RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-00648
INDEX CODE:102.07
xxxxxxxxxxxxx COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 SEPTEMBER 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her date of rank (DOR) be adjusted to reflect 1 November 2005 versus 1
January 2007.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of her discharge from active duty, a code was entered against
her records to reflect her declination to test for staff sergeant while on
active duty. This code prevented her from being included on the Reserve
promotion eligibility rosters.
In support of her request, applicant provides a copy of her email
communication regarding her promotion and a copy of her Reserve promotion
order. Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 10 May 2005, the applicant was transferred to the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of airman first class (E-4) for completion of her service
obligation. She has continued to participate and has been progressively
promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5) with a date of rank and
effective date of 1 January 2007. As of the Reserve Year Ending (RYE) 5
May 2006, she was credited with 7 years of satisfactory Federal service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPB supports a 1 January 2006 correction to her DOR and effective
date. DPB advises previous Reserve promotions only occurred in odd months,
therefore, her first opportunity to be recommended by her supervisor,
commander and program manager would have been for 1 January 2006
promotions. The applicant provided no documentation from either her
supervisor or program manager to indicate any recommendation for promotion
prior to 1 January 2007. However, documentation provided does show the
commander supports the applicant’s promotion.
The ARPC/DPB complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 4 May 2007, 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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. We have noted the Air Force office of
primary responsibility has indicated they support a 1 January 2006
correction to the applicant’s DOR. Additionally, documentation provided by
the applicant does show that through no fault of her own, she was left off
eligibility rosters based on an erroneous code carried over from active
duty. Therefore, in view of the foregoing, and in an effort to offset any
possibility of an injustice, we agree with the recommendation of the office
of primary responsibility to allow the applicant’s date of rank to be
adjusted to reflect a date of rank of 1 January 2006.
4. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issue involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was promoted to the grade of
staff sergeant, Air Force Reserve, with a date of rank (DOR) and effective
date of 1 January 2006, rather than 1 January 2007.

Officers who meet SSBs based on errors in their records or for boards they miss, if selected by the SSB, will receive a DOR retroactive to the date they would have been promoted had they been selected by the original board.
