RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04271
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade/rank on his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United
States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to reflect
E4.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
As he was leaving Vietnam, his sergeant gave him stripes and
told him he was at a higher grade. He wants his grade corrected
for the sake of his family.
The applicant submits no supporting documentation.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was a member of the Regular Air Force from
19 February 1963 to 27 January 1967. He was honorably
discharged and credited with 3 years, 11 months and 9 days of
active duty service. The applicants grade was listed as Airman
Second Class/E3, with a date of rank of 1 February 1964.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOE recommends the application be time barred. To be
considered for promotion to A1C the applicant must have
12 months time in grade, possess a skill level commensurate with
their Air Force Specialty Code, and be recommended by the
commander. Based on his date of rank of 1 February 1964, he
would have been time in grade eligible for promotion to A1C. A
review of the applicants record reveals no promotion orders to
the rank of A1C. While he may have been deserving of a
promotion, he has provided no documentation supporting his
claim.
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 10 February 2012, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received
no response.
________________________________________________________________
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.
The applicant did not file within three years after the alleged
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10,
United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-
2603. The applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the
delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises
issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the
merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of
justice to excuse applicants failure to file in a timely
manner.
________________________________________________________________
DECISION OF THE BOARD:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as
untimely.

DPSOE states the application has not been filed within the three- year time limitation imposed by AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR). Due to the passage of time and lack of promotion history files, DPSOE is unable to determine why the applicant was promoted to his various ranks on the dates reflected in his record. However, the total time-in-grade required to be considered for promotion from E-1 to E-4 was 30 months, and the applicant was promoted at...
