RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-03032
INDEX CODE: 111.01
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty be
changed to reflect his Primary Air Force Specialty Code (PAFSC) as 64590,
Inventory Management Superintendent.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
A master sergeant (MSgt) in the 645XO career field was considered qualified
to be a nine-level superintendent after six months time in grade. The
supervisor was responsible for ensuring the actions required for awarding
the higher skill level were initiated. His supervisor at that time was a
retired technical sergeant (TSgt) employed as a civil servant and was
unaware of the procedures because he was never promoted to the grade of
MSgt.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his DD Form
214.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 23 August 1971 as an
Inventory Management Specialist.
He was promoted to the grade of MSgt having assumed that grade effective
and with a date of rank of 1 January 1991.
On 5 April 1993, he was retired in the grade of MSgt with a permanently
disability.
Block 11, Primary Specialty, of his DD Form 214, reflects he served 21
years, 7 months and 13 days on active duty with a PAFSC of 64570, Inventory
Management Supervisor.
Block 14, Military Education, of his DD Form 214, reflects he completed the
Noncommissioned Officer Leadership School in September 1983 and the
Supervisory Development Course in July 1976.
AFM 35-1, Military Personnel Classification Policy Manual (Officers,
Warrant Officers, Airmen), dated 27 September 1990, states the requirements
for award of the 9-skill level to a MSgt are completion of the Senior NCO
Academy, a recommendation by the supervisor and meeting the mandatory
requirements contained in AFR 39-1, Airman Classification.
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDC recommends denial. DPSIDC states based on the performance
reports available in the applicant’s record they were able to determine he
was awarded AFSC 64570, Inventory Management Supervisor. However, he did
not provide any documentation in support of his request, other than to
acknowledge his supervisor may not have completed the actions required to
award him the next higher skill level. Consequently, in the absence of a
source document, such as an AF Form 2096, Classification or on the Job
Training Action, DPSIDC cannot support corrective action because they
cannot confirm he met all the requirements necessary for award of the
specialty at a the higher skill level. DPSIDC discovered the AFSC he is
requesting, 64590, Inventory Management Superintendent, was deleted on 30
April 1976 and changed to 64592. Subsequently, AFSC 64592, Supply
Management Superintendent, was deleted on 31 October 1980 and changed to
64599, Supply Management Superintendent. DPSIDC recommends denial because
neither the documentation he provided nor the documentation available in
his record supports his request.
The complete DPSIDC evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 21
November 2008 for review and response within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has 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 an error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, after reviewing the evidence of record, we are not
persuaded he meets the requirements for award of the 9-skill level. We
note there are no documents in his military personnel record awarding him
AFSC 64590, nor are there documents indicating he met the requirements for
award of the 9-skill level, in particular, a recommendation by his
supervisor and evidence showing completion of the Senior NCO Academy.
Therefore, 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. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an 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.
