_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be given a waiver of the promotion eligibility cutoff date (PECD) for cycle 07E6.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Poor timing prevented him from receiving briefings explaining his reenlistment options pertaining to testing eligibility.

In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of Transition Assistance program documents relative to his separation.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on 21 November 1991 and was progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant.  On 26 September 2002, he was commissioned a second lieutenant and was promoted to the grade of captain.  On 29 September 2006, he was honorably released as a captain due to officer force shaping.  He reenlisted on 26 February 2007 and was accessed in the rank of staff sergeant with a date of rank of 27 November 1998, and currently serves in that grade.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPWB recommends the applicant’s request be denied.  DPPPWB states in part, based on his enlistment date of 26 February 2007, he was not eligible for promotion consideration during cycle 07E6 according to AFI 36-2502, Table 2.1, Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Promotion.  Airmen must serve on active duty in enlisted status as of the PECD (31 December 2006 for cycle 07E6).

The DPPPWB 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 15 June 2007 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 error or injustice.  After a thorough review of the applicant’s submission to include his contention that he was not thoroughly counseled on his enlistment options, we are not persuaded that the relief requested should be granted.  We took notice of the complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the member has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, we find no compelling basis to warrant favorable consideration of the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of 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.
