RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01694 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His date of rank (DOR) to first lieutenant be changed from 
5 January 2010 to 31 December 2009. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He graduated from Phase II of the Interservice Physician 
Assistant Program (IPAP) on 30 December 2009 and signed his oath 
of office on 31 December 2009. The Military Personnel Flight 
was closed from 31 December through 3 January due to the 
holidays and weekend. These events lead to his DOR being 
established as 5 January 2010. 

 

Six of his classmates that graduated from other locations had 
their DORs as 31 December 2009 and were recently on the captain 
selection board. The major’s boards run from January to 
December. His classmates will be eligible for promotion one 
year before he is eligible although they started school the same 
day and were all in the same program. Additionally, they all 
had the same official graduation date. He requests his DOR be 
changed to match his classmates to have the same opportunity for 
promotion to major. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement 
from the Chief Consultant for the Physician Assistants and a 
copy of AF IMT 133, Oath of Office. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was appointed into the Air Force Reserves on 
31 December 2009 and entered into extended active duty (EAD) on 
5 January 2010. 

 


The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force which is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. The applicant’s current DOR was 
established in accordance with AFI 36-2604, which credits 
officers ½ day for each day the officer performed active, but 
not active duty, commissioned service in the grade in which they 
entered the active duty list. 

 

The applicant was commissioned on 31 December 2009 and entered 
EAD on 5 January 2010. He received 50 percent credit from 
31 December 2009 to 4 January 2010 for a total of 2 days which 
established his date of rank as 3 January 2010. His EAD of 
5 January 2010 was determined by his first day of travel. 

 

The applicant’s date of commission was established one day prior 
to extended active duty, not the day he outprocessed the 
military personnel flight. 

 

The complete DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 13 January 2012 for review and comment within 
30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response 
(Exhibit C). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a 
thorough review of the evidence presented, it appears the 
applicant’s appointment date was appropriately established in 
compliance with SecDef directive, Air Force Instructions and 
Title 10, United States Code. We note the statute does allow 
adjustment of the date of rank of an officer if, due to unusual 
circumstances, the appointment is delayed from the date on which 


it would otherwise have been made. As the applicant indicates, 
due to his graduation from IPAP occurring during the holiday 
season, his appointment was delayed due to no fault of his own. 
Therefore, in an effort to offset any possibility of an 
injustice, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as 
indicated below. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show a Date of Rank 
(DOR) in the grade of first lieutenant (O-2) of 31 December 2009 
rather than 3 January 2010. 

 

________________________________________________________________
