APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He met all qualifications for a level 2 JSO, but due to UMD 
errors discovered after self-nomination deadlines were exceeded, 
he could not correct his record prior to his retirement.  AFPC 
led him to believe that the missing decoration, badges, devices 
and various training and certifications were being added to his 
DD Form 214 prior to his retirement.

In support of the applicant’s appeal, he submits a personal 
statement, documents extracted from his military personnel 
records and other associated documentation.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 31 January 2012, the applicant was relieved from active duty 
and retired on 1 February 2012 under the provisions of AFI 36-
3203 (Vol Retirement – Maximum Service or Time in Grade).  He 
served 20 years and 19 days on active duty.

The applicant has been advised that award of the Defense 
Meritorious Service Medal with one Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster and 
the following badges: Senior Space, Senior Acquisition and 
Financial Management, Headquarters Air Force (HAF) Duty, 
Cyberspace Operator and USCYBERCOM duty have been verified and 
his records will be updated to reflect the correction.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAPPO recommends denial.  DPAPPO states IAW DoDI 1300.19, 
DoD Joint Officer Management Program, in order to be appointed a 
Level II Joint Qualified Officer the officer must accrue 18 
joint qualification points or have been awarded full joint duty 
credit and successfully completed JPME I.  Based on the Joint 
Officer History provided by the applicant, he only received four 
joint qualification points.  Although he was assigned to a joint 
organization - he was never in a Joint Duty Assignment List 
(JDAL) position so never was awarded full joint tour credit.  A 
further check of the Joint Officer Management Information System 
(JMIS) and Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) verify this 
fact.  The applicant did attend JPME I, graduating from the Air 
Command and Staff College, non-resident program in 2002.  Based 
on the fact that he did not accrue 18 points, nor was he awarded 
full joint tour credit, he was never eligible to receive a Level 
II JQO certification.

The DPAPPO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSID states no action is required.  DPSID states award of 
the Defense Meritorious Service Medal with one Bronze Oak Leaf 
Cluster is verified and the record has been corrected.

The DPSID complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

AFPC/DPSIM recommends granting relief sought by the applicant to 
be awarded the following badges:  “Senior Space, Senior 
Acquisition and Financial Management, Headquarters Air Force 
(HAF) duty, Cyberspace Operator and USCYBERCOM duty be added to 
his DD Form 214.  The correction will be accomplished after 
Board action.

The DPSIM complete evaluation is at Exhibit E.

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial of the applicant’s request to add 
Acquisition Professional Certification Levels to his DD Form 
214.  DPSIT states the applicant’s Acquisition Professional 
Certification Levels do not qualify as education completions for 
inclusion in Section 14 of his DD Form 214.  Certifications 
represent the skill/proficiency and various requirements that 
were achieved to qualify for each specific certification which 
is awarded via submission of package.  Some of the requirements 
met were training course completions that are included on the DD 
Form 214 instead of the actual certification level.

The DPSIT complete evaluation is at Exhibit F.

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 warranting a 
correction to the applicant’s primary specialty and his military 
education.  After a thorough review of the evidence of record 
and the applicant’s submission, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of AFPC/DPAPPO and AFPC/DPSIT and adopt their 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  We note that the 
applicant’s request regarding the Defense Meritorious Service 
Medal with One Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster and the following badges: 
Senior Space, Senior Acquisition and Financial Management, 
Headquarters Air Force (HAF) duty, Cyberspace Operator and 
USCYBERCOM duty, have been administratively corrected.  
Therefore, other than the administrative corrections to the 
applicant’s record cited above we find no basis to recommend 
granting any additional relief sought in this application.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
