RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01055
			OUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Air Force Form 3008, Supplement to Enlistment Agreement, 
United States Air Force, Block E, dated 6 Dec 11, be changed to 
reflect that he enlisted in the pay grade of E-3.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He met the basic eligibility requirements to enlist in the pay 
grade of E-3 per AFRSI 36-2001, Recruiting Procedures for the 
Air Force, Chapter 2.22.  He met the requirement of having a 
minimum of 45 college semester credits prior to his initial 
enlistment, but due to no fault of his own the updated 
transcript was not made available to the recruiter. 

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 6 Dec 11, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force in the 
grade of E-1.  He is currently serving in the grade of E-3.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  In accordance with AFRSI 36-2001, 
members will enlist under the pay grade E-3/A1C if they have 
satisfactorily completed 45 semesters hours or 67 quarter hours 
of credit from an accredited, degree-granting institution listed 
in the applicable Accredited Institutions of Post-Secondary 
Education (AIPE) directory for last year attended.   

The applicant provided transcripts from the University of 
Maryland University College and from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical 
University showing completion of 32 and 10 semester hours 
respectively.  The status of one course, Dantes Substance Abuse, 
has not been given an accreditation or grade by the University 
per the transcript.  Therefore, he has a total of 42 college 
credits, not the 45 needed.  

The complete DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation(s) was forwarded to the 
applicant on 5 May 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 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 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 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.


The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-01055 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 3 Mar 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIP, dated 5 May 14.
