RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02938 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, Item 4a, Grade, Rate or Rank, be amended to reflect the 
grade of staff sergeant (SSgt) rather than senior airman (SrA) 
and item 4b, Pay Grade, be amended to reflect E5 rather than E4. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He believes he should have been separated as a SSgt since an 
amendment to his separation order, dated 14 November 2005, 
indicates item 20H amended to read “SSgt”. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides documents 
extracted from his military personnel records. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force 11 December 2001. 

 

On 10 December 2005, the applicant was honorably released from 
active duty in the grade of senior airman, effective and with a 
date of rank of 12 June 2004, under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Completion of Required Active Service and transferred to 
the Air Force Reserve. He served 4 years on active duty. 

 

AF Form 973, Request Authorization for Change of Administrative 
Orders, Item, 6, Remarks, reflects Item 20H as SSgt.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. DPSOE states the applicant was 
considered and tentatively selected for promotion to SSgt during 
cycle 05E5. He received PSN 10612.5 which would have incremented 
1 May 2006; however, the applicant separated from active duty 
effective 10 December 2005 (5 months prior to his pin-on date). 
In accordance with AFI 36-2502, Table 2.1, airmen must serve on 
continuous active duty until the effective date of promotion. 
Therefore, the applicant was separated in the correct rank of SrA 
and the amendment to the separation order, item 20H, is in error. 

 

The DPSOE complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 8 October 2010, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). 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. The applicant’s 
contentions are duly noted; however, after reviewing the evidence 
of record 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 the applicant has not been the 
victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.

    A suspended reduction to the rank of SSgt would have more appropriate for a first time offense. The reduction to the rank of Senior Airman (SrA, E-4) as a result of Nonjudicial Punishment (NJP), UCMJ was mitigated to a fine of $1,000. For example, if a member receives Article 15 punishment on 1 June, consisting of a reduction in grade, and the commander subsequently (on 1 July) mitigates the reduction to forfeiture, both the effective date and DOR for the restored grade is 1 July.
