RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04714
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her records be corrected to reflect that she enlisted in the Air
National Guard (ANG) in the grade of airman first class (A1C,
E-3).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of her enlistment, she had enough college credits to
enlist in the grade of A1C.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate that she
enlisted in the New Hampshire ANG on 13 Jul 11 in the grade of
Airman (Amn, E-2) for a period of six years and is currently
serving in said grade.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PO recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. In accordance with Air National Guard
Instruction (ANGI) 36-2002, Enlistment and Reenlistment in the
Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the Air Force, documents
presented after enlistment processing is completed may not be
used as a basis for changing the enlistment grade.
Additionally, the applicant must have completed at least 45
semester hours or 67-quarter hours of accredited junior
college/college credits in order to qualify for accession at the
higher grade. However, according to the transcripts provided
with the applicants request, she was not eligible for accession
in the requested grade. The applicant submitted official
academic transcripts from University of New Hampshire (UNH) and
Great Bay Community College (GBCC). The UNH transcript shows a
total of 41 semester credits as of 29 May 09. However, the GBCC
transcript indicates that not all of her credits transferred;
therefore, the applicant does not meet the requirements
indicated in ANGI 36-2002, Table 1.6, to have been accessed in
the grade of A1C.
A complete copy of the NGB/A1PO 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 11 Jan 13 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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
(OPR) 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.
________________________________________________________________
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.
