AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01558
INDEX CODE: 112.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE: 22 NOVEMBER 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her entry rank of E-2 be corrected to E-3 with an effective date of 15 June
2005, and her current rank of E-3 be corrected to E-4 with an effective
date of 15 December 2005.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her rank should have been E-3 when she reenlisted in the US Air Force
Reserves (USAFR) on 15 June 2005 because of her higher level of education.
In support of the application, she submits her reserve order, her education
data, page 4/1 of her enlistment/reenlistment form, her notification of
assignment letter, and her university transcripts.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s military personnel records were not provided. The
Military Personnel Database (MilPDS) indicates the applicant is a member
of the Air Force Reserve currently serving in the grade of airman first
class (E-3) with a date of rank of 15 Dec 2005.
According to information provided by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility, the applicant was honorably discharged from the Regular
Air Force in the grade of airman (E-2) on 16 May 1988. She had served 9
months on active duty service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFRC/RSOO recommends denial. RSOO states the prior service program
applies to applicants who have 84 days or more of active duty in a regular
or reserve component of the United States Armed Forces and have completed
an approved basic military training course. RSOO notes the recruiter that
processed the applicant accessed her based on the documents she provided at
the time of enlistment as a prior service applicant. According to AFRCI 36-
2001, if an applicant last served in enlisted status with any United States
Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) then enlistment grade authorized is
permanent enlistment grade held at time of latest discharge. RSOO notes
she was processed as a Prior Service applicant, active duty Air Force from
15 September 1987 to 16 May 1988, rank at time of separation, E-2, Re Code:
3A, SPN/SPN: MDF, Character of Service: Honorable.
RSOO states the applicant’s education was not a factor in her USAFR
processing; however, had she been a non-prior service applicant and
provided an official college transcript showing she had satisfactorily
completed 45 semester hours or 67 quarter hours of college then she would
have been processed under accession standards of AFRCI 36-2001, enlistment
grade authorized, E-3 and the date of rank being date of enlistment. RSOO
concludes the applicant’s rank cannot be changed because of level of
education.
The Air Force 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 9 June
2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
evidence presented, it appears that in accordance with governing
directives, the Reserve recruiting processing representative took
appropriate action in executing the applicant’s enlistment grade based on
her prior service time. Therefore, 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 an injustice and 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.

He states that at the time he was considered for promotion to MSgt, he had more than 12 months left until retirement. Counsel opines that based on the stipulations in AFI 36-2502 and AFRC 36-2102, the Air Force could have, and should have, granted the applicant the promotion to master sergeant (MSgt). The waiver was denied because the applicant would have only been able to perform duty as a MSgt for 10 months before reaching his mandatory retirement at High Year of Tenure Date of 20 Mar 07.

On the date of enlistment, the applicant did not have enough college credits to qualify for a higher enlistment grade. At this time, Recruiting Operations initiated an inquiry into his enlistment processing. AFRCI 36-2001, Air Force Reserve Recruiting Procedures, Table 5-1, Note 5 states: Documents presented after enlistment may be used as a basis for changing the authorized enlistment grade up until the individual’s Basic Military Training graduation date.
