RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00224
INDEX NUMBER: 131.05
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to retain the date of rank (DOR), 1 May 94, of his
promotion to staff sergeant (SSgt) while in the Air Force Reserve.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His recruiter told him that he would retain his original DOR to SSgt
upon reentering active duty.
He feels he is being penalized for returning to active duty after nine
years in the Air Force Reserve.
Although he understands the purpose of the regulation that requires
his DOR be reset upon entering active duty, he believes he falls into
a different category. It was never his intention to make rank [in the
Reserves], and then return to active duty, especially after nine
years.
Loss of his original DOR is costing him 40 points toward promotion and
depriving him of the opportunity to test for promotion to technical
sergeant (E-6) during the 2003 E-6 promotion cycle.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides letters of support
from his rating chain and copies of his Enlisted Performance Reports
(EPRs).
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force (RegAF) on 19 Oct 88.
He was discharged from the RegAF on 16 Aug 93 in the grade of senior
airman (E-4). On 17 Aug 93, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force
Reserve. He was promoted to the grade of SSgt on 1 May 1994. He was
discharged from the Air Force Reserve on 6 Jul 00. On 7 Jul 00, he
enlisted in the --- Air National Guard and was discharged on 3 Apr 03.
The applicant enlisted in the RegAF on 4 Apr 02, in the grade of
SSgt, with DOR of 4 Apr 02, the date he entered the RegAF.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPPAOR recommends denial of the applicant’s request. AFI 36-
2604, paragraph 8.1, states that former members of a regular component
enlisting on or after their 6th anniversary of their date of
separation (DOS) receive a DOR equal to the date of enlistment in the
RegAF. The applicant’s DOR was computed correctly in accordance with
this policy.
The complete 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
19 Mar 04 for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response
has not been received.
_________________________________________________________________
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, 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. Therefore, 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.

The applicant provides another memo from the commander to the senior rater, also dated 20 Jul 04, requesting the applicant be given an accelerated promotion to major with a DOR of 15 Apr 04 (Exhibit A).
