RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00783
INDEX CODE: 102.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force be changed from four years
to six years and he be given the pay grade of airman first class (E-3).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His recruiter told him he would receive the pay grade of airman first class
(E-3) by enlisting in the Air Force for six years.
In support of his application, he provides a statement from his recruiter,
a copy of an Air Force Recruiting Information Support System (AFRISS)
Chronological Application History report, and copies of his enlistment
agreement documentation. The applicant’s complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 29 September 2003, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve at
the age of 21 under the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program (DEP) in the grade
of airman basic for a period of eight years. On 16 October 2003, the
applicant signed a Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement for training in
Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 4P031, Pharmacy Apprentice. On 24 November
2003, the applicant was released from the DEP and enlisted in the Regular
Air Force at the age of 22 in the grade of airman basic for a period of
four years. The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade
of airman (E-2) with a date of separation of 23 November 2007.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the applicant’s request be denied. DPPAE states that
all of the applicant’s enlistment documentation reflect a four-year
enlistment. Even though he was conditionally approved for a dependency
waiver/determination, the career field he chose, AFSC 4P031, did not have a
six-year option at the time of his enlistment. It is evident that at the
time, there were no other six-year jobs available and he accepted a job
without the option. The AFPC/DPPAE 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 2
April 2004 for review and response 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. After reviewing the applicant's complete
submission in judging the merits of the case, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility that the
applicant does not meet the enlistment requirements in his current career
field for a six-year enlistment in the grade of airman first class (E-3).
We note that while the applicant was preliminarily approved for a
dependency waiver/determination based on enlisting for six years, the job
he selected did not have a six-year enlistment option at the time he
entered the Air Force. The applicant has provided no evidence that would
lead us to believe he was miscounseled concerning his term of enlistment
when he signed the Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement for duty in
AFSC 4P031. Therefore, in the absence of such evidence or showing that his
enlistment for four years was contrary to Air Force policies then in
effect, 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.

_________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied. After a thorough review of the applicant’s military records, DPPAE found no documentation to substantiate changing his HOR. However, his application does not convince us that the HOR currently reflected in his records was incorrectly recorded at the time he was initially ordered to active duty.
