APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1. His Date of Rank (DOR) and Promotion Effective Date (PED) 
from airman basic (E-1) to airman (E-2) be changed to 22 Oct 11.

2. He be promoted to the grade of airman first class (E-3) with

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In accordance with the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) policy, 
he should have been promoted to E-2 after six months, but 
because of an administrative oversight he did not get promoted.  
He provides a letter from his unit commander that states he was 
not denied promotion; his name just never appeared on the 
promotion roster.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of the 
promotion eligibility criteria, a printout from the Military 
Personnel Data System (MilPDS), a copy of a letter from his 
commander, and a printout on the Reserve enlisted promotions.

His 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 (E-2) with a DOR of 1 Sep 12.

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:

AFRC/A1K recommends partial approval.  The applicant would have 
been eligible for promotion to the grade of E-2 on 7 May 12, 
after completing Basic Military Training (BMT) and 6 months Time 
in Grade (TIG); with approval of the promotion authority.  He 
would have been eligible for promotion to the grade of E-3 on 
7 Nov 12.  Therefore, based on the documentation provided in the 
form of his commander’s recommendation and a MilPDS printout, 
partial approval is recommended.

The complete A1K 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 8 Jan 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting 
partial approval.  The applicant’s request that his DOR for 
airman be changed to 22 Oct 11 and he be promoted to the grade 
of senior airman with a DOR of 22 Mar 13 is noted.  However, 
after reviewing the circumstances surrounding the applicant’s 
promotion date of ranks and promotion effective dates, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility.  We believe the recommended corrections 
to his records provide full and fitting relief.  Therefore, we 
recommend his records be corrected as indicated below.

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 issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that:

	a.  He was promoted to the grade of airman (E-2) effective 
and with a date of rank of 7 May 2012 rather than 1 September 
2012.

	b.  He was promoted to the grade of airman first class (E-3) 
effective and with a date of rank of 7 November 2012.
