IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02401

            COUNSEL:  NONE

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 475 - Education/Training Report (TR) rendered for the  period  7
June 2001 through 15 June 2002 be corrected to reflect his correct Duty  Air
Force Specialty Code (DAFSC), AFSC, and the period of  the  “FROM”  date  be
changed to 5 January 2002.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His AF Form 475 is in error.  The DAFSC in Block 4 of Section I should  read
K12B3D.  The AFSC in Block 1 of Section II should read W12B3D.   The  Period
of Report in Block 6 is incorrect and does not equate to the length  of  the
course.  Period of Report - From date  should  be  corrected  to  5  January
2002.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the  grade  of
major effective and with a date of rank (DOR) of 1 April 2003.

The AF Form 475  Education/Training  Report  for  the  period  7  June  2001
through 15 June 2002 block 4, section I  reflected  a  DAFSC  of  13B3E  and
block 1, section II reflected an AFSC of W13B3E.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPE recommended the Board approve the request to correct the  DAFSCs,
but deny the request to change the “FROM” date of the report.

The evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant provided a response which is at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  With regard  to  the  applicant’s  Duty
Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) and Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) on  the
contested Education/Training Report (TR), AF Form  475,  we  note  that  the
office of primary responsibility has recommended that these be corrected  as
requested and this we so recommend.  With respect to the “From” date on  the
contested TR, we note that according to the governing AFI  the  “From”  date
of the TR should be the day following the “Thru” date of  the  last  Officer
Performance Report (OPR) on file.  In the applicant’s case, the last OPR  on
file closed out on 7 June 2001 and the TR’s “From” date was  recorded  as  7
June 2001.  However, it appears that an OPR  for  the  period  8  June  2001
through 4 January 2002 was rendered on the applicant but was  not  a  matter
of record at the time the TR was prepared.   We  have  been  advised  by  HQ
AFPC/DPPPEP that the applicant’s Military Personnel Flight (MPF) has a  copy
of the OPR closing 4 January 2002 and it will be accepted for  file  in  his
Officer Selection Record (OSR).  In view  of  this  situation,  they  advise
there would be no objection to changing the “From”  date  on  the  contested
TR.  Therefore, in an effort to offset any possibility of an  injustice,  we
recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.   Lastly,
we note the applicant has been promoted in the primary zone to the grade  of
major, therefore, promotion consideration by a Special  Selection  Board  is
not an issue with respect to these changes to his record.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the  Education/Training  Report,  AF
Form 475, rendered for the period 7 June  2001  through  15  June  2002,  be
amended as follows:

     a. Section I, Block 4, DAFSC, K12B3D, rather than 13B3E.

     b. Section I, Block 6,  Period  of  Report,  reflect  5  January  2002,
rather than 7 June 2001.

     c. Section II, Block 1, AFSC/AERO Rating/Degree Awarded reflect  W12B3D
B-52 Weapons Instructor, rather than W13B3E B-52 Weapons Instructor.
