RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-02663
INDEX CODE: 111.02
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 27 Febuary 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be accredited with 28 semester hours effective upon his entry into the
Air Force on 25 March 1993 for advanced enlistment grade entitlement. If
approved, he receive retroactive pay and any other entitlements in regard
to pay and rank as a result of the correction.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should receive a waiver to include his college credits from Christian
Life College due to the hard work and time he spent to earn them and the
fact that the college eventually became accredited in 1997.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement, a
copy of his original request on 8 July 1993, and copies of his academic
record. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the military personnel data system, the applicant is currently
serving on active duty in the grade of staff sergeant with a date of rank
of 1 October 2000 and a Total Active Federal Military Service Date of 25
March 1993. His projected date of separation is 7 January 2008.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPPAE recommends denial. DPPAE states the applicant initially
submitted a request for grade correction on 21 June 1993. On or about 21
June 2005, the applicant sent an e-mail inquiry following up on his
request, stating he had never heard from his original request. The Board
advised the applicant his initial request had been administratively closed
because they had not received his college transcripts after three months.
The applicant forwarded the requested transcripts to DPPAE on or about 15
July 2005. DPPAEQ replied that he did not have enough completed semester
credits for grade correction due to Christian Life College not being an
accredited institution at the time of discovery, nor within three years of
discovery. The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states that while the procedures are correct for advancement
in grade for all Air Force members, he should receive a waiver for the one
year between the three years from discovery (1996) and when Christian Life
College became accredited (1997). Had this college never become
accredited, he would understand it being a closed case. The applicant’s
rebuttal is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 requests his college
credits earned at Christian Life College should be counted towards his
grade advancement. We note that this college was not an accredited college
in 1993, at the time of his entry into the Air Force and was not an
accredited institution until 1997. We find no evidence of error in this
case and after thoroughly reviewing the documentation that has been
submitted in support of the applicant's appeal, we do not believe he has
suffered from an injustice. Therefore, based on the available evidence of
record, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling 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.
