RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-03140
INDEX CODE: 131.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect he was promoted to the grade of
airman first class (A1C) after his graduation from Jet Aircraft and
Engine Mechanics School.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes he was cheated out of a promotion that he truly deserved.
After his graduation from school, he was promoted to the grade of
airman second class (A2C). However, since he was an honor graduate,
he should have been promoted to A1C.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s available military personnel records indicate he enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 20 Mar 52 for a period of four years in
the grade of airman basic. He attended Jet Engine Mechanics School
from Jun 52 to Sep 52. He was honorably discharged on 19 Mar 56 under
the provisions of AFR 39-10 (Expiration Term of Service) in the grade
of staff sergeant (SSgt). He was credited with fours years of active
service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB recommended denial indicating they have requested that the
applicant provide additional documentation (promotion orders) to
support his appeal but have not received a response. Based on the
limited documentation, they could not determine if or when the
applicant should have been promoted to the grade of A1C.
A complete copy of the 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 29
Dec 04 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of
applicant's request and the limited documentation which was available,
we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant any
corrective action. Based upon the presumption of regularity in the
conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to the contrary,
we assume the applicant’s promotions during his military service were
proper and in compliance with appropriate directives. Therefore, we
find no basis upon which to favorably consider 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.

Additionally, we note that the rater on the contested report was in the applicant’s rating chain on the preceding report which, in our view, supports the position that the rater was familiar with the applicant and was aware of...

Since the applicant was in confinement until 7 May 2003, he was not eligible for promotion to airman until 8 May 2003 (6 months’ TIG) and was eligible for promotion to A1C on 8 March 2004 (10 months’ TIG). We note that in his current grade of airman first class, he reaches his Expiration Term of Service on 8 December 2004 and must separate.
