THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/RSOO recommends denial, stating, in part, there is no 
record the applicant presented a qualifying educational 
transcript for promotion eligibility before shipping, or prior 
to BMT graduation as required. 

 

In accordance with (IAW), AFRCI 36-2001, Air Force Reserve 
Recruiting Procedures Table 5.1, Note 5: documents presented 
after enlistment may be used as a basis for changing the 


authorized enlistment grade up until the individual’s BMT 
graduation date. Recruiters will advise the applicant to obtain 
documents before enlistment. This policy allows an applicant 
who is in the process of completing additional college classes, 
etc that will qualify them for a higher grade, to have the 
opportunity to have their records updated to reflect the higher 
grade. 

 

The complete AFRC/RSOO evaluation is at Exhibit C.

(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. 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 Reserve 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. 

 

________________________________________________________________
