AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02651
INDEX CODE: 126.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 MAR 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect his prior aircraft qualifications
and flying hours from his Army service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes it is in the best interest of the Air Force to have a
correct record of his qualifications and flying hours from his Army
service in the event additional pilots are needed.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of Flight Hour
Records Summary, Training Certificates, and excerpts from his
Individual Flight Record.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was a former Army rated pilot who logged 832.4 hours of
flight time in several models of Army helicopters between 1986 and
1993. He entered the Air Force in June 1998, as a Diagnostic
Radiologist following a period of separation from service.
He is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of
major.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AF/A3OT recommends denial. A3OT states in part, IAW AFI 11-402,
Aviation and Parachutist Service, Aeronautical Ratings and Badges, an
officer that completed flying training conducted by another US
military service, must apply for the basic USAF rating via an
Aeronautical Rating Board (ARB), and must be assigned to an
operational flying position within one year for award of a USAF
rating. Since the applicant has not been awarded a USAF aeronautical
rating, he is not part of the USAF rated aircrew inventory and is not
managed as a USAF aircrew member.
The AF/A3OT 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 to warrant granting the relief
sought in this application. In this respect we note, officers must
apply for the basic Air Force Aeronautical rating via an ARB, and must
be assigned to an operational flying position within one year for
award of an Air Force rating. No evidence has been presented to show
the applicant applied to the ARB or was awarded an Air Force
aeronautical rating. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the 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. In view of the foregoing,
and in the absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling 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.

Based on a review of the facts, we agree she should have met an FEB after her elimination from FWQ training as an FEB would be the only correct action to evaluate retention in (or removal from) training, and qualification for continued aviation service.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit B. Although the applicant states that he has accumulated over 1,200 USN flight hours, his logbook reflects a total of 1146.8 hours of accumulated pilot time. In view of the above, we find the applicant has provided substantial evidence to warrant partially correcting the record to add his USN pilot time to ARMS.

Because the findings and recommendations of his FEB supported his return to aviation service, he believes the decision to permanently disqualify him from aviation service by the final approval authority, , was either improperly influenced by immunized information in the safety investigation or simply arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable. After completing action under paragraph 3.7.1.6, convene an FEB if the member's potential for continued aviation service is still in question. On 18...
