RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01361 

 INDEX CODE: 110.02 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to reflect that he was separated on 12 Aug 07 
rather than 11 Aug 07, and that he served four years and one day 
of active service rather than four years. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His DD Form 214 is incorrect and deprives him the right to 
receive 01-E (Officer with over four years enlisted service) 
special pay. Since he reenlisted during the third year of his 
enlistment, and his class did not start until 27 Aug 07, there 
was no need for him to be separated at the four year point. Top 
members of his chain of command vigorously proofread his 
application which reflected the proper separation date. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant submits copies of his 
DD Form 214, AF IMT 56, Application and Evaluation for Training 
Leading to a Commission in the United States Air Force, and an 
Enlisted Commissioning Program Return Letter. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records reflect that he 
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 12 Aug 03 and was 
progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman. On 
6 Oct 06, he submitted an application to participate in an 
Enlisted Commissioning Program. His application was approved 
and he was assigned a class start date of 27 Aug 07. 

 

On 11 Aug 07, he was discharged to enter the Scholarships for 
Outstanding Airman to Reserve Officer Training Corp (SOAR) 
Program. He entered the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corp 


(ROTC) Program on 12 Oct 07, and on 28 Aug 09, he completed the 
program, and was commissioned a second lieutenant. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of 
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states there is no evidence 
to support the applicant should have been separated on 
12 Aug 07. His records indicate he separated on the completion 
of his contractual obligation as correctly reflected on his 
DD Form 214. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation, is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. DPSIPV indicates there is no 
error associated with the applicant’s service dates or the 
amount of service reflected on his DD Form 214. He only served 
four years of service and does not qualify for the special rate 
of basic pay. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 22 Oct 10, for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit E). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. The 
applicant's complete submission was thoroughly reviewed and his 
contentions were duly noted. However, we agree with the 
opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPR) and adopt their rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error 
or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the 


contrary, we find no 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 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.
