RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00479
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her initial enlistment grade of E-2 (Airman) be corrected to E-3
(Airman First Class).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her recruiter did not take all of her education into account
when she joined. She went through two years of Junior Reserve
Officers Training School (JROTC) in high school and one year of
Reserve Officers Training School (ROTC) in college and should
have entered into the Air Force as an E-3 (Airman First Class).
She was not informed of her option to enlist as an E-3 until
several years later when she discovered the information in an
on-line article about Air Force enlistments.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the grade of E-4 (Senior
Airman).
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 14 Apr
09. The applicant signed and initialed all parts of her AF Form
3007, Guaranteed Training Enlistment Agreement Non-Prior Service
United States Air Force, Section 1, part A which reflects the
applicant agreed to enlist in the Regular Air Force in the pay
grade of E-2. It continues to read that she was counseled on
her enlistment grade entitlement and have no claim to a higher
grade.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The applicant provided transcripts
from the University of Marquette having acquired 43 credits and
certified high school transcripts showing she took and completed
two years of JROTC.
In determining a members enlistment grade only one rule can
apply per enlistment. The rule applied is the one which allows
the member to enlist under the highest grade possible. In
accordance with AFRSI 36-2001, Recruiting Procedures for the Air
Force, Table 2.1., Enlistment Grade Determination and Factors,
the applicant only met the criteria to enlist in the pay grade
of E-2 (Airman).
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant was unaware that she was required to submit an
official letterhead from her JROTC unit commander at the high
school attended and/or from the professor of aerospace science
at the college attended, stating satisfactory completion. She
is more than willing to get these documents if given the
opportunity.
She submits that she meets the requirements in the AFPC/DPSIPE
Advisory to have enlisted in the Air Force as an E-3 (Airman
First Class) and feels it is right to adjust what her recruiter
overlooked. She has full faith in the military records approval
process and looks forward to a 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 applicants complete submission, to include her
rebuttal comments, in judging the merits of the case; however,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale
as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the
victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the requested relief.
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.
