RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05115
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	BRIAN A. MCMILLEN	HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect his enlistment pay grade as E-6 instead of E-4.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The Air Force Reserve recruiter made a mistake in determining his enlistment grade.  He previously held the pay grade of E-
6 and believes that he should have enlisted as an E-6.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty; DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States; NGB Form 22, Report of Separation and 
Record of Service; birth certificate, orders and various other documents associated with his request.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to Special Order 149-058, dated 29 May 2001, the applicant was promoted to the pay grade of E-6 effective 1 June 2001.

According to NGB Form 337, Oath of Office, on 11 August 2001, the applicant was administered the Oath of Office and appointed 
as a second lieutenant in the Army National Guard.

According to Special Order 170-003, dated 19 June 1003, the applicant was honorably separated from the Army National Guard effective 30 June 2003.

According to DD Form 4, on 31 May 2013, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in the pay grade of E-4 for a period of four years.





AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/RSOO recommends approval.  A review of the applicant’s 
records reflect that he was promoted to the advanced grade of E-
6 as a prerequisite for attending Officer Candidate School.  In 
accordance with AFRCI 36-2001, Air Force Reserve Recruiting 
Procedures, “If an applicant last served as an officer or 
warrant officer (Regular or Reserve), then the enlistment grade 
authorized is any previously held enlistment grade E-5 or higher 
(serving in an enlisted pay grade as a prerequisite to 
commissioning satisfies the requirement for prior service 
enlisted status).”

The complete RSOO evaluation is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 17 January 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting 
relief.  Having carefully reviewed this application, we agree with the recommendation of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has been the victim of 
either an error or an injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be corrected as set forth below.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that, on 31 May 
2013, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in the pay grade of E-6 for a period of four years.
