RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02233 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His records be corrected to reflect he enlisted in the Air Force 
on 1 Apr 10 vice 29 Mar 10. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His recruiter failed to disclose the Air Force Specialty Code 
(AFSC) he enlisted in would qualify him for a bonus if he 
enlisted after 1 Apr 10. 

 

Enlistment after 1 Apr 10 would allow him to enter the Air Force 
as an airman first class (E-3) and give him eligibility for the 
six year, $15,000 enlistment bonus. If the aforementioned 
information was made available to him, he would have enlisted on 
1 Apr 10 instead of 29 Mar 10. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of DD 
Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document - Armed Forces of the 
United States; Bonus AFSC Lists, and an electronic communiqué. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve, for a six year 
period on 29 Mar 09 as an airman (E-1) in AFSC 2A752 
(Nondestructive Inspection). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denial. A1K states enlistment bonus 
entitlement is determined by eligible AFSCs on the actual date 
of enlistment. On 29 Mar 10, the applicant enlisted in AFSC 
2A752 for six years. During the time of his enlistment, AFSC 
2A752 was not authorized an incentive. The applicant did not 
provide documentation to substantiate miscounseling or any other 
documentation to warrant special consideration. 


The complete A1K evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 19 Jan 11 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(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. 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.
