RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-03589
INDEX CODE: 131.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 26 May 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge, be corrected to reflect the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC)
60591 and promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant (E-8) (SMSgt).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His superiors recommended him for promotion to SMSgt on his performance
report closing 24 November 1969.
In support of his application, he provides copies of his retirement order,
two personnel action requests, performance report closing 24 November 1969,
and his DD Form 214. The applicant’s complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 3 October 1950, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force at the
age of 20 for a period of four years in the rank of airman basic (E-1).
The applicant was progressively promoted to the rank of master sergeant
with a date of rank of 1 February 1968. An Air Force Form 1098, Personnel
Action Request, dated 5 March 1970, changed the applicant’s Primary AFSC
from 64770 to 60591. On 30 November 1970, the applicant was honorably
discharged for voluntary retirement in enlisted status and retired
effective 1 December 1970. He served 20 years, 1 month, and 28 days on
active duty.
On 5 January 2005, after review of the applicant’s appeal, AFPC/DPPRSP,
issued a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, to add his award of the
National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Republic
of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, and Republic of Vietnam Campaign
Medal. (Exhibit B)
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial. DPPPWB states the applicant’s record
reveals no promotion orders to indicate he was ever promoted to the grade
of SMSgt. He was considered for promotion to the grade of SMSgt during
calendar year (CY) 1970. An alphabetical listing of those members selected
for promotion to SMSgt during CY 1970 does not contain the applicant’s
name; therefore, he was nonselected. Nothing in the applicant’s record
indicates an error or injustice was made that prevented his promotion to
SMSgt. It is DPPPWB’s opinion that the applicant’s request should be time
barred since he waited 34 years to appeal to the Air Force Board for
Corrections of Military Records; however, if the Board chooses to decide
the case, they recommend denial of the applicant’s request based on lack of
official documentation and rationale provided. The DPPPWB evaluation, with
attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 14
January 2005, 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 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. The applicant asserts he should be
promoted to the grade of SMSgt because of promotion recommendations made by
the indorsing officials on his performance report closing 24 November 1969.
Based on the evidence provided and the evidence of record, we notice that
the applicant was considered for promotion to the grade of SMSgt in CY
1970; however, he was not selected. In the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting his request for
promotion to SMSgt. In reference to his request that his award of AFSC
60591 be reflected on his DD Form 214, we note that block 23a of his DD
Form 214 does reflect his AFSC as 60591, Air Transportation Supervisor.
Therefore we agree with the assessment by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our decision.
Accordingly, the applicant’s request is not favorably considered.

The applicant believes his Impaired Hearing and Tinnitus were caused by the noise exposure he experienced while performing duties as a senior woodworker. After a thorough review of the available evidence and the applicant’s complete submission, we find no evidence that he was awarded the AFCM 3OLC. Nor do we find evidence showing that his records should be corrected to show he was promoted to any grade higher than that currently reflected.
