INDEX CODE: 112.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 02 February 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her enlisted grade be adjusted to the grade of E-2 on her date of
enlistment, 3 November 2004.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Miscommunication between the recruiter/recruit. She believes she told
him about her college credits and was being disregarded about it.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a Credential Evaluation
Report.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
In 1995, the applicant attended World Education Services (WES), Inc.,
in the country of Bolivia and on 15 September 2005, she earned 12.5 US
Semester Credits.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/RSS states that based on the information they have reviewed, they
do not find there is sufficient evidence to award the applicant her
request to adjust her enlistment grade.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 28 October 2005, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D).
Applicant reviewed the evaluation and provided a transcript from the
Northern Virginia Community College.
Applicant's complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.
On 2 December 2005, an assessment of the applicant’s entire case file
based on the additional document provided was requested (Exhibit F).
_________________________________________________________________
ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/RSS states that based on the information they have reviewed, they
still do not find there is sufficient evidence to award the applicant
her request to adjust her enlistment grade.
A copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit G.
_______________________________________________________________
ADDITIONAL APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 February 2006, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit H).
Applicant states, she considers fair any decision to be made about her
case. The reason of this letter is to explain the real basis on which
she applied for correction. She does have 25 semester credits from
her university back in Bolivia. The problem started when she sent the
transcripts for US evaluation. To her surprise they validated only
12.5. She was under the impression that x semester credits were equal
at any part in the world; but she guesses she was wrong. She enclosed
a copy of her transcripts, translated through a recognized US
institution for the Board, to see what she is referring to. Again, it
was not her intent to waste any valuable Air Force time. The decision
will be truly honored in her heart.
A copy of the applicant’s response, with attachments, is at Exhibit I.
_________________________________________________________________
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. 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.
