RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05318
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade at the time of entry on active duty should have been
advanced based on his status as an Eagle Scout.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was never told that since he was an Eagle Scout, he would get
a stripe upon entry onto active duty. He found this out after
coming on active duty and requested it be changed.
He was never told about this program from day one and throughout
his career, there was never any mention that he could have this
fixed. Now that he has been given the full information, he
wishes this injustice to be corrected.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
Certified Eagle Scout Award Application, dated 26 Jul 91.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 Jul 92, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force
for a period of four years. The applicant has been
progressively promoted to the grade of master sergeant, with an
effective date and Date of Rank (DOR) of 1 Jul 08.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. DPSIPE states that the
applicants request for advanced promotion to airman (A1C/E-2),
based on qualifying for the Eagle Scout Award was not an option
for advanced promotion at the time of the member's initial
enlistment on 24 Jul 92. There was no evidence of an error or
justification that warrants a change to member's entry pay
grade.
The applicant did enlist into the Air Force on 24 Jul 92 for a
four year term of enlistment and he did receive the Eagle Scout
Award prior to entering active duty. However, the provision to
offer advanced promotion to individuals awarded Eagle Scout was
not added to AFI 36-2002, until May 1997, five years after the
member entered active duty. AFR 33-3, Enlistment in the United
States Air Force, dated 17 Aug 89 (C 1) and 16 Jul 91 (C2) Table
2-2, Grade Determination for NPS Enlistees, did not list Eagle
Scout Award as an option for advanced promotion.
The complete AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 21 Dec 12 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 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 that 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.

He was assured by his recruiter, prior to his enlistment, that given his prior service and rank, it should not be a problem for him to be able to enlist in the Air Force as an E-4. When he enlisted he noticed that the contract listed his enlistment grade as E-2. To enlist in a grade previously held in a branch of service other than the Regular Air Force, individuals must meet specific Total Active Military Service (TAFMS) requirements that are equitable within the Air Force promotion system.
