RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-03195
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be amended in item 11 (Primary Specialty) to reflect 2855 
- Acquisition Aeronautical Engineer 7 years 3 months and 2724 - 
Acquisition Program Manager 1 year 6 months rather than H02855 – 
Acquisition Aeronautical Engineer 8 years.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Although he served in a program manager position his duty Air 
Force Specialty Code (AFSC) remained 2855, Aeronautical 
Engineer.  From April 1991 until his separation in September 
1992, he solely acted as the program manager for a classified 
program.

In support of the applicant’s appeal, he provides a personal 
statement and copies of documents extracted from his military 
personnel records.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

After serving 8 years, 3 months and 20 days on active duty the 
applicant was honorably discharged and transferred to the Air 
Force Reserve on 29 September 1992 - under the provisions of AFR 
36-12 (Voluntarily Released/Transfer to another Service 
Component for Early Release).

The applicant’s DD Form 214 reflects his Primary Specialty as 
H02855 – Acquisition Aeronautical Engineer 8 years.








The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPALA recommends denial.  DPALA states records clearly show 
that the 2724 Acquisition Program Manager AFSC was not 
authorized for award in that he was not assigned against a 2724 
Program Manager position.  His AFSC has always been 2855 
Aeronautical Engineer as shown in all documents provided.  The 
applicant has failed to provide documentation clearly showing he 
was assigned to a 2724 Program Manager position and awarded the 
2724 AFSC either as a primary, secondary or third AFSC.  He 
states he performed duties as a Program Manager; however, this 
was during the time he was assigned to a 2855 Aeronautical 
Engineer position.

The DPALA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant states his Officer Performance Report dated June 
1991 – more than 15 months prior to his separation - the duty 
title is Special Activities Project Manager.  The job 
description contains “Directs a highly classified, technically 
complex program…” and “Directs 23 member management and 
technical team in support of a $10 million development program.”

Personnel records from that time period from the program office, 
AFSC/YJ, were in such disarray that the personnel chief was 
fired because the director had a highly inaccurate count of 
civil service and military members assigned to the office.  
There was an initiative to change his primary AFSC to program 
manager; however, that initiative was not pursued as he had made 
the determination to separate from the service.  Because of the 
nature of the program he managed, there is not a readily 
available paper trail.  He also provides statements from two 
branch chiefs during the time period in question.

The applicant’s response, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions and the supporting statements from the 
members of his rating chain during the contested time period are 
duly noted; however, after a thorough review of the 
documentation provided in support of his appeal we find no 
evidence of an error in this case and we are not persuaded by 
his contentions that he has been the victim of an injustice.  
There is no documentation in the applicant’s military personnel 
records or documentation provided by the applicant which show he 
was awarded the 2724 AFSC either as a primary, secondary or 
third AFSC.  We do not find the applicant’s assertions and the 
documentation presented in support of his appeal sufficiently 
persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force 
office of primary responsibility.  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 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.
