RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01625
INDEX CODE: 112.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 25 NOVEMBER 2007
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His term of enlistment (TOE) be changed from six (6) to four (4) years.
His date of separation (DOS) be changed from 22 June 2010 to 22
June 2008.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His recruiter told him that he had enough college credits to enlist in
the grade of E-3 with a four-year TOE.
Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) informed him that in order
to get E-3 he had to sign for six years. While in BMT, the personnel
office did a review of his records and confirmed what his recruiter had
told him that he had enough college credits to receive E-3 without
signing for six years.
In support of his request, applicant provided copies of his enlistment
papers and his college transcripts.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22 Jun 04, for a period
of six years, as an E-3, in the 3P031, Security Forces Apprentice,
career field.
Applicant signed and initialed AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment
Agreement – United States Air Force, in which he acknowledged the fact
that he would serve six years.
On 23 Jun 06, AFPC/DPPAES informed the applicant that additional
documentation was needed to properly evaluate his case. They asked the
applicant to contact his university and have them forward his original
college transcripts to their office. They needed to verify his college
credits to determine his eligibility to E-3 versus his current term of
enlistment of six years which entitles him to the advanced grade of E-3.
As of this date he has not responded.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. The applicant voluntarily signed the
contract for a six-year TOE. The AF Form 3008 clearly spelled out the
terms of the enlistment and the applicant accepted those terms. The
member’s first contract stated he would enlist for six years at the
grade of E-2 so regardless of what rank the member held, it appears his
initial intention was to enlist for six years. Additionally, as a six-
year enlistee he was promoted to the grade of E-3 upon completion of
technical training. Going to a four-year TOE may result in a possible
debt to the Air Force, current rank adjustment/loss and loss of any
projected pay/promotion increases.
The DPPAE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 4 Aug 06, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response.
___________________________________________________________________
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
documentation provided, we find no evidence which would persuade us to
override the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility. Therefore, we adopt its rationale as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. In addition, AFPC asked the applicant to provide an
official college transcript in order to determine his entitlement to the
advanced grade of E-3, based on college credit. To date, the applicant
has not responded. In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to favorably
consider his request.
___________________________________________________________________
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.

After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the applicant should be given the relief requested.
