                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-03475
            INDEX CODE:  102.07
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  Not Indicated

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her enlistment documents be corrected to reflect that she  enlisted  in  the
grade of E-3, rather than E-2.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her official transcripts were not provided at the time of her enlistment.

In support of  her  request,  applicant  provided  a  copy  of  her  college
transcripts, her DD Form 214, and her  enlistment  contract.   Her  complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 12 May 03 in the grade of  E-
2 for a period of 6 years.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/DPM  recommends  denial.   DPM  states  that  the  transcript  provided
reflects 52 quarters at the time of enlistment.  In  accordance  with  AFRCI
36-2001, 67 or more quarter hours are required for enlistment in  the  grade
of E-3.  The DPM 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 26  Nov
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.  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,  the
transcripts provided by the applicant reflect that  upon  the  date  of  her
enlistment she had completed only 52 quarter hours.  In accordance with  the
appropriate directives, in order to enlist in  the  grade  of  airman  first
class (E-3), she must have completed 67 or more quarter  hours.   Therefore,
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.  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.
