MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF

	Under the authority of Section 1552, Title 10, United States Code and Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and having assured compliance with the provisions of the above regulation, the decision of the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records is announced, and it is directed that:

	The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:

		a.  On 13 November 2002, by competent authority, the portion of the nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, imposed on 25 September 2001, pertaining to his reduction to the grade of airman first class (E-3), be, and hereby is, set-aside.

		b.  It is further directed that he be provided supplemental consideration for promotion to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5) for the 03E5 cycle.

	If AFPC discovers any adverse factors during or subsequent to supplemental consideration that are separate and apart, and unrelated to the issues involved in this application, that would have rendered the applicant ineligible for the promotion, such information will be documented and presented to the Board for a final determination on the individual's qualifications for the promotion.

	If supplemental promotion consideration results in the selection for promotion to the higher grade, immediately after such promotion, the records shall be corrected to show that he was promoted to the higher grade on the date of rank established by the supplemental promotion and that he is entitled to all pay, allowances, and benefits of such grade as of that date.
