APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His reclassification package be reconsidered. (Previously
approved by Board)
2. He be reinstated to active duty service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The procedures used in the reclassification process led to his
dismissal from the Air Force.
The applicants complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Under AFBCMR Docket number BC-2011-00096 (Exhibit B), the
applicant was allowed to submit a personal statement for
inclusion in his Initial Skills Elimination Reclassification
package and his package was presented to the Initial Skills
Training Officer Reclassification Panel for reconsideration on
15 Sep 2011. Following reconsideration, it was determined the
applicant should be reclassified into Air Force Specialty Code
61A, Analyst.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIP recommends partial approval. DPSIP states based upon
the Reclassification Authoritys decision, recommend the AFBCMR
direct reappointment of the applicant as a second lieutenant into
the active duty Air Force. Following the Boards direction, the
applicant will be immediately submitted for appointment as a
direct accession into the Line of the Air Force. Upon approval
of the appointment, the applicant will be ordered to active duty
and scheduled for initial skills training in the 61A, Analyst
career field. His service dates will be adjusted in accordance
with AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank. However,
should the Board vacate the separation and direct reinstatement
with back pay and entitlements, the applicant will be immediately
reinstated effective 11 Ju1 11. As such, the applicant will
maintain his original service dates. If the applicant is
reinstated vice reappointed, recommend the Board direct his
record be withheld from consideration by a Force Shaping Board or
captain's promotion board until such time he has he earned a
minimum of three officer performance reports or a maximum
exemption of three years, whichever comes first. In so doing,
the applicant will be allotted an opportunity to document
performance within the same timeline as his peers.
The complete DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the DPSIP evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
29 November 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. To date,
no response has been received. Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to warrant
partial approval. In this respect, we note that based on a
previous correction to his records, the applicant was allowed to
submit a personal statement for inclusion in his Initial Skills
Elimination Reclassification package and his package was
presented to the Initial Skills Training Officer Reclassification
Panel for reconsideration. Following reconsideration, it was
determined the applicant should be reclassified into Air Force
Specialty Code 61A, Analyst. He now requests that he be
reinstated on active duty contending that the improper procedure
followed during the reclassification process led to his dismissal
from the Air Force. We note that the Air Force office of primary
recommends partial approval and we agree with their
recommendation. Although the applicant requests reinstatement to
active duty, we believe it is more equitable that he be
immediately submitted for appointment as a direct accession into
the Line of the Air Force, ordered to active duty and scheduled
for his initial training in the 61A, Analyst career field. In
view of the above, we recommend his records be corrected to the
extent indicated below.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to the Board's understanding of the issues
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:
a. He be returned to active duty as a direct accession and
his extended active duty date be based on his availability.
b. He be scheduled for initial skills training in the 61A,
Analyst career field in the earliest available class.
c. His service dates be adjusted in accordance with AFI 36-
2604.
