RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02789
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect her grade as technical sergeant
(E-6), rather than staff sergeant (E-5).
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In accordance with AFI 36-3212, Physical Evaluation for
Retention, Retirement, And Separation, her pay grade should be
E-6 because she was selected to be promoted before the Medical
Evaluation Board (MEB) commenced.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate she enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 24 Jun 03.
On 28 May 12, the applicant was released from active duty in the
grade of staff sergeant (E-5) and permanently retired by reason
of physical disability in the grade of technical sergeant (E-6),
effective 29 May 12, with an honorable service characterization.
She was credited with 8 years, 11 months, and 5 days of active
service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPD recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. The applicant was selected for promotion
to the grade of technical sergeant (E-6) and she would have been
promoted on 1 Apr 12; however, on 8 Mar 12, the Secretary of the
Air Force found her unfit for contined service and directed she
be permanently retired. While this rendered her ineligible for
promotion, she was retired in the projected higher grade of
technical sergeant in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 1372. However,
the applicants DD 214 correctly reflects the grade of staff
sergeant which is the highest grade she held on the date of
separation and an amendment or change is not authorized and
would be in violation of Air Force Instructions.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPPD 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 7 Aug 12 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 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 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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; 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.
