AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00816
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade/rank on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect staff
sergeant/E5.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The DD Form 214 that was processed on 30 January 2012 is
incorrect. His rank should be reflected as staff sergeant as
referenced on his retirement orders.
In support of his request, the applicant submits his retirement
orders.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the regular Air Force. On
31 October 2011, pursuant to an Informal Physical Evaluation
Board, he was found unfit due to physical disability. On
21 November 2011, the Secretary of the Air Force directed he be
permanently retired. He was honorably retired on 28 January
2012 and credited with 5 years, 11 months and 5 days of active
duty service. The applicant’s grade was listed as senior
airman/E4, with an effective date of rank of 8 April 2009.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. The applicant was considered and
tentatively selected for promotion to the grade of staff
sergeant during promotion cycle 11E5. His promotion sequence
number, 3574.0 would have incremented on 1 December 2011;
however, he was found unfit for further military service on
21 November 2011.
In accordance with AFI 36-3212, airmen are ineligible for
promotion in a particular cycle if they have been determined by
the Secretary of the Air Force to be unfit to perform the duties
of their grade because of physical disability. When promotion
eligibility code “L” was updated, effective 21 November 2011,
the applicant’s projected promotion was removed.
Members who are retired on or after 23 September 1996 may be
retired in the regular or reserve grade to which they had been
selected and would have been promoted had it not been for the
physical disability for which they were retired. This is for
retirement and pay purposes only. The DD Form 214 reflects the
active duty grade the member held at the time of separation. The
retirement order also reflects the applicant’s highest grade
held on active duty as senior airman.
The complete DPSOE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
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 office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not clearly established that he has 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
the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

She was advised by members of the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) the grade of staff sergeant (E-5) would be recorded on her DD Form 214.

His Letter of Reprimand (LOR) be removed from his record. JAJM states the applicant does not allege an error in how the Article 15 was processed. We note the applicant alleges that the nonjudicial punishment he received in December 2010 was unfair in that, as an alleged unintended consequence, it rendered him ineligible to test for promotion to the next rank before he was otherwise required to separate from active service.
