APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the grade of senior airman (E-4) with a date
of rank (DOR) and promotion effective date of 30 Jul 10.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of his enlistment, he was advised that he would be
enlisting as an E-3 (airman first class) under the Stripes for
Unit Bonus Skills. He enlisted in the 3A0X1 (Administration
career field) which was on the bonus listing at that time;
however, the conversion of the 3A0X1 career field into the 3D0X1
career field was beginning and his recruiter was unaware if the
bonus was authorized.
He was notified by the Wing Career Advisor that at the time of
his enlistment, the bonus was authorized.
He contacted his recruiter who now states it was an oversight on
his part for not giving him the proper credit.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
enlistment documents.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The available records reflect the applicant enlisted in the Air
Force Reserve on 23 Jul 09 in the grade of E-1 (airman basic).
The applicants enlistment documents reflect the applicant had
no prior service, attended high school for two years, and
received a General Education Diploma.

HQ AFRC/A1K recommends denial. A1K states the applicant has
failed to provide any supporting documentation that
substantiates he was eligible and should have been enlisted as
an E-3 upon his entry into the Air Force Reserve.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 7 Jan 11 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. 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 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.
