RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04393
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her term of enlistment be reduced from six years to four years.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She washed out of her previous Air Force Specialty (AFS), Air
Traffic Controller, which mandated a six year enlistment. She
was involuntarily retrained into her current career field which
does not have a mandatory enlistment term. She would have only
enlisted for four years had she had the option.
She requests her enlistment be curtailed so that she can become
eligible for a base of preference (BOP) assignment to join her
husband. While in her current enlistment, she will not be
eligible for a BOP until the 59th month of her enlistment. If
her enlistment were changed to four years, she could apply for a
BOP after her 39th month. Her husband is an Air National
Guardsman at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. He would incur a $60,000 debt
if he were released from his enlistment contract.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of the
AF Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement USAF, a copy
of the AF Form 3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement
Non-Prior Service USAF, supporting statements and documents
from her master personnel record.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently active duty serving in the grade of
Senior Airman. On 24 February 2009, she signed the AF Form
3007, guaranteeing her the Air Traffic Controller specialty. On
that same date, she executed the AF Form 3008, Supplement to
Enlistment Agreement USAF, agreeing to enlist as an Airman
First Class for a term of six years.
On 19 March 2010, the applicants commander recommended she be
withdrawn from the Air Traffic Control duties for Failure to
Obtain a Rating. Specifically, the commander felt she was
incapable of performing Air Traffic Controller duties. He
recommended she be provided the opportunity to cross-train into
a new career field. She was reclassified as a Paralegal
Apprentice.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial. The applicant agreed to a six
year term of enlistment contract as a requirement to reserve a
position in the AFS Air Traffic Controller. She was decertified
in August 2010 and reclassified as a Paralegal Apprentice.
Although she was decertified, she is still obligated to serve
her six year term of enlistment.
The complete DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 1 March 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). 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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicants 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 that the applicants
decertification does not relieve her of the original six year
obligation and that she 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.
