RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01540
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE: 10 NOVEMBER 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect his rank as E-5 (Staff
Sergeant) versus E-4 (Sergeant).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Recent paperwork from St Louis MO indicates he is an honorably
discharged staff sergeant. His DD Form 214 says he was an E-4
Sergeant.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a personal statement, a
copy of his Certificate of Military Service, and a copy of his DD Form
214.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 15 June 1982 for a
period of six years. He was progressively promoted to the grade of
senior airman on 29 November 1984, and appointed a Noncommissioned
Officer in the grade of sergeant on 1 November 1985. He received five
Airman Performance Reports (APRs) closing 9 August 1983, 9 August
1984, 9 August 1985, 30 June 1986, and 30 June 1987 of which the
overall evaluations were “8,” “8,” “9,” “9,” and “9.”
Applicant received an Article 15 dated 24 September 1982, for the
following: On or about 20 September 1982, he was derelict in the
performance of his duties in that he willfully failed to prohibit a
female member from visiting his assigned dormitory room, as it was his
duty to do. Punishment consisted of forfeiture of $50.00 of his pay.
Applicant was released from active duty under the provisions of AFR 39-
10, Early Separation Program--Strength Reduction on 2 March 1988 in
the grade of E-4 (Sergeant). He had served 5 years, 8 months and 18
days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB states a review of the applicant’s record reveals he was
considered and nonselected for promotion to Staff Sergeant five times
before his separation on 2 March 1988. They therefore must assume
that the copy of his Certificate of Military Service is in error and
his DD Form 214 is correct. As a matter of information, the rank of
Sergeant (Sgt) was not terminated/redesignated as Senior Airman (SrA)
until 2 May 1991. Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant’s
request.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 3 June 2005, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and response 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 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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to recommend granting 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.
