RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01005
INDEX CODE: 115.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 5 OCT 2007
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reinstated into Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) without re-
competing at the UPT selection board and if not, to be granted an
age waiver.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He competed and earned a pilot slot in the fall of 02 while
attending the US Air Force Academy. He was disqualified from
Flying Class I (FCI) duties on 23 Apr 04, after sustaining injuries
in a car accident. It took 29 months to recover and complete the
medical process for requalification. He returned to FCI status on
10 Mar 06. Re-competing at the Feb 07 UPT selection board will
force him over the age limit; his 30th birthday is 12 Oct 06. He
earned a pilot slot in 02 and respectfully request that a slot be
reinstated.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his
Aeromedical Summary, dated 16 Feb 06; Standard Form 88, Report of
Medical Examination, dated 6 Feb 06; a copy of AF Form 1042,
Medical Recommendation for Flying or Special Operational Duty,
dated 17 Mar 06, and a letter of recommendation and support from,
Director of Strategic Planning, dated 6 Jun 06.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was commissioned in the Regular Air Force and entered
extended active duty (EAD) on 28 May 03. He was progressively
promoted to the grade of first lieutenant with an effective date
and date of rank (DOR) of 28 May 05. He is current Duty Title is
Project Engineer GPS UE Sustainment, and his date of birth (DOB) is
12 Oct 76.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPAOT recommended denial with respect to reinstatement of
his pilot slot; however, they support granting an age waiver to
allow the applicant to compete for a pilot training slot on the
next available active duty selection board, tentatively scheduled
for Jan 07.
DPAOT consensus is that if an individual earned a pilot training
slot, is found medically disqualified and then medically re-
qualified within a 1 year period, every effort is expended to
provide administrative relief and return the pilot training slot.
In the applicant’s case, it has been in excess of that 1 year
window before he was medically certified for FC1 duties.
HQ AFPC/DPAOT complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
___________________________________________________________________
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. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration
of the evidence of record and that provided by the applicant, we
believe some form of relief is warranted. The applicant requests
that his pilot slot be reinstated. He contends that he competed
and earned a pilot slot in the fall of 02; however, he was
disqualified from FC1 duties, after sustaining injuries as a result
of a car accident. It appears that it took the applicant 29 months
to recover and complete the medical process for requalification.
Therefore, we agree with the recommendation of the Deputy,
Operations Assignments Division, that the applicant be granted an
age waiver and that he be allowed to compete for a pilot training
slot on the next available active duty selection board.
Accordingly, we recommend that his records be corrected to the
extent indicated below.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to allow him to compete for
Undergraduate Pilot Training at the next available board and, if
accepted, he be granted an age waiver.

When applying for the AFROTC Potential Pilot Qualified (PPQ)/Potential Navigator Qualified (PNQ) Categorization Board, HQ AETC received the wrong paperwork (Flying Class I (FCI)/Commissioning Physical instead of the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) physical) from AFROTC, which may have contributed to his nonselection for pilot training. If provided the chance to compete against his peers during the FY 06 primary selection board, he would have been selected...

_________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ AFPC/DPAO advises that, since the applicant was selected by his commission source for a pilot slot during FY03 and was subsequently medically disqualified, his pilot slot was awarded to another individual from the list of AFROTC eligibles. We believe the possibility exists that, had the ETP package been forwarded in a timely manner, the applicant may not have lost his FY03 UPT slot. PEGGY E....

AFPC/DPAO recommended denial of the applicant’s request the pilot training slot he was awarded at the Air Force Academy be reinstated; however, he should be allowed to compete for a pilot training slot at the next available selection board.

SGPS supports the applicant’s request to have his records corrected to show elimination based on a medical diagnoses rather than SIE. However, if the Board’s decision is to grant the applicant’s request, his record may be changed to show elimination from JSUNT as a medical disqualification. We note that HQ AETC/SGPS (Exhibit B) supports the applicant’s request for correction of his record and the opportunity for him to apply for Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) consideration.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. AFOATS/JA's complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPAO makes no recommendation regarding the pilot training slot as HQ AFROTC conducted that selection board and is outside the active duty process; however, they would recommend the applicant complete navigator training as she was assessed into the Air Force as a navigator. However, since commissioning, she has obtained waivers to correct her disqualifying...
