IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04741
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect he enlisted in the grade of
airman first class (E-3), instead of airman basic (E-1).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His college sent the wrong transcripts in support of his request
to be enlisted in the higher grade. Upon completing basic
military training (BMT), he reordered the transcripts and had
them sent to his technical school to change his rank and pay.
In support of his request, the applicant provides an expanded
statement and copies his AF Form 938, Request and Authorization
for Active Duty Training/Active Duty Tour; DD Form 1966/1, Record of Military Processing Armed Forces of the United
States; and DD Form 2807-1, Report of Medical History.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of airman first class (E-3).
Under the provisions of AFRCI 36-2001, Air Force Reserve
Recruiting Procedures, Table 5.1, Note 5: Documents presented
after enlistment may be used as a basis for changing the
authorized enlistment grade up until the individuals BMT
graduation date. Recruiter will advise applicant to obtain
documents before enlistment. However, this policy will allow an
applicant who is in the process of completing additional college
classes, etc., that will qualify them for a higher grade, to have
the opportunity to have their records updated to reflect the
higher grade.
The applicant initialed in the remarks section of the enlistment
contract NPS Without Proof of Education and Training, I
understand that if I present College Transcripts prior to my
completion of Basic Military Training I may be eligible for
enlistment in a higher grade. I elect to enlist in the grade of
E-3 prior to the receipt of this document. I understand that I
must present official documents to be awarded an increased grade
after enlistment.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/RSOO recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. Enlistees initial the enlistment
contract acknowledging they may be entitled to a higher rank,
but chooses to enlist as an E-1. There is no documentation
showing the applicant submitted transcripts prior to completing
BMT. The BMT and Tech Training School have no record of
receiving transcripts for the applicant. The applicant
indicated on his application that his transcripts were not
provided prior to him graduating from BMT in accordance with the
requirements of the governing instruction.
A complete copy of the AFRC/RSOO evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 14 Jan 13, for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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. After
careful consideration of applicant's request and the available
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or
injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions
stated in the advisory opinions appear to be based on the
evidence of record and have not been adequately rebutted by the
applicant. Other than his own assertions, the applicant has
provided no evidence to indicate that his failure to provide
college transcripts was due to circumstances that were beyond
his control. Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was
denied rights to which he was entitled, appropriate regulations
were not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we
find no basis to disturb the existing record.
________________________________________________________________
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.
