RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02588
INDEX CODE: 102.07
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for pay and correction of current rank, based on the
accumulation of college credits.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Before entering the Air Force basic training he earned college credits.
Upon graduation from basic training he should have been promoted to airman
(E-2). On 28 November 2002, he should have been promoted to airman first
class (E-3) and should currently be in the grade of senior airman (E-4).
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserves (AFRes) on 31 May 2001 in
the grade of airman basic for a period of six years. He is currently
serving in the grade of airman first class effective and with a date of
rank (DOR) of 1 July 2003.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/RSOO recommended denial. They indicated that based on the information
they have reviewed, there is no justification to warrant applicant’s
request. The college hours he wants to be credited with were earned after
his initial enlistment date.
The evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFRC/DPZ indicates that if the decision is to grant the relief sought, the
record should be corrected to show the applicant’s DOR to airman as 31 May
2001 (his initial date of enlistment into the Air Force Reserve).
Subsequent promotions as follows: promotion to A1C as 1 January 2003;
promotions to SRA as 1 September 2003. Each promotion to the next higher
grade would have an effective date of promotion equal to the DOR indicated
for the grade, with the corresponding applicable differences in military
pay awarded for any duties performed in that particular grade since 31 May
2001.
The evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 26 September 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 probable error or injustice. The applicant contends that
before entering Air Force basic training he earned college credits and
therefore, upon graduation from basic training, he should have been
promoted to airman (E-2). Subsequently, he contends he should have been
promoted on 28 November 2002, to airman first class (E-3) and should
currently be in the grade of senior airman (E-4). 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. In this respect, had the
applicant accumulated 30-quarter hours prior to his enlistment in the Air
Force Reserves he would have been qualified for airman (E-2). Further, a
cumulative of 67-quarter hours would have qualified him for the grade of
airman first class (E-3). It appears that the applicant did not earn any
college credits prior to enlisting in the Air Force Reserves on 31 May
2001. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an 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.
