RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01403
INDEX CODE: 110.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reinstated in the Active Duty Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His completion of the Weather Observer Course exempted him from
attending the Combat Weather Team Office Course at Keesler AFB, MS.
He requests that the Board take into consideration his other completed
courses (Army Basic Airborne Course, Combat Survival Course and Water
Survival Course). He believes that had these courses been in his
record the Force Shaping Board (FSB) would not have forced him out of
the Air Force.
In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided copies of his DD
Form 214’s, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant began his military career by enlisting on 16 April 1993. He
was appointed in the US Air Force on 31 October 2003. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of 1Lt with a date of rank of 31
October 2005. He received an honorable discharge and was released
from the Regular Air Force on 3 November 2006 under a Reduction in
Force (RIF). He was appointed in the Tennessee Air National Guard
(TNANG) on 3 December 2006. He has since served with the TNANG and
has over 8 years of satisfactory service for Reserve retirement at age
60.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial. There is no official Air Force vehicle
with which he could have documented his attendance in the courses
indicated. Therefore, if he believed these courses were important in
the selection process, he could have written a letter to the board
members informing them of the accomplishments prior to convening of
the board. DPPPO has verified the applicant did not exercise this
option. A material error did not exist in his record when it met the
FSB.
DPPPO’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He was at a decided disadvantage in finding out what his options were
regarding Force Shaping as he was stationed four hours away from his
servicing Military Personnel Flight (MPF) at a Geographically
Separated Unit (GSU). He had been told by his commander he would be
given special consideration during the force shaping process. With
airborne parachuting and survival training, he believes maybe five
percent of weather officers could complete the training that he did.
He was not aware he could have requested special consideration by a
supplemental board (convened 12 March 2007) as he was training for the
advanced special tactics pipeline. He contends special weather
operations teams are already stretched thin due to deployments and he
has always been willing to deploy. Force shaping a volunteer for
combat zone deployments makes no sense to him.
Applicant’s complete response, with attachment, is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
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 issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
