             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  05-02035
            INDEX CODE:  111.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be given any promotions due to him associated with the correction of  his
Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was erroneously tested from 1988 to 1990.   During  his  first  promotion
experience, he was told he was coded to test Promotion  Fitness  Examination
(PFE) only.  Because of the fact that he was  the  only  C-141B  crew  chief
stationed in his flight, he  didn’t  know  that  his  new  AFSC  number  was
incorrect.  He didn’t realize  this  until  after  he  PCSd  to  Eglin  AFB.
During the Military Personnel Flight’s (MPF) attempt to  correct  his  AFSC,
he was told to test with the wrong AFSC because he would get  consideration.
 He was then told his testing was invalid because he wasn’t  in  that  AFSC.
His MPF encouraged him to file for correction and possible promotion.

In support of his appeal, the applicant  provides  copies  of  his  AF  Form
2096, Classification/On-The-Job Training Action, dated 11 February 1987,  17
January 1989, 2 August 1990,  17  September  1990,  27  September  1990,  17
January 1991 and 21 January 1992, respectively, and copies of  his  Enlisted
Evaluation Reports for the periods beginning 22 August 1986  and  ending  30
December 2004.  His submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The Military Personnel Database (MilPDS) indicates applicant’s Total  Active
Federal Military Service Date as 22 August 1986.  He has been  progressively
promoted to the grade of technical sergeant  (E-6),  effective  and  with  a
date of rank of 1 January 2002.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAC states that the documents submitted  by  the  applicant  indicate
the applicant’s Control Air Force Specialty Code (CAFSC)  went  from  43113C
to 43133C and since there was no  5-skill  level  for  this  suffix  he  was
entered into skill level upgrade in AFSC 43153D.  On 31 October  1988,  AFSC
43153D was deleted from the enlisted classification structure and  converted
to  AFSC  45752D.   Subsequently,  because  his  AFSC  had  apparently  been
converted to the wrong AFSC (45552A) after the October 1998 conversion,  the
Mission Support Squadron prepared an AF Form 2096 to correct his CAFSC  from
45552A to 45752D.  DPPAC advises that on 17 January 1991, the applicant  was
awarded CAFSC 45732A (source document not  available).   Then  effective  21
January 1992, his CAFSC changed  from  45732A  to  45752A.   The  AFPC/DPPAC
evaluation is at Exhibit B.

AFPC/DPPPWB recommends the application be denied.  DPPPWB states that  based
on the applicant’s date of rank of 7 February 1989,  to  senior  airman,  he
was not eligible for testing  and  promotion  consideration  to  SSgt  until
cycle 90B5  (promotion  effective  February  1990  -  July  1990).   He  was
considered in AFSC 455X2A for cycles 90B5 and 91A5.  However,  according  to
AF Form 2096 dated 17  September  1990,  his  AFSC  was  changed  to  45752D
effective  February  1989.   AFPC/DPPPWB  advises  the  applicant  was  then
considered in AFSC 457X2D during cycle 91B5.  AF Form 2096 dated 17  January
1991 reflects his AFSC was  changed  from  45752D  to  45732A  effective  15
January 1991.  Since the  effective  date  of  this  change  was  after  the
promotion eligibility cutoff date  for  cycle  91B5  (30  Sep  90),  he  was
correctly considered for promotion in AFSC 457X2D during  that  cycle.   The
applicant was correctly considered in AFSC 45732A for cycles 92A5 and  92B5.
 Since the applicant has test scores on file  for  AFSC  45752D  from  cycle
91B5, those scores would be applied  retroactively  to  the  other  weighted
factors for cycles 90B5 and  91A5.   DPPPWB  advises  that  the  applicant’s
total scores for cycles 90B5 and 91A5 would then be compared to  the  cutoff
score required for selection in AFSC 457X2D.   His  total  score  for  cycle
90B5 would be 270.11 and the score required for  selection  in  AFSC  457X2D
was 296.01.  His total score for cycle 91A5 would be 258.22  and  the  score
required  for  selection  in  AFSC  457X2D  was  293.11.   The   AFPC/DPPPWB
evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 5 August 2005, a copy of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  was  sent  to  the
applicant for review and comment.  As of this  date,  this  office  has  not
received a response.
_________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.   The  applicant  has  requested  he  be
given any promotions due to him associated with the correction  of  his  Air
Force Specialty Code  (AFSC).   As  noted  by  the  Enlisted  Promotion  and
Military Testing Branch office, the applicant was considered in the  correct
AFSC for cycles 91B5, 92A5 and 92B5; however, he was incorrectly  considered
in AFSC 455X2A for cycles 90B5 and 91A5.  Since  the  test  scores  on  file
would be applied retroactively to the 90B5 and 91A5 cycles, the  applicant’s
total scores for these cycles render him a nonselect.   In  the  absence  of
evidence to the contrary, we agree with the  assessment  by  the  Air  Force
office of primary responsibility and find no basis  on  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.
