AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1PO recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. In accordance with Air National Guard 
Instruction (ANGI) 36-2002, Enlistment and Reenlistment in the 
Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the Air Force, documents 
presented after enlistment processing is completed may not be 
used as a basis for changing the enlistment grade. 
Additionally, the applicant must have completed at least 45 
semester hours or 67-quarter hours of accredited junior 
college/college credits in order to qualify for accession at the 



higher grade. However, according to the transcripts provided 
with the applicant’s request, she was not eligible for accession 
in the requested grade. The applicant submitted official 
academic transcripts from University of New Hampshire (UNH) and 
Great Bay Community College (GBCC). The UNH transcript shows a 
total of 41 semester credits as of 29 May 09. However, the GBCC 
transcript indicates that not all of her credits transferred; 
therefore, the applicant does not meet the requirements 
indicated in ANGI 36-2002, Table 1.6, to have been accessed in 
the grade of A1C. 

 

A complete copy of the NGB/A1PO 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 11 Jan 13 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an 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 
(OPR) and adopt its 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
