RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03244 

COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her original date of rank (DOR) to second lieutenant (2Lt) (O-1) 
be changed to 14 February 2003. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She does not agree with how her DOR was computed. Her effective 
date of duty was 28 February 2003, not 4 March 2003, which was 
her report-not-later-than (RNLT) date. She executed her orders 
as instructed on 28 February 2003 and was present for duty prior 
to 4 March 2003. Her classmate’s record, who was commissioned 
with her, shows 14 February 2003 as his original DOR. Her DOR 
should be identical to his. 

 

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of her 
Extended Active Duty (EAD) Order and her Statement of Service. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of captain (O-3) with a DOR of 16 February 2007. 

 

The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s 
military service records, are contained in the evaluation by the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. DPSIPV states that during an 
audit of records in the 2003 year group of officers to meet the 
major promotion board, it was discovered the applicant’s original 
DOR to 2Lt was incorrect. It should have been 17 February 2003 
rather than 16 February 2003 and was corrected accordingly. The 
applicant was notified at the time of the correction. The error 
in her DOR occurred due to her EAD date being recorded as 
28 February 2003 rather than 1 March 2003 causing her original 


DOR to be 16 February 2003, which gave her one day too much 
credit. The EAD was corrected and established as 1 March 2003. 

 

The Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation, Volume 
7A, Chapter 1, paragraph 010201C, indicates “Commencement of 
travel in compliance with an order is considered acceptance for 
pay purposes” establishing the EAD. The member must be in a pay 
status to be on active duty. The effective date of duty on the 
applicant’s order was on or after 28 February 2003. She chose to 
start travel on 1 March 2003, not using her full amount of 
authorized travel time. 

 

The DOR is computed in accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-
2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank. Reserve officers receive 
50 percent credit for the period of time between the 
commissioning date and EAD by determining the number of days of 
service as a Reserve officer then dividing by two (50 percent) 
and subtract from the EAD. In the applicant’s case, the number 
of days between 31 January 2003 and 28 February 2003 equals 
28 days, 50 percent equals 14 days subtracted from her EAD of 
1 March 2003, resulting in 17 February 2003. The 14 days cannot 
be subtracted from 28 February 2003 because that is the last day 
of Reserve service used to determine the 28/14 days and 1 March 
2003 was her first day of active duty (EAD). 

 

DPSIPV indicates that if the Board’s decision is to grant relief, 
then the applicant’s DOR to 2Lt should be returned to the 
original date 16 February 2003. 

 

The complete DPSIPV evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 21 October 2011 for review and response within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no 
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 an error or an 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.
