RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-03223
INDEX CODE: 112.07
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. COUNSEL: NONE
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His enlistment contract be corrected to reflect an enlistment grade of
airman first class (E-3) vice airman basic (E-1).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to a misunderstanding on the part of his recruiter, he was not
enlisted in the grade of E-3 because he did not complete basic
military training (BMT).
In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement, a
copy of DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of
the United States, AFRCI 36-2001, Chapter 6, Prior Service Program and
AF Form 4021 Application for Incentive Participation.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Army on 27 February 2003 in the grade of
E-1. He was discharged on 6 June 2003 for entry-level performance and
conduct, and received and uncharacterized entry-level separation. On
11 August 2003, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserves as an airman
basic and is currently serving in the grade of airman first class.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/RSS recommends the applicant’s request be denied. RSS states
that AFRCI 36-2001, AFR Recruiting Procedures, identifies members who
have completed 84 days or more of active duty in a Regular or Reserve
component, to be accessed into the Air Force Reserve as a prior
service enlistee. This criterion includes members who have not
successfully completed any recognized BMT. The applicant falls under
this criterion, because he did not complete his Army BMT, but attained
100 days of active duty. He was approved for a bonus under the Prior
Service Enlisted Incentive Bonus Program. Under this program, a
member qualifies for monetary rewards only and grades are not affected
in any way. Applicants enlisting as a prior service member must
enlist at the grade held highest at their time of discharge, in this
instance, the grade of E-1. The applicant was processed correctly by
the recruiter as a prior service member.
The RSS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
29 December 2004 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
applicant’s submission to include his contention that it was a
misunderstanding on the part of the recruiting staff and that he
should have been enlisted as an E-3, we are not persuaded that the
relief requested should be granted. We took notice of the 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 its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the member has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, we find no compelling basis to warrant favorable
consideration of 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.
