RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-02147
INDEX CODE: 102.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade upon entry into the Air Force be corrected to reflect technical
sergeant (E-6), rather than staff sergeant (E-5).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was promoted to E-6 in the Army on 1 Apr 94. When he transferred to the
Air Force, the recruiter informed him he had to wear E-6 for five years in
order to keep the rank when enlisting in the Air Force. He received a
waiver to reenlist and his enlistment rank should have been E-6 in
accordance with AFI 36-2002.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of his DD Form 214, an
extract from AFI 36-2002, and documents extracted from his Army personnel
records. His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 13 Sep 89 and was progressively
promoted to the Army grade of staff sergeant (E-6), having assumed that
grade effective and with a date of rank of 1 Apr 94. He was honorably
discharged on 25 May 96 after serving 6 years, 8 months, and 13 days on
active duty. He enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 Nov 02, in the
grade of staff sergeant (E-5).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. DPPAE states the applicant signed a contract
stating he understood the terms of his enlistment agreement. AFI 36-2002,
clearly states the minimum total active federal military service (TAFMS)
required for enlistment in a higher pay grade than last held in the Regular
Air Force or when the last Regular component was non-USAF for E-6 is 10
years. He does not have the 10 years TAFMS. The 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 6 Aug
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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice that would warrant corrective action. We
took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case. However, after a thorough review of the evidence of record, it
appears that his entry grade was correctly computed in accordance with the
governing directives. We do not find his uncorroborated allegations of
miscounseling sufficiently enough to lead us to believe he is entitled to
any additional grade credit. Therefore we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt
their rationale as basis for our conclusion that he 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.
