RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01916
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade be changed from Flight Officer to Second Lieutenant.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on
8 October 2003. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request, and, the
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record
of Proceedings at Exhibit F.
The applicant requested reconsideration of his application, by
letter through his Member of Congress, dated 17 Dec 03; however,
on 6 Jan 04, his congressional member was advised that his
request did not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the
Board. The applicant submitted a DD Form 149, dated 17 Mar 10,
requesting reconsideration of his application; however, on
2 Mar 11, he was advised that his request did not meet the
criteria for reconsideration by the Board (Exhibit G).
Through his Member of Congress, the applicant submits a request
for reconsideration, contending that the letter signed by his
commanding officer is sufficient evidence to substantiate his
claim.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a letter from
his member of congress; a letter from his local Veteran’s
office, and other documents previously submitted to the Board.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit H.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was
insufficient evidence to warrant promotion to the grade of

not
validate
the
evidence
second lieutenant. After thoroughly reviewing the additional
documentation submitted in support of the applicant’s appeal,
including the signed letter recommending him for the promotion,
the letters of recommendation from his Member of Congress and
comments from his local veterans’ office, we are not still not
persuaded the applicant has been the victim of an error or
injustice warranting approval of the relief he seeks. While the
applicant has provided a document that reflects that his
commander recommended him for promotion to the grade of second
lieutenant,
that the
recommendation was processed in accordance with the promotion
policies in effect at the time. The acts of heroism and
personal sacrifice the applicant endured for our nation is
noted; however, in view of the above, we find no basis upon
which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s
request.
________________________________________________________________
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.

Since he would then be a first lieutenant, at the time of his promotion at Wright-Patterson AFB, he requests that promotion, effective that date, be to captain.
