AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant enlisted in the ANG in Jan 13. In accordance with ANGI 36-2002, Enlistment and Reenlistment in the Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the Air Force, Table 1.5, if an applicant is non-prior service (NPS), the term of enlistment will be six years. Individuals enlisting onto active duty for six years are authorized the grade of A1C, but this authority does not apply to ANG members. ANGI 36-2002, Table 1.6 identifies grade determination of NPS enlistees and confirms the applicant does not meet any of the requirements listed in the Table to authorize a grade increase to A1C. The applicant does not qualify for A1C.

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.
