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 applicants 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 applicants 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 applicants 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
applicants 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.
