IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05680
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date in rank (DOR) to the grade of airman first class (A1C/E-3) be changed to reflect his date of enlistment (DOE).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was entitled to the grade of A1C/E-3 upon entry due to having enlisted for six years in a duty air force specialty code (AFSC) which qualified for a bonus.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 31 Dec 12, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in the grade of airman basic (E-1) for a period of six years in the 1N051 DAFSC.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/A1K recommends approval. AFRC Instruction 36-2001, Air Force Reserve Recruiting Procedures, states if the applicant qualifies for the stripes for unit bonus skill enlistment option the enlistment grade authorized is E-3 and the DOR is the date of enlistment. The applicant enlisted as an E-1 in the 1N0X1 AFSC for a term of six years. AFSC 1N051 was placed on the FY13 Master Incentive Bonus List, which was approved on 2 Mar 13. Upon approval of the FY13 Master Incentive Bonus List, the members DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, and DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing, should have been corrected to reflect he was enlisting as an E-3 under the stripes for unit bonus skills enlistment option.
A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C.

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