RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03144
INDEX CODE: 131.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her record be corrected to show credit for 14 days of military service
since her date of rank (DOR) was two weeks into her active duty
career.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
After her commissioning on 8 May 2005, her extended active duty (EAD)
date was 15 May 2005. She arrived at Eglin AFB and began work on 17
May 2005. According to Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2604, her DOR
is considered to be 1 June 2005. Consequently, she has not received
credit for the 14 days of service she provided prior to the assignment
of her 1 June 2005 DOR. She feels hers is an unusual case as she
entered active duty almost immediately after graduating from AF
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and before the first of June.
In support of her appeal, the applicant has provided copies of
personnel information, orders, and an excerpt from AFI 36-2604.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was commissioned on 8 May 2005 and began EAD on 15 May 2005.
She has served for almost two years and is currently serving in the
USAF as a second lieutenant (2Lt.).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAOR recommends denial. According to Title 10, Section 2107,
paragraph (e), the DOR of officers appointed under this section in May-
May, May-June, or June-June of any year, is the date of graduation.
The Secretary of the military department concerned shall establish the
DOR of all other officers appointed under this section. The DOR of
the Academy class for 2005 was 1 June 2005. Her DOR is therefore
correct.
DPPAOR’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
13 April 2007 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
no response has been received by this office.
Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the Air Force office of primary responsibility
that it appears her DOR was appropriately determined in accordance
with the law and adopt its rationale as the basis for our 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
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.

Panel Chair
Upon entering active duty, the applicant’s date of rank was established in accordance with AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank, para 7.5.1. In this regard, the Air Force states that had the applicant entered active duty from civilian status some of her professional experience would have been used in computing her date of rank. The Board is of the opinion that the applicant’s date of rank was computed in accordance with existing regulations.

_________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her DOR is incorrect based on her college graduation date of 17 May 2003 and her commissioning date of 7 June 2003. DPPAOR states the initial DOR is computed by crediting ½ day for each day that the officer performed active-but not active duty-commissioned service in the grade in which he or she entered the active duty list. Therefore, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force...

AFI 36-2604 states, “Former AFROTC cadets ordered to EAD under Title 10, USC., 2105 and 2107, keep the date of rank specified on their reserve enlistment contract.” It implies that former AFROTC cadets did not have a previous DOR.
