AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00693
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
be changed to show her name as “Catherine”, and her NGB Form 22,
Report of Separation and Record of Service, be changed in block 8a,
Station or Installation at Which Affected, as well as block 15 to show
the honor graduate status she earned while attending Basic Military
Training (BMT).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The correct spelling of her middle name is “Catherine” and she would
like for her DD Form 214 to reflect such. She was an honor graduate
from Basic Military Training (BMT) and would like for this to be shown
on her NGB Form 22.
In support of her appeal, the applicant has provided copies of her DD
Form 214, DD Form 215, NGB Form 22, and several certificates.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 December 1978. She
was separated from the Air Force on 15 August 1980 after almost two
years of service. She was an airman first class at the time she was
separated when she enlisted with the Massachusetts Air National Guard
(MAANG) on 5 November 1988 and was eventually promoted to the grade of
senior airman. On 5 April 1991, she was honorably discharged in
accordance with ANG Regulation (ANGR) 39-10, Resignation for Own
Convenience. She had served a total of 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days
for pay.
_________________________________________________________________
Examiner’s Note: The misspelling of her middle name on her DD Form
214, has been administratively corrected. We are not certain exactly
what she wants to change on her NGB Form 22, block 8a. She was
discharged from Otis ANGB making the entry in block 8a appear to be
correct. ANG Instruction (ANGI) 36-3201, Air National Guard
Separations Documents, paragraph 1.3.2.9, states in-service training
courses successfully completed and greater than 40 hours in duration,
may be listed on the NGB Form 22, box 12. There is no provision for
documenting whether or not the student was an honor student.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
None provided.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has not 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; and
noted she was awarded the BMT Honor Graduate ribbon. Unfortunately,
ANGI 36-3201 does not allow placement of the term honor graduate in
Box 12 of the NGB Form 22. However, the term BMT Honor Graduate
ribbon may be placed in Block 15 of the NGB Form 22. She can visit
any Military Personnel Flight to present the evidence included in this
application and have the term included on her NGB Form 22 as mentioned
above. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record we find
no basis upon which to favorably consider her request to include the
term honor graduate in Block 12 of her NGB Form 22.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

As such, the applicant failed to meet the retainability requirements for promotion to the grade of master sergeant. While the applicant argues that her case turns to the purported failure of NGB/HR to process her request for an extension her enlistment, we do not find her arguments or the documentation presented sufficient to conclude that her request for an extension was not appropriately handled when it was apparently returned without action to the recommending official for further...

After reviewing the evidence of record, we believe that the applicant's enlistment in the Air National Guard in the grade of Airman Basic was in accordance with ANGI 36-2002. However, in view of the fact that the applicant accrued over 30 quarter hours of college credits by the time she graduated from high school in June 2002, we believe she should be entitled to the benefit of this achievement.

As a result of her erroneous DOS, she was prematurely considered by the CY10 NGB STFM Board which directed her release from EAD, effective 27 Jan 10. The recommended active duty time required for a master sergeant (E-7) to be granted career status is at least eight years; however, the applicant had only attained three years of total active service at the time of her selection. Nonetheless, we believe the commander’s decision to establish the applicant’s DOS as 27 Jan 10 was reasonable in...
