His Date of Rank (DOR) to the grade of Airman First Class (A1C,
E-3) of 1 Nov 12 be changed to match his Total Active Federal
Military Service Date (TAFMSD) of 18 Jun 11.
________________________________________________________________

On 26 Jun 09, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in the grade
of A1C. His TAFMSD was adjusted to 18 Jun 11, to account for

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
special orders from the Military Entrance Processing Station
(MEPS), AF Form 3006, Enlistment Agreement Prior
Service/Active USAFR/ANG-United States Air Force; DD Form 4,
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United

________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 26 Jun 09, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of A1C.
On 27 May 11, the applicant was promoted to the grade of Senior
Airman (SrA, E-4), with a DOR and effective date of 1 Jun 11.
On 31 Oct 12, the applicant was honorably discharged from the
Air Force Reserve and on 1 Nov 12, he enlisted in the Regular
Air Force. According to a Prior Service Date of Rank
Validation, dated 5 Nov 12, the applicants grade was
established as A1C, effective 1 Nov 12 in which he is currently
serving.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and
Dates of Rank, paragraph 2.2 states, Enlisted in the following
categories receive a DOR equal to the date of enlistment in
RegAF (Note: Reserve enlistees must meet the TAFMS criteria for
grade): Nonprior service enlistees; prior service enlistees who
have served less than 24 months TAFMS; former members of a
regular component enlisting on or after their 6th anniversary of
their DOS; reservist who enlisted in a pay grade higher than
last grade held in a regular component and reservist who have
never served in a regular component.
After a thorough review of the member's military personnel
record and other supporting documentation, there appears to not
be an error or injustice in determining the applicants DOR in
contrast with his TAFMSD. Following the guidance from AFI 36-
2604, DPSIPE recommends the Board to deny this request.
The complete DPSIPE 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 14 Mar 14 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. The evidence
reflects the applicant was a reservist who never served in a
regular component, therefore, IAW AFI 36-2604, his DOR was
established to equal his TAFMSD. In view of this, 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 the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice. 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.
