RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01020
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He entered the Air Force on 9 May 2002 with over one year time-in-
grade (TIG) as a senior airman (E-4). As a new member, he was unaware
of his eligibility to test for E-5. He was kept uninformed about his
promotion eligibility and feels he could have possibly been promoted
with his peers had he tested sooner.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his
Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) Weighted Factors. The
applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant has prior enlisted active duty service with the United
States Marine Corps (USMC) from 22 September 1997 to 21 December 2001.
He was released from active duty in the grade of corporal (E-4) and
transferred to the USMC Reserve on 22 December 2001 until his
discharge on 5 May 2002.
Applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 9 May
2002 for a period of four years in the grade of senior airman (E-4),
with an adjusted date of rank (DOR) of 18 January 2001.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPPWB recommends the application be denied. DPPPWB states
that the applicant’s 18 January 2001 date of rank (DOR) to senior
airman (E-4) made him eligible for promotion consideration to the
grade of staff sergeant (E-5) for cycle 03E5. However, he did not
possess the required five-skill level. An exception to policy skill
level waiver request was submitted and approved on 6 November 2003.
On 17 November 2003, the applicant signed an AF Form 1566
acknowledging his promotion eligibility and testing date of 13 January
2004. He was provided supplemental promotion consideration for cycle
03E5 and rendered a nonselect. The applicant’s situation is not
unique as 90 other prior service members tested out of cycle and were
considered supplementally for 03E5. The applicant was provided fair
and equitable promotion consideration in accordance with existing
policy and procedures. The HQ AFPC/DPPPWB evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 23
April 2004 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 the rationale expressed as
the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain
his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice. In
this respect, we note that the applicant was provided supplemental
promotion consideration using the same procedures that is afforded
others in similar circumstances. We have seen no evidence showing the
applicant was not provided fair and equitable promotion consideration
in accordance with existing policy and procedures. In view of the
above and absent 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.

Because of his disenrollment from OTS, his line number was removed and not reinstated. Even though the loss of this selection based on his entry into OTS prior to the time the promotion would have been incremented was proper and in accordance with the governing directive, we believe, based on the circumstances in this case, the earlier selection for promotion should be restored. The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A. DD Form 149, dated 4 May 04, w/atchs.
AF | BCMR | CY2005 | BC-2005-00233
His request for supplemental promotion consideration was denied because the order date on the DECOR6 was after the cutoff for cycle 03E5. Applicant’s request for supplemental promotion consideration during cycle 03E5 was denied by AFPC on 20 August 2004, since the AFAM, 1 OLC, recommendation was not placed into official military channels until after selections for cycle 03E5 were announced. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPPPWB...
