AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02761
INDEX CODE: 112.02
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: - Mar 17, 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her rank upon accession be corrected to reflect E-3 rather than E-2.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When she enlisted on active duty on 25 Oct 02 she should have enlisted as
an E-3 rather than an E-2 since she had 1 year and 1 month of active duty
time.
In support of her request, the applicant provided a copy of her enlistment
contract and a statement of service.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Guam Air National Guard on 23 Aug 00 and
was discharged on 15 Nov 01. She served 1 year and 1 month active service.
The applicant entered active duty Regular Air Force (RegAF) on 25 Oct 02
as an E-2.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAES recommends denial. The applicant was classified as a non-prior
service enlistee and did not have 24 months or more total active federal
military service (TAFMS) required for the rank of E-3 upon her accession.
DPPAES states that according to AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of
Rank (DOR), section B, paragraph 8.1, “Airmen in the following categories
receive a DOR equal to their date of enlistment in the RegAF: Non-prior
service enlistees (members who have less than 24 months total active
federal service).” Furthermore, section B, paragraph 8.2 states, “if
enlistment grade was not held in a regular component, DOR will be equal to
the date of enlistment.” Denial recommendation is based on the fact that
the applicant did not have the required time to adjust the DOR. She only
had 1 year and 1 month TAFMS.
Examiner’s Note: DOR establishes the starting point for computing
promotion eligibility. The applicant’s DOR was computed based on prior
active service and the governing instruction, AFI 36-2604.
The AFPC/DPPAES complete evaluation, with attachments is at Exhibit C.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 20 Oct
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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of the
applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we are not
persuaded that a favorable consideration of the applicant’s request is
appropriate. The evidence of record indicates the applicant accumulated 1
year and 1 month TAFMS through her service in the Air National Guard and
did not accumulate the required 24 months TAFMS required to enlist in the
Regular Air Force in the grade of E-3. Therefore, we find no basis to
grant the requested relief sought by the applicant. Accordingly, the
applicant’s request is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of probable 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.
