APPLICANT’S REQUEST.  That her rank be changed from airman (E2) to senior airman (E4).

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.  She was promoted to E-4, and her records should reflect her rank as E4 rather than E2.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 18 January 2018 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1.  The application was not timely filed.

2. The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3. After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error and injustice.  The Board concurs with AFRC/A1KK and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the APPLICANT’s contentions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS: The applicant be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the matter will only be reconsidered upon the submission of relevant evidence not considered with this application.
