RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04166
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her Verification of Military Experience and Training (VMET)
be corrected.
2. She be reconsidered for promotion to the rank of master
sergeant (MSgt, E-7) based on merit and sustained superior
performance.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her VMET contains erroneous information and should be corrected.
Between 2008 through 2010, she requested numerous times to
demonstrate her supervisory skills. However, she was not given
this opportunity to succeed or fail as a leader because she was
indispensable in her assigned duty. Nevertheless, she is
qualified based upon her record of performance.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force at Exhibits B and C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PP recommends denial of the applicants request to be
reconsidered for promotion to the rank of MSgt. A1PP states
that after reviewing the documentation submitted by the
applicant and the attached Congressional response from the Texas
Joint Force Headquarters, dated 4 Nov 2010, they were not able
to substantiate that an error or injustice occurred in this
case. Her chain of command determined that she had not
performed up to the level for promotion to the rank of MSgt.
Moreover, in accordance with ANGI 36-2502, Promotion of Airmen,
Table 2.1, rule 6, she did not have the requisite retainability
(12 months) for promotion to the rank of MSgt.
The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit B.
AFPC/DPFFF recommends denial of the applicants request to
correct her VMET. DPFFF states that the VMET is not a source
document to be used for promotions, awards, or formal
documentation. It is an extract from the Personnel Data System
provided by the Air Force Personnel Center and other Services to
assist transitioning personnel with resumes and employment
preparation. If the applicant feels the information is
incorrect, her records should be disputed, not the VMET.
The complete DPFFF evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 21 Jan 2013, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant 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 opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion 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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
