AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00184
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, be corrected to reflect senior airman, rather than airman
first class.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He received a letter stating he had been promoted.
In support of his request, applicant provided a letter received by his
parents, a copy of his DD Form 214; AF Forms 2096, Classification/On-the-
Job Training Action; a personnel data report, and a Community College of
the Air Force registration application. His complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 2 Sep 87. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of airman first class, having assumed
that grade effective and with at date of rank of 2 Jan 89. On 15 Jul 91,
he was released from active duty under the Early Release Program. He
served 3 years, 10 months, and 14 days on active duty.
The portion of the applicant's request regarding his Primary Air Force
Specialty has been administratively corrected.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB recommends the applicant's request be denied as untimely. If
the Board decides to consider the request, denial is recommended. DPPPWB
states that based on his date of rank to airman first class, he would have
been promoted to senior airman on 2 Sep 90. He provides a letter to his
parents dated 4 Sep 90 notifying them he had been promoted. However, there
is no documentation in his records showing the rank of senior airman. He
has an Airman Performance Report closing out on 4 Mar 91 that reflects his
grade as airman first class. The applicant was asked to provide additional
documentation showing he was promoted, but he did not respond. The DPPPWB
evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7 May
04 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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 Air Force office of primary responsibility that the applicant has
not provided the appropriate documentation which would show that he was
recommended for and promoted to senior airman when he became eligible for
promotion. Therefore, we adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that he has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In
the absence of persuasive 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.
