RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05714
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect his enlistment pay grade as 
E-3 instead of E-1.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He completed two years of Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) 
during high school which made him eligible to enlist in the Air 
Force at the pay grade of E-3.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of 
the United States and his official high school transcript.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4, on 5 June 2009, he 
enlisted in the Air National Guard (ANG) in the pay grade of E-
1 for a period of eight years.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PP recommends denial.  ANGI 36-2002, Enlistment and 
Reenlistment in the Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the 
Air Force, Table 1.6, Rule 3 states that if a member has 
completed the entire three year high school ROTC program, is a 
high school graduate, presents official certification of 
completion from the service component or the school conducting 
the program, then the enlistment grade authorized is E-3.  
However, Rule 7 does authorize a member to enlist in the grade 
of E-2 after completing at least two years of ROTC.  

While the applicant’s request is valid, he should have enlisted 
in the pay grade of E-2 since he only completed two years of a 
ROTC program.  Conversely, NGB/A1PP does not find any equities 
in changing the applicant’s initial enlistment paperwork to 
reflect him enlisting as an E-2, as he is already promoted to 
the grade of E-5.  Changing his enlistment rank will not change 
his date of rank or years of service. 

Should the Board recommend changing the initial enlistment 
information; his record should be corrected to show that he 
enlisted in the grade of E-2. 

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 24 January 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit C).


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 to warrant 
partial relief.  We note the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility states the applicant should have been promoted to 
the grade of E-2 yet recommends denial because his enlistment 
grade will not change his current DOR or years of service.  
While it may not affect his current grade, changing the 
applicant’s enlistment grade to E-2 will entitle him to pay in 
the higher grade.  Therefore, in view of the foregoing and in an 
effort to remove any possibility of an injustice to the 
applicant, we recommend his enlistment grade be changed to E-
2 effective 5 June 2009.  We note the applicant request his 
enlistment grade be changed to E-3; however, the available 
evidence only supports changing it to the grade of E-2. 
Accordingly, we recommend his records be corrected to the extent 
indicated below. 


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 5 June 
2009, he enlisted in the Air National Guard in the pay grade E-
2 rather than E-1.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR BC-2013-
05714 in Executive Session on 9 March 2015, under the provisions 
of AFI 36-2603:
