RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02450
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His grade, as reflected on his DD Form 214, Armed Force of the
United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to
reflect Airman First Class (E-4) rather than Airman Second Class
(E-3).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His promotion to Airman First Class (E-4) in 1967 is not
reflected on his DD Form 214. He earned the promotion and
believes it should be on his DD Form 214.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 Sep 64, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
By Special Order A-2383, dated 1 Oct 66, the applicant was
promoted to the grade of Airman Second Class (E-3).
On 15 Jun 67, he was honorably discharged from the Regular Air
Force in the grade of Airman Second Class (E-3), and was
credited with three years, nine months and four days of regular
active service. On 16 Jun 57, he was transferred to the Air
Force Reserve. On 11 Sep 69, he was honorably discharged from
the Air Force Reserve in the grade of Airman First Class (E-4).
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. There is no evidence found in the
applicants official records showing he was promoted to the
grade of Airman First Class (E-4) prior to his discharge. Based
on the evidence of record, his DD Form 214 accurately reflects
his grade at the time of discharge from the Regular Air Force
duty. DD Forms 214 are not issued upon discharge from the Air
Force Reserve.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOE 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 25 Aug 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 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 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.
While the applicant argues that the ultimate grade that he held
when he was discharged from the Air Force Reserve should be
reflected on his DD Form 214, said promotion was effected after
his discharge from the Regular Air Force and should therefore
not be documented on his DD Form 214. 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.
