AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02586
INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 28 February 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect the rank of staff sergeant
(SSgt) versus airman first class (A1C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was a SSgt when he was discharged.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a personal statement and a
copy of his DD Form 214.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 Nov 73. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of A1C on 16 Nov 74. While
serving in the grade of A1C, he was released from active duty on 11
Jul 75. He served 1 year, 7 months and 26 days on active duty. He
transferred to the Air National Guard on 12 Jul 75. He was promoted
to sergeant (Sgt) on 1 Feb 76 and SSgt on 1 Dec 77. He was then
reduced to the grade of airman before being discharged for
unsuitability-inaptitude on 12 Jan 79.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial. DPPPWB states that the applicant did
not hold the rank of SSgt while serving in the regular Air Force; only
as a member of the Air National Guard (ANG). Furthermore, he would
not have had sufficient time in grade (TIG) or time in service (TIS)
to have been promoted to the grades of Sgt(E-4) or SSgt (E-5). He
only served 1 year, 7 months and 26 days on active duty. They note,
to be eligible for promotion to the grade of Sgt at the time in
question, airmen must have a 3-skill level, 8 months TIG, and one year
TIS. To be eligible for promotion consideration to the grade of SSgt
at the time in question, airmen must have a 5-skill level, 12 months
TIG as a Sgt, and three years TIS. However, based on the applicant’s
date of rank (DOR) to A1C (16 Nov 74), he would not have had the
sufficient TIG for promotion to SSgt until 16 Jul 75, five days after
his discharge.
A complete copy of the 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
28 Sep 06 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 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
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the 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
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.

Since the applicant was in confinement until 7 May 2003, he was not eligible for promotion to airman until 8 May 2003 (6 months’ TIG) and was eligible for promotion to A1C on 8 March 2004 (10 months’ TIG). We note that in his current grade of airman first class, he reaches his Expiration Term of Service on 8 December 2004 and must separate.
