 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00762 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His grade of staff sergeant (SSgt/E-5) be reflected on his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, issued in conjunction with his placement on the Temporary 
Disability Retired List (TDRL) on 24 Jan 11. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was promoted to the grade of SSgt prior to his placement on 
the TDRL and the grade of SSgt should be reflected on his 
DD Form 214. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, issued 24 Jan 11. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was relieved from active duty, on 24 Jan 11, and 
placed on the TDRL, effective 25 Jan 11, with a compensable 
disability rating of 30 percent, in the grade of senior airman 
(SrA/E-4). He was credited with 7 years and 10 days of active 
service for retirement. 

 

On 6 April 2011, the applicant’s retirement grade was 
administratively corrected to staff sergeant (SSG). Special 
Order No. ACD-01795 was issued, revoking Special Order No. ACD-
00199, issued 26 Oct 10, effectively retiring the applicant in 
the grade of staff sergeant (SSgt). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 


AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial of the applicant's request to have 
his rank on the DD Form 214 corrected to reflect SSgt as he 
became ineligible for promotion and did not hold that grade 
prior to retirement. However, they recommend Special Order ACD-
00199, 26 Oct 10, be corrected to reflect the grade of SSgt 
versus SrA in accordance with AFI 36-3212, PHYSICAL EVALUATION 
FOR RETENTION, RETIREMENT, AND SEPARATION para 5.15.4. 

 

In accordance with AFI 36-3212, paragraph 5.15.4., members who 
are retired on or after 23 Sep 96 may be retired in the regular 
or reserve grade to which they had been selected and would have 
been promoted had it not been for the physical disability for 
which they were retired. This is for retirement and pay 
purposes only. The DD Form 214 reflects the grade the member 
held at time of separation/retirement. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOE evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 15 Apr 11 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(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 in regard to the 
applicant’s stated request. 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 relief beyond that already granted 
administratively is not warranted. The applicant’s grade of 
senior airman was accurately reflected on his DD Form 214 as the 
highest grade held at retirement. 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
