RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03527 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her records be corrected to reflect she was exempt from taking 
the Specialty Knowledge Test (SKT) for promotion cycle 07E10 
(2010) and 07E11 (2011) to Master Sergeant (MSgt). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

In Jan 08, when she returned to her primary Air Force Specialty 
Code (PAFSC) after serving in a Special Duty Assignment (SDA), 
her Training Status Code (TSC) should have been updated to “C” 
(Upgrade training for the initial award of a 7-skill level AFSC) 
because she was no longer fully qualified in her PAFSC. She had 
not yet completed the 24-month transition period back to her 
PAFSC before her Promotion Eligibility Cutoff Date (PECD) of 31 
Dec 09. 

 

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of a 
screen shot of her Training Status Code from the Military 
Personnel Data System (MilPDS), an excerpt from AFI 36-2502 Airman Promotion/Demotion Programs, her Weighted Airman 
Promotion System Score Notice, and an AF IMT 330, Records 
Transmittal/Request. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

In Mar 04, the applicant was awarded her 7-level in the 3S0X1 
(Personnel) AFSC; in Apr 04, she began an SDA as an 8T000 
(Airmen Leadership School Instructor); and, in Jan 08, she 
returned to the 3S0X1 AFSC as a 7-level after serving outside 
her PAFSC for three years and nine months. 

 

 

 


The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the Air Force Offices of 
Primary Responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C 
and D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant was awarded her 7-level in 
Mar 04 before departing for her SDA. Upon return from the SDA 
in Jan 08, she was correctly returned to her primary AFSC as a 
7-level. In accordance with AFI 36-2201, Air Force Training 
Program, in order to be put in TSC “C” a member must be a staff 
sergeant (E-5) or above and possess a 5-level. In addition, the 
applicant was not outside of her primary career field for the 
required 6 years to qualify for a downgrade of her AFSC IAW AFI 
36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted). 
Therefore, the member was correctly put in TSC “R” (fully 
qualified). The applicant has not provided sufficient evidence 
to warrant correction of her TSC. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant correctly tested on both 
the Promotion Fitness Examination (PFE) and SKT for cycle 10E7 in 
AFSC 3S0X1 and was rendered a non-select. Her Promotion Fitness 
Examination (PFE) score was 58.00, SKT score was 52.00, total 
score was 307.50, and the score required for selection in her 
AFSC was 329.50. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOE evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 25 Jan 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit E). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPR) and adopt their rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error 
of 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 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.

    Only those individuals assigned to an IDMT 4N0X1C CAFSC position at the time of the conversion were considered for promotion as an IDMT in the CY05 cycle. We therefore conclude the fair and right thing to do is to recommend the 4N0X1C members be given supplemental consideration in the CAFSC 4N0X1 for the 05E6/05E7 promotion cycle. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air...

    Only those individuals assigned to an IDMT 4N0X1C CAFSC position at the time of the conversion were considered for promotion as an IDMT in the CY05 cycle. As to whether some individuals were incorrectly promoted because they were “lucky” enough to be identified in the wrong CAFSC, promotion selections are “tentative pending verification by the MPF” (AFI 36-2502) and airmen are not “to assume the grade when data verification discovers missing or erroneous data.” Therefore, if an IDMT serving...
