RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02614
INDEX CODE: 112.02
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 MARCH 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date of rank (DOR) and current rank be adjusted.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Dallas Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) documented his
DOR as the day he was sworn into active duty and reduced him in rank.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a personal letter,
Reserve Order A-187 discharging him from the United States Air Force
Reserve (USAFR), Special Order 610903 ordering him to active duty, and
promotion information obtained from AFPC’s web site.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Data extracted from the personnel data system and his DD Form 215,
Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty reflects the applicant served in the Air Force Reserves
from 7 September 2004 to 9 March 2005. On 19 April 2006, he enlisted
on active duty in the grade of airman (E-2). He is currently assigned
as a Vehicle and Vehicular equipment maintenance operator in the 90th
Logistics Readiness Squadron at FE Warren AFB Wyoming.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAES recommends the applicant’s request be denied. DPPAES
states AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank, paragraph 8
explains DOR for active service. It states if the enlistment grade
was not held in a regular component, the DOR will be equal to his date
of enlistment. Even though the applicant served in the Reserves in
the grade of Airman First Class (E-3), this grade was not held in a
regular component, therefore he is not entitled to maintain the grade
of E3. In addition, if the applicant feels he should be promoted to a
higher grade based on college credits, he should mail copies of his
original transcripts to verify if he is eligible.
The DPPAES evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
22 September 2006, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office. (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 error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded the relief requested
should be granted. We took notice of the 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, absent
persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis upon
which to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
