RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03508 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to reflect the grade of senior airman (SrA) 
(E-4) rather than airman first class (A1C) (E-3). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was promoted to the grade of SrA prior to his separation. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his 
Certificate of Military Service, DD Form 214, and separation 
orders. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who 
entered active duty on 20 November 1992 in the grade of airman 
basic (E-1). He was promoted to the grade of airman (E-2) 
effective 20 May 1993, and to the grade of A1C on 20 March 1994. 
He was honorably discharged effective 14 January 1996 in the 
grade of A1C with a narrative reason for separation of 
“miscellaneous/general reasons.” He served 3 years, 1 month, and 
25 days on active duty. 

 

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 B. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. A1K states that based on the 
applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) 
of 20 November 1992 and his A1C date of rank (DOR) of 20 March 
1994, he would have been eligible for promotion consideration to 
SrA effective 20 November 1995. However, he received a referral 
Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) for the period 20 July 1994 – 


19 July 1995 and was non-recommended for promotion by his 
commander in August 1995. 

 

DPSOE indicates the applicant’s record does not contain any 
official documentation promoting him to the grade of SrA prior to 
his discharge. 

 

The complete DPSOE 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 18 November 2011, for review and comment 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

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.
