00-39
established criteria for award of the Recruiter Ribbon. The criteria
is recruiters, after 21 Jun 00, are authorized the Recruiting Ribbon
(and gain two WAPS points) if they perform for 36 months in recruiting
and are certified by their Recruiting Service commander. The
applicant performed as a recruiter for only 123 days after the 21 Jun
00 date. All other time as a recruiter was spent prior to that date
and therefore do not count.
DPPPWB’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant states the criteria for awarding of both AF Recruiting
Ribbon and the award of two points for WAPS testing is established in
MPFM 00-39 and attachments. The attachment to MPFM 00-39 specifying
the guidelines states in the introduction, “Individuals performing
duty in the 8R000 AFSC on 21 Jun 00 or later, that have accrued 36
months in that duty and are certified by their Recruiting Service
Commander are entitled to two WAPS points.” It goes on to state, in
paragraph 6, “Individuals completing 36 months of recruiter duty
between the following dates with the proper certification by the unit
recruiting service commander are eligible for the additional WAPS
points beginning in the listed cycle.” He contends he was working as
a recruiter (8R000) from 24 Apr 00 to 24 Aug 00 and has provided AF
Forms 2096 to substantiate this fact. He states with the 48 months
spent as a recruiter in an earlier time and the time above gives him
52 total months as a recruiter. He asks the Board to consider his
request based on information included here from MPFM 00-39.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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. Evidence reveals the applicant performed the
vast majority of his time as a recruiter prior to the qualifying date
of 21 June 2000 and subsequently does not meet the established
criteria for the award of two points towards his Weighted Airman
Performance System (WAPS) total. 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 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.
