RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-02631
INDEX NUMBER: 131.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be provided supplemental promotion consideration to the grade of senior
master sergeant (E-8) for cycle 01E8 in the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC)
8J000 (Correctional Custody) career field.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Through no fault of his own, and despite his attempts to correct his
records prior to selections during cycle 01E8, he was considered for
promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant in the wrong AFSC. He
should have been considered for promotion in AFSC 8J000 during cycle 01E8
since he performed the duties of the Superintendent of the XXXXX
Correctional Custody Facility from 28 September 1999 to 5 February 2001.
Prior to promotion selections for cycle 01E8, he reviewed his Data
Verification Record (DVR) and discovered that his AFSC was incorrectly
listed as his old AFSC (2E171). He contacted his commander who took action
to have the error corrected prior to promotion testing and promotion
selections for cycle 01E8. He verified that his records had been corrected
to reflect his duty and control AFSCs (DAFSC and CAFSC) as 8J000. However,
when he tested his AFSC was still incorrectly listed as 2E171. He brought
this to the attention of the testing proctors and was told that both AFSCs
used the same version of the test. The problem was mainly due to the fact
that he was under a wing position but functionally under the mission
support squadron.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits Enlisted Performance Reports
(EPRs) reflecting his DAFSC as 8J000, statements from the squadron
commander and command chief master sergeant, Unit Manning Documents (UMDs),
and a Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) testing notification for
cycle 02E8 listing his AFSC as 8J000.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s DAFSC history since 1993, follows:

1 Oct 99 8J000
5 Feb 01 2E171
1 Feb 03 2E171

EPRs rendered for the period 29 August 1998 through 28 January 2001,
reflect his duty title as Superintendent, Correctional Custody and First
Term Airmen’s Center (FTAC), and his DAFSC as 8J000.
Applicant’s board scores, total scores, and score required for selection
are as follows:
Cycle Board Score Total Score Cutoff Score
01E8 307.50 551.01 659.37
02E8 337.50 589.29 664.47
03E8 330.00 590.86 668.78
04E8 345.00 634.21 669.05

AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
AFPC/DPAAD recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
AFPC/DPAA did not approve applicant’s release or the CAFSC change from
2E171 to 8J000. The 8J000 program is a commander’s optional program and
selection to fill funded billets is managed locally; however, the approval
authority for functional release is AFPC/DPAA. While applicant’s
documentation clearly indicates he performed duties outside of his CAFSC,
they have no record of authorizing his release for a Special Duty
Identifier (SDI). Even if his functional release had been approved, his
PAFSC would not have changed, only his CAFSC and DAFSC.
Although the UMD applicant provided reflects that a staff sergeant position
existed, it does not justify placing a master sergeant 7-level against that
position. Further, the wing did not have any funded 8J000 authorizations
from October 1999 to January 2001 and does not at this time. According to
Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), some of their Military Personnel Flights
(MPFs) erroneously updated individuals to 8J000 because members were
performing duty at a temporary correctional custody facility and wanted the
8J000 on their records because of the promotion opportunities.
The AFPC/DPAAD evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPPWB recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
neither AFPC/DPAAD nor applicant’s Major Air Command (MAJCOM) ever approved
his release from AFSC 2E171 or that his AFSC be changed to 8J000.
The AFPC/DPPPWB evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Peterson AFB out-sourced most of the personnel assigned to AFSC 2E1X1
during the 1998/1999 timeframe and the unit he was last assigned to moved
to F.E. Warren AFB. He was then triple billeted under AFSC 2E1X1 until the
command chief asked if he would take on the correctional custody facility.
AFPC/DPAAD eludes to the fact that his records were erroneously updated,
disregarding or minimizing the documentation he has provided that shows his
PAFSC, CAFSC, and DAFSC was 8J000 during the period in question. He has
provided evidence which demonstrates the wing had a funded slot and he was
assigned to that position. AFPC/DPAAD correctly states that his position
was funded as a staff sergeant slot, but that is a funding issue, not a
manpower issue. Furthermore, in 1998, it was a master sergeant slot until
the wing moved the funding for a master sergeant to the Honor Guard. This
was done to beef up the Honor Guard slot when it appeared the correctional
custody facility was about to close.
Applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice to warrant the applicant’s supplemental
consideration for promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant in Air
Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 8J000 for cycle 01E8. The applicant contends
that through no fault of his own, and despite his attempts to correct his
records prior to selections during cycle 01E8, he was considered for
promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant in the wrong AFSC. In
support of his request, he submits Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs)
reflecting his DAFSC as 8J000, statements from the squadron commander and
command chief master sergeant, Unit Manning Documents (UMDs), and a WAPS
promotion testing notification for cycle 02E8 listing his AFSC as 8J000.
The evidence of record indicates that from 28 September 1999 to 5 February
2001, he performed the duties of the Superintendent of the Peterson
Correctional Custody Facility in AFSC 8J000. Although AFPC/DPAAD did not
approve applicant’s release or the CAFSC change from 2E171 to 8J000, based
on a preponderance of the evidence presented, a majority of the Board finds
sufficient evidence that he was led to believe his release had been
approved. In view of this, and since he was performing duty in the 8J000
AFSC during the period in question, a majority of the Board recommends the
applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be provided supplemental consideration for promotion to the
grade of senior master sergeant in Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 8J000
for cycle 01E8.
If AFPC discovers any adverse factors during or subsequent to supplemental
consideration that are separate and apart, and unrelated to the issues
involved in this application, that would have rendered the applicant
ineligible for the promotion, such information will be documented and
presented to the Board for a final determination on the individual's
qualification for the promotion.
