RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00792
INDEX NUMBER: 131.00
XXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: Yes
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 15 Sep 07
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be administratively promoted to the grade of Chief Master Sergeant
(CMSgt).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was promoted to MSgt on 23 Dec 51 and retired in that grade on 30
Apr 70. He believes he was not promoted any higher because he exerted
political influence to get assistance in getting an assignment to
Japan where his future wife resided.
He was never promoted beyond the grade of MSgt as punishment for
getting assistance from his Congressman. He would like to be
recognized for his years of service.
In support of his appeal, applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214,
the citation for an Air Force Commendation Medal, and a citation for
the Bronze Star Medal.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant served total combined Army and Air Force service of 26
years 6 months, and 28 days active service and was retired in the
grade of MSgt effective 1 May 70. He was promoted to the grade of
MSgt effective 23 Dec 51.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial of the applicant’s request. They
provide a summary of how the promotion process worked during the time
the applicant served. DPPPWB notes there is nothing in the
applicant’s record to show he was ever promoted to a grade higher than
MSgt. They cannot verify whether the applicant was ever considered
for promotion to the grade of Senior Master Sergeant since promotion
files are only maintained for a period of ten years. DPPPWB also
notes that there is nothing in the applicant’s records indicating an
error or injustice occurred that prevented the applicant’s promotion.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
14 Apr 06 for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response
has not been received.
_________________________________________________________________
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
office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis
for our 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 compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

MSgt K---, a member of his AFS (4Y0X0), was attending the First Sergeant Academy and her record was scored in the 4Y0X0 career field. Each individual's record was corrected, they were provided supplemental promotion consideration, and not selected for promotion in the 8F000 CAFSC. Therefore, the CAFSC effective date would be the date assigned duty--11 Nov 04.
