RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00881
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect his prior service as active
service.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Cadets are full active
duty Air Force while in attendance. He is now in the Army and
this error has caused his current pay grade and time in service
to be inaccurate.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was a USAFA cadet from 28 Jun 07 to 4 Dec 09, and
is now enlisted in the United States Army.
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:
USAFA/A1A recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The applicant has not exhausted all
available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking
correction of his military records. A possible avenue of relief
has been determined that should be sufficient to adjust the
applicants service dates without generating a correction to his
DD Form 214.
A complete copy of the USAFA/A1A 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 28 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has not 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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
However, the Army Personnel Office that is assisting the
applicant should take the statement in Block 18 of his DD Form
214 as proof that he was in fact a cadet at a service academy
during that time period. That statement in conjunction with Air
Force Instruction 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank, and
Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation 7000.14-R,
Volume 7A, should be sufficient information to adjust his
service dates. If the applicant is unsuccessful in being
credited for this time towards his Army rank, he should appeal
to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records for relief.
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.

The board finds the member unfit for duty at this time and he should be placed on the TDRL and re-evaluated in 18 months. The applicant contends that he is fit for duty and there is no reason to question the Commandant of Cadets who indicated the applicant was fulfilling all duties required of cadets at the time he was placed on TDRL.
