AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-00052 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED: NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
    
 
______________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  current  rank  of  airman  (E-2)  be  corrected  to  airman  first 
class (E-3). 
 
______________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
When he signed his enlistment paperwork it mentioned that if his 
transcripts  were  entered  prior  to  his  six  month  mark,  he  would 
currently  be  serving  in  the  grade  of  airman  first  class.    His 
transcripts are a part of his enlistment contract. He attempted 
to  have  this  problem  fixed  while  attending  technical  school; 
however, nothing was accomplished. 
 
The applicant does not provide any supporting documentation. 
 
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.  
 
______________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The applicant is currently serving in the grade of airman in the 
Air Force Reserve.   
 
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained 
in  the  letter  prepared  by  the  appropriate  office  of  the  Air 
Force.  Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in 
this Record of Proceedings. 
 
______________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFRC/RSOO recommends denial.  The applicant has not provided any 
documentation supporting his request to be awarded the advanced 
rank of airman first class.  Furthermore, there is no record of 
the  applicant  presenting  qualifying  educational  transcripts  for 
promotion  eligibility  before  attending  Basic  Military  Training 
(BMT), or prior to BMT graduation, as required.  In addition, as 
part  of  the  enlistment  contract,  enlistees  initial  a  statement 
 
 

acknowledging  they  may  be  entitled  to  advanced  rank,  but  are 
choosing to enlist as an E-1 (sometimes new members are unable to 
retrieve  transcripts  due  to  unpaid  college  expenses,  other 
documentation entitling them to advanced rank (e.g. Eagle Scout), 
or their priority is leaving the area quickly for BMT). 
 
The complete AFRC/RSOO 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 6 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days.  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 applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force Reserve Command office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the 
applicant  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.
