                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-01105

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED: No

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His high year of tenure (HYT) be extended to allow him three additional
years on active duty due  to  his  selection  for  promotion  to  staff
sergeant (SSgt) after the Board’s previous decision, which allowed  him
to test for promotion.  This will allow him to pin on his promotion  to
SSgt.

_______________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 10 Sep 03, the Board denied the applicant’s request to  restore  him
to the grade of SSgt with his original date of rank (DOR) of 1 Dec  92.
However, the Board did grant the applicant the  opportunity  to  regain
his grade through the normal process of testing in the weighted  airman
promotion system.  The applicant tested and was selected for  promotion
with a line number of 11726, which is  projected  to  pin  on  sometime
between June and  August  2005.   The  applicant’s  mandatory  date  of
separation, due to his HYT, is 14 Feb 05.  He was granted  a  one-month
extension to 14 Mar 05 by the Air Force.  In a letter dated 14 Feb  05,
the applicant requested his HYT be extended for a period of three years
(Exhibit I).

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Based on our previous decision to allow the applicant  the  opportunity
to regain his grade of SSgt through the normal competitive process,  we
believe he should be allowed sufficient additional time on active  duty
to  assume  the  higher  grade.    However,   after   considering   the
circumstances that led to his loss of rank and the fact the  Air  Force
is not currently considering HYT  extensions,  we  do  not  believe  he
should be granted a period of three years  as  he  has  requested.   To
grant his request as stated would provide  an  unfair  entitlement  not
being extended to others in the  Air  Force.   We  believe  a  one-year
extension of his HYT is appropriate and  will  provide  him  sufficient
time to assume the grade of SSgt and prepare  for  his  retirement  and
transition from the Air Force.  Therefore, we recommend his records  be
corrected as indicated below.

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of  the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to  show  that  competent  authority
approved a waiver of his High Year of Tenure as an exception to policy,
thereby establishing his date of separation as 28 February 2006.

_______________________________________________________________

    However, the Board decided to grant the applicant a measure of relief based on clemency and promoted him to the grade of senior airman with a DOR of 1 Oct 03, which allowed him an opportunity to test for promotion to the grade of SSgt and allow him to retire in that grade.

    He states that at the time he was considered for promotion to MSgt, he had more than 12 months left until retirement. Counsel opines that based on the stipulations in AFI 36-2502 and AFRC 36-2102, the Air Force could have, and should have, granted the applicant the promotion to master sergeant (MSgt). The waiver was denied because the applicant would have only been able to perform duty as a MSgt for 10 months before reaching his mandatory retirement at High Year of Tenure Date of 20 Mar 07.
