RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01205 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to reflect his grade as senior airman (E-4) 
versus airman first class (E-3). 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

A clerical error was made on his discharge documents that reflect 
his rank as airman first class; however, he separated as a senior 
airman. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge from the Armed 
Forces of the United States. 

 

His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 17 Jan 90 and 
was progressively promoted to the grade of airman first class (E-
3), having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 
17 May 91. He received an honorable discharge on 11 Mar 93 after 
serving 3 years, 1 month, and 25 days on after duty. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. DPSOE states that they requested 
additional information from the applicant; however, he has not 
responded. The applicant’s official military records reflect he 
enlisted as an airman basic for a period of 4 years and should have 
been promoted to the ranks of airman on 17 Jul 90; airman first 
class on 17 May 91; and based on his date of rank to airman first 
class, he would have been time-in-grade/time-in-service eligible 
for promotion to senior airman on 17 Jan 93 IAW the governing 
regulation provided he had a “5” skill-level and his commander’s 
written recommendation. However, due to lack of official 
documentation in his records, DPSOE cannot support his request to 


correct his records to reflect he was discharged in the grade of 
senior airman. 

 

The DPSOE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 16 Jul 10 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 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. 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 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.
