AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPAL recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. After reviewing the applicant’s military records and AFI 36-2101, they determined he was enrolled in the MC-130H Navigator Initial Qualification course as a 12M (C-130H Navigator) on the RIF accounting date. Subsequent to the RIF Board of 9 Oct 14, the applicant graduated and was awarded the 12S (MC-130H Navigator) on 24 Oct 14. As a standard policy to comply with AFI 36-2101, the gaining assignment team updated the applicant’s Core ID upon his completion of the formal training. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAL evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice warranting the applicant’s request for SSB consideration. Their evaluation was based upon the opinion of AFPC/DPAL, Line Officer Assignments Division, that the applicant’s 12M Core ID at the RIF accounting date was correct, and that in accordance with standard Air Force policy, his Core ID of 12M was updated to 12S upon completion of his formal training on 24 Oct 14.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 11 Jun 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 OPRs and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. While the applicant contends his Core ID should have been changed from 12M to 12S at the point he was approved for retraining in accordance with AFI 36-2101; AFPC/DPAL states that as a standard Air Force policy to comply with AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted, the gaining assignment team updates the Core ID upon the member’s completion of formal training. In this respect, the applicant was awarded the 12S Core ID upon graduation from the MC-130H Navigator Initial Qualification course on 24 Oct 14, fifteen days after the RIF accounting date of 9 Oct 14. 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.
