AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-00301 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO  

 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
    
 
     
 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
Her promotion effective date (PED) to the grade of airman (E-2) 
be changed to 21 Mar 11.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
She should have been promoted to Airman on time, but she wasn’t.  
She  had  not  done  anything  which  would  prevent  her  from  being 
promoted  on  time,  and  she  wasn’t  denied  promotion.    She  should 
receive her back pay as an Airman.   
 
On  3  Dec  11,  her  commander,  the  94th  Force  Support  Squadron 
Commander, recommended approval of her request to change her DOR 
to E-2 to 21 Mar 11.   
 
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a memorandum of 
endorsement signed by her commander.   
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachment,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  initially  entered  the  Air  Force  Reserve  (AFR)  as 
an Airman Basic (E-1) on 21 Sep 10 and served on active duty for 
her  initial  training.    She  was  released  from  active  duty  upon 
completion  of  her  initial  training  on  15  Jun  11,  and  credited 
with  8 months  and  25  days  active  service.    The  applicant 
currently serves in the Air Force Reserve (AFR) in the grade of 
Airman. 
 
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described  in  the  letter  prepared  by  the  Air  Force  office  of 
primary responsibility which is included at Exhibit C.    
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFRC/A1K  recommends  approval,  indicating  there  is  an  error  or 
injustice.    The  applicant  entered  active  duty  training  in  the 
grade of airman basic (E-1) on 27 Sep 10 and in accordance with 
AFR  enlisted  promotion  policy,  her  time  in  grade  (TIG)  for  E-1 
was  effective  as  of  that  date.    IAW  AFPD  36-25,  Military 
Promotion  and  Demotion, Paragraph 3.1, upon completion of Basic 
Military  Training  (BMT)  and  six  months  TIG  as  an  E-1  the 
applicant was eligible for promotion to the rank of E-2 as of 27 
Mar 11.  While the applicant is requesting her promotion to the 
grade of airman (E-2) be effective on 21 Mar 11, she was not TIG 
eligible  for  said  promotion  until  27  Mar  11.    Therefore, 
contingent  upon  the  concurrence  of  the  promotion  authority  for 
this  applicant,  her  records  should  be  corrected  to  reflect  she 
was promoted to the grade of airman (E-2) on 27 Mar 11.  
 
A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K 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  Apr  12  for  review  and  comment  within  30  days.  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 
(Exhibit D). 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 
 
1.  The  applicant  has  exhausted  all  remedies  provided  by 
existing law or regulations. 
 
2.  The  application  was  untimely  filed;  however,  it  is  in  the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 
 
3.  Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  an  error  or  injustice.    The 
applicant  contends  that  her  promotion  effective  date  (PED)  to 
the rank of Airman (E-2) should be 21 Mar 11.  After a thorough 
review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, 
we  believe  a  preponderance  of  the  evidence  supports  corrective 
action.    We  note  the  comments  of  AFRC/A1K  indicating  the 
applicant entered initial active duty training on 27 Sep 10, and 
would  have  been  eligible  for  promotion  to  E-2  on  27  Mar  11; 
however,  her  DD  Form  214,  Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge 
from  Active  Duty,  indicates  that  she  initially  entered  active 
duty  on  21 Mar 11.    Therefore,  in  view  of  the  above,  we 
recommend her records be corrected as indicated below.
