RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01080
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date of rank (DOR) to staff sergeant (SSgt) be changed from
1 January 1969 to 20 July 1967 and he receive back pay.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, reflected his DOR for SSgt as 20 July
1967. He has two special orders with conflicting information.
His DOR should be 20 July 1967.
During a deployment to Pueblo, he was told he should be wearing
SSgt stripes.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
special orders and his DD Forms 214.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in Air Force Reserve on 26 January 1968
and was progressively promoted to the grade of SSgt, having
assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 1 January
1969.
Special Order A-5, dated 1 January 1969, indicates the applicant
was promoted to the grade of SSgt, effective 1 January 1968, with
a DOR of 1 January 1969. Special Order A-24, dated 6 January
1969, amended Special Order A-5 to change his effective date to
1 January 1969. His DD Form 214 reflects his DOR to SSgt as
20 July 1967
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/A1K recommends denial. A1K states the applicants DD Form
214 and the source documentation should match; however, based on
the source documentation, it is reasonable to conclude the
applicants DD Form 214 is in error and not the source
documentation. The applicants special orders reflect the
applicants DOR as 1 January 1969.
The complete A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states there must be a source document somewhere in
order for his DD Form 214 to reflect he was promoted to SSgt in
1967. He performed duties as assigned and should be compensated
for the time he was activated as a SSgt.
His DD Form 214 is a true record of his military service. He
respectfully request the Board abide by the DOR reflected on the
DD Form 214, with compensation accordingly.
The applicants complete response is at 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 error or injustice that would
warrant corrective action. After a thorough review of the
available evidence and the applicants complete submission, we
find no evidence which would lead us to believe the applicant's
date of rank (DOR) should be corrected to show he was promoted to
the grade of staff sergeant effective 20 July 1967. While the
applicant believes his DOR should be changed to match his DD Form
214 and that he should be compensated accordingly, we do not find
the evidence presented sufficiently persuasive to override the
rationale provided by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility (OPR). Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its rationale as
the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. Absent persuasive evidence that
he was denied rights to which he was entitled, we find no 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.
