RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05000

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His previous Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) of 2A656 be added 
back into his military personnel record.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes this was not done maliciously but an administrative 
error performed by his Unit Training Manager (UTM).

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the grade of Master 
Sergeant (E-7) in the Regular Air Force.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIC recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The AFSC downgrade schedule for an 
awarded 5-skill level AFSC to the 3-skill level follows four 
years nonperformance in the AFSC.  This is reflected in AFI 36-
2101, Classification of Military Personnel (Officer and 
Enlisted) Paragraph 4.1.2.2 and Table 4.1.  Further, paragraph 
4.1.2.3.3. stipulates, in part “Failure to downgrade or withdraw 
AFSCs within the specified time frame does not indicate the 
Airman remains qualified and will be deleted upon discovery.  
The applicant’s last documented performance in AFSC 2A656, as 
evidenced by the copies of EPRs was May 1999.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIC 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 26 Feb 15, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  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 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 of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
