RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03002 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Intermediate Developmental Education (IDE) credit be changed 
from “non-residence” to “residence.” 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She was selected to attend IDE in residence, part time. The 
invitation to attend the school stated that in order to receive 
in-residence credit she must complete a 2-year program at the 
Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and complete Air Command and 
Staff College – in correspondence was required. She completed 
the Air Command & Staff College (ACSC) on 1 Dec 05. 
Additionally, she attended the National Defense Intelligence 
College (NDIC) earning a Masters in Strategic Intelligence on 
24 Jul 09. When she asked the Air Reserve Personnel Center 
(ARPC) about the “in-residence” credit, they had no recollection 
that she would receive “in-residence” credit for this program due 
to it conflicting with their policy. ARPC could not find the 
original documentation regarding this issue. It was then 
elevated to AF/REP for adjudication. The following was provided 
by AF/REP: 

 

 “Air University will only accept the graduate roster from NDIC 
or a copy of the 475 training report as an official document to 
award in-residence credit; those documents are not prepared for 
blended/part-time courses. To date, A1D has not supported in-
residence credit for any distance learning or even blended 
opportunities…” 

 

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her 
In-Residence IDE package and a copy of her NDIC transcript. 

 

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 


 

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Air 
Force Reserve in the grade of lieutenant colonel (0-5). She 
attended the IDE at the NDIC part-time. The applicant was 
awarded her Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence degree on 
29 Jul 09. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denial. A1K consulted with AF/REPP and 
states that in order to award in-residence IDE credit, the 
applicant must provide the following: 

 

 a. AF Form 475, Training Report. 

 

 b. Graduate Roster from NDIC. 

 

Without the supporting documents, the Air Force Reserve Command 
cannot support granting in-resident credit. 

 

The AFRC/A1K complete evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant responded by providing a supporting document that 
verifies her enrollment to the NDIC that is signed by the 
Registration Team Lead. She provides the enrollment verification 
memorandum in place of the AF Form 475, because the form is not 
accomplished for in-residence part-time students. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, 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 timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. While we note 
the applicant’s contention that the notification and 
congratulatory letters that selected her for IDE in-residence, 
part-time, appear to suggest she would receive in-residence 
credit, it does not negate the fact that the school has never 
awarded part-time students attending the IDE course with full-time 


in-residence credit. We also note the applicant sought 
confirmation from the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC); 
however, they had no recollection or any supporting documentation 
of ever awarding in-residence credit for part-time students and 
stated it conflicted with their policy. Therefore, the Board 
majority agrees with the opinion and recommendation of the Air 
Force office of primary responsibility and adopts 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, the Board majority finds no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

A majority of the panel finds insufficient evidence of error or 
injustice and recommends the application be denied.
