IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-01156

				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

The rank on his DD Form 256 AF, Honorable Discharge Certificate, 
be corrected to show airman first class or E-2 rather than 
airman basic.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Upon completion of Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps 
(ROTC) program with a college degree, he should have been 
discharged as an airman first class not an airman basic.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides his DD Form 256 
and documentation from his master personnel record.

The applicantÂ’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

lieutenant colonel on 31 July 1997.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate Air Force 
office of primary responsibility and listed at Exhibit C.

_______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTT recommends denial.  The applicant was enlisted into 
the USAF Reserve (USAFR) ROTC program as an airman basic on 
22 August 1974.  He graduated on 12 May 1977.  He was appointed 
as a second lieutenant effective 13 May 1977 by Reserve Order 
PC-1566.  The order relieved him from USAFR enlisted status as 
an airman basic effective the day preceding acceptance of 
commission.  

There are no documents in his master personnel file indicating 
that he was promoted to airman or airman first class.

The complete DPTT 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 20 April 2013, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received 
no response.

________________________________________________________________

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.  We took 
notice of the available evidence of record and the applicant's 
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, 
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.  There was no evidence that the 
applicant was promoted to airman or airman first class.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to grant 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.
