RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02479
            INDEX CODE:  131.10
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  The effective date of his Control Air Force Specialty  Code  (CAFSC)  as
9D000, Dorm Manager, be changed to 18 Apr 01.

2.  His promotion test scores for the 02E6 promotion cycle  be  rescored  as
Promotion Fitness Examination (PFE) only.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He began performing Dorm Manager duties on 18 Apr 01.  For  the  02E6  cycle
he tested PFE and Specialty Knowledge Test (SKT)  for  the  Security  Forces
career field.  He recently discovered  that  he  tested  both  PFE  and  SKT
because his CAFSC wasn't effective until after  31  Dec  01,  the  Promotion
Eligibility Cutoff Date (PECD).  If the effective date in the  system  would
have matched the date he actually began working as a Dorm Manager, he  would
have tested PFE only and he  would  have  been  selected  for  promotion  to
technical sergeant in the 02E6 cycle.

In support of his request, applicant provided his approved  application  for
Dorm Manager duties, his Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs) closing 30  Sep
01 and  30  Sep  02,  memorandums  in  support  of  his  appeal,  and  email
communiqués.  His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air  Force  on  9
Jan 89.  He has been progressively promoted to the grade of staff  sergeant,
effective and with a date of rank of 1 Jan 97.  Applicant was  selected  for
promotion to the grade of technical during promotion cycle 03E6.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial.   DPPPWB  states  that  AFPC/DPAAD1  did  not
receive a request for the applicant to be released for Dorm  Manager  duties
until 22 Jan 02.  The request was disapproved based on manning.  On  17  May
02, DPAAD1 reconsidered release and  agreed  to  support  release  for  Dorm
Manager duty with a tour expiration of February  2003.   The  applicant  has
since tested in the 03E6 cycle in  the  9D000  AFSC  and  was  selected  for
promotion.

The DPPPWB evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 10  Oct
03 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office  has
received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice that would warrant  corrective  action.   It
appears that the applicant was assigned duties as a Dorm  Manager  in  April
2001.  However, due to administrative errors, that  were  no  fault  of  the
applicant's, he was not officially approved for award  of  the  9D000  CAFSC
until May 2002.  As a result he was required to  compete  for  promotion  in
the 02E6 promotion cycle in the Security Forces AFSC.   It  is  our  opinion
that since the applicant was performing Dorm Manager duties, as directed  by
his superiors, his records should  be  corrected  to  reflect  that  he  was
assigned the appropriate CAFSC at the time he was  placed  in  the  position
and that  he  be  considered  SKT  exempt  for  the  02E6  promotion  cycle.
Accordingly, we recommend that his records be corrected as 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 his Control Air Force Specialty  Code
(CAFSC), effective 18 April 2001, was 9D000.

It is further recommended that he  be  provided  supplemental  consideration
for promotion to  the  grade  of  technical  sergeant  (E-6)  for  the  O2E6
promotion cycle.

If AFPC discovers any adverse factors during or subsequent  to  supplemental
consideration that are separate and  apart,  and  unrelated  to  the  issues
involved in  this  application,  that  would  have  rendered  the  applicant
ineligible for the  promotion,  such  information  will  be  documented  and
presented to the  Board  for  a  final  determination  on  the  individual's
qualifications for the promotion.

If  supplemental  promotion  consideration  results  in  the  selection  for
promotion to  the  higher  grade,  immediately  after  such  promotion,  the
records shall be corrected to show that he was promoted to the higher  grade
on the date of rank established by the supplemental promotion  and  that  he
is entitled to all pay, allowances, and benefits of such grade  as  of  that
date.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF

      Having received and considered the recommendation of the Air Force
Board for Correction of Military Records and under the authority of Section
1552, Title 10, United States Code (70A Stat 116), it is directed that:

      The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his Control Air Force
Specialty Code (CAFSC), effective 18 April 2001, was 9D000.

      It is further directed that he be provided supplemental consideration
for promotion to the grade of technical sergeant (E-6) for the O2E6
promotion cycle.

      If AFPC discovers any adverse factors during or subsequent to
supplemental consideration that are separate and apart, and unrelated to
the issues involved in this application, that would have rendered the
applicant ineligible for the promotion, such information will be documented
and presented to the Board for a final determination on the individual's
qualifications for the promotion.

      If supplemental promotion consideration results in the selection for
promotion to the higher grade, immediately after such promotion, the
records shall be corrected to show that he was promoted to the higher grade
on the date of rank established by the supplemental promotion and that he
is entitled to all pay, allowances, and benefits of such grade as of that
date.
