RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01143
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His active duty enlistment grade of senior airman (E-3) be
elevated to technical sergeant (E-6).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His grade should be commensurate with his leadership experience,
training, and job knowledge acquired from his more than 16 years
of service in the Air National Guard (ANG).
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Air National Guard (ANG) on
on 24 May 93 and was progressively promoted to the grade of
technical sergeant (E-6), effective and with a date of rank
(DOR) 23 Feb 06.
On 10 Feb 10, the applicant was authorized a conditional release
to enlist in the Regular Air Force.
On 23 Mar 10, the applicant was honorably discharged from the
ANG and was credited with 16 years and 10 months of total
reserve service.
On 24 Mar 10, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of airman first class (E-3) for the purpose of
enlisting in the Regular Air Force for a period of four years.
According to AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank,
enlistment grade of members with prior ANG or Reserve service is
determined by Total Active Federal Military Service (TAFMS) at
the time of enlistment.
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. According to Air Force Instruction
36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank, paragraph 2.2, dated 5
Oct 12, Enlisted members in the following categories receive a
date or rank equal to the date of enlistment in RegAF: Nonprior
service enlistees; prior service enlistees who have served less
than 24 months total active federal military service; former
members of a regular component enlisting on or after their sixth
anniversary of their date of separation; reservist who enlisted
in a pay grade higher than last grade held in a regular
component and Reservists who have never served in a regular
component. Although the applicant was in the ANG for 16 years,
his total active service is computed as 1 year and 29 days. In
order to be accessed in the grade of E-6, he must have had 10
years TAFMS.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant requests that his job performance, supporting
statements, and qualifications be considered by the Board in
evaluating his request (Exhibit E).
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. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicants
complete submission, we are not convinced that corrective action
is warranted. While the applicant contends that he should have
been allowed to enlist in the Regular Air Force in a higher
grade in recognition of his service with the Air National Guard
(ANG) in the grade of technical sergeant, we are not convinced
the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. In
this respect, we note that according to AFI 36-2002, enlistment
grade of prior ANG and Reserve members in the Regular Air Force
is determined by total active federal military service (TAFMS).
Therefore, in the absence of any evidence the applicants TAFMS
was erroneously calculated or that an error was made in
determining his enlistment grade in the Regular Air Force, 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.
