RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01530
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, item 11, Primary Specialty, reflect 3E831 - Explosive
Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Helper, 1 year and 2 months and 2F031 -
Fuels Apprentice, 2 years and 1 month.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served in the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 3E831 for 1
year and 2 months while awaiting his top secret security
clearance. He worked at Eglin AFBs EOD shop for over 1 year
and his orders to Seymour-Johnson AFB were placed on hold until
the final procedures of his clearance were complete. He waited
a year before being reassigned to another AFSC. During that
year he took part in the everyday operations of the EOD shop and
his AFSC was 3E831.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 12 February
2002.
On 1 June 2005, the applicant was honorably discharged in the
grade of senior airman under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208 (Miscellaneous General Reasons). He served 3 years,
3 months and 20 days on active duty.
The applicants DD Form 214 with a separation date of 1 June
2005, item 11, Primary Specialty, reflect 2F051, Fuels
Journeyman, 3 years and 3 months.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIC recommends denial. DPSIC states the applicant was
eliminated from the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD)
apprentice course (initial skills training (IST)) and therefore
was never awarded or performed duty in AFSC 3E831. This is
evidenced by the AF Form 899, Request and Authorization for
Permanent Change of Station - Military, dated 27 May 2003 in his
Automated Records Management System (ARMS) record. DPSIC have
no date of elimination from the 3E831 course, but this document
does contain the class start date of 24 June 2003 for his
retraining AFSC of 2F031, Fuels Apprentice.
Absent a date of elimination from the EOD course and class start
date for any prior EOD training course, they are unable to
determine if the applicant performed duty in AFSC 3E811, EOD
Helper, as a student for 12 months or more, as required by
Section 11 of the DD Form 214. Following course elimination,
IST eliminees may not be discharged (commander's discretion),
but eligible for retraining and qualifying for specific AFSCs,
are considered if and when quotas were available. Airmen have
waited anywhere from less than 30 days to 12 months or more to
be selected for and enter training in a future IST class.
The complete DPSIC evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 3 October 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within
30 days (Exhibit C). 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 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. The
applicants contentions are duly noted; 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 that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. Therefore, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicants case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
