APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and recommended denial.  Applicant was honorably discharged from the Air Force Reserve, on 1 Nov 00, in the grade of E-4, with an effective date/date of rank (DOR) of 23 Feb 93.  On 2 Nov 00, applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an E-3, and was given a DOR equal to her date of enlistment (DOE).  

AFI 36-2604, Service Dates and Dates of Rank, is the governing directive for computing dates of ranks.  It states airmen who have never served in a regular component will receive a DOR equal to their DOE.  

Applicant’s DOR  was computed in a consistent, fair and equitable manner according to her enlistment contract and governing directives.  She initialed and signed the contract, indicating she understood her DOR would be equal to her DOE.  

In addition, applicant was advised to contact the Ohio Army National Guard for any corrections to her total active military service date (TAFMSD).  The Air Force credited her for all active duty points as provided by the Ohio Army National Guard.  Her TAFMSD was established as 29 Dec 98.

A complete copy of the 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 21 Sep 01 for review and comment within 30 days.  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 timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's 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 and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
