AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01068
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the grade/rank of technical sergeant (E6) with
a date of rank (DOR) of 1 February 1967.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was relieved from active duty and placed on the Temporary
Disability Retired List (TDRL) on 31 October 1966. He believes
that if he had been considered for promotion to technical
sergeant he would have been selected for promotion. He is not
sure he was considered for promotion.
The purpose of his application is to confirm that he was
considered and selected for promotion to the grade of technical
sergeant with a DOR of 1 February 1967.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, a copy of his retirement order and his DD Form 214,
Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 April
1954. He was progressively promoted to the grade of staff
sergeant with a date of rank of 1 June 1961. On 30 September
1966, he was placed on the TDRL. He was later found unqualified
for the performance of military duties and placed on the
Permanent Disability Retired List at the grade of staff
sergeant, effective 4 June 1968.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOE recommends the application be time barred.
Promotions during that time were made at the Major Command
unless delegated to the Wing, Group or Squadron level.
Promotion boards selected individuals based on the quotas
received by HQ USAF within each career field. To be considered
for promotion to E6, an individual must have 21 months time-in-
grade, possess a 7-skill level and be recommended by the
commander. These were the minimum requirements and did not
guarantee promotion.
The promotion regulation at that (AFR 39-29, Promotion of
Airmen) stated that airmen found to be unfit for further
military service by the Secretary of the Air Force and being
separated or retired for physical disability were ineligible for
promotion. A review of the applicant’s records reveals no
official documents or orders promoting him to the rank of
technical sergeant prior to his placement on the TDRL.
The complete DPSOE 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 24 May 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The
applicant’s complete submission was thoroughly reviewed and his
contentions duly noted. However, we note the applicant was
placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) in the
grade of staff sergeant. As such, upon placement on the TDRL,
in accordance with the policy contained in AFR 39-29, Promotion
of Airmen, Table 1, he was not eligible for promotion and would
not have been considered for promotion to the grade of technical
sergeant. We are not persuaded that the record raises issues of
error or injustice which require resolution on the merits.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
2
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.
