AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05059 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Date of Rank (DOR) to the grade of Airman (E-2) be changed 
to 11 May 10. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

There is confusion as to whether her DOR to E-2 is 11 May 10 or 
14 Jan 11. She initially entered the Air Force as an E-2 on 
11 May 10 and that should be her correct DOR. She had a break 
in service from 4 Nov 10 until 14 Jan 11, at which time she 
reenlisted in the Reserve. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant initially entered the regular Air Force on 
11 May 10. 

 

On 4 Nov 10, she was furnished an Entry Level Separation with 
uncharacterized service. 

 

On 14 Jan 11, the applicant enlisted in the AF Reserve. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice. The applicant had a 2 month and 10 day 
break in service. In accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2604, Service 
Dates and Dates of Rank, her DOR to E-2 should have been 
adjusted from its original date of 11 May 10 to 21 Jul 10 to 


account for the break in service. IAW the Air Force Reserve 
Enlisted Promotion Policy, Reservists are promoted to E-3 when 
they have six months time-in-grade (TIG) and are approved by the 
promotion authority. Therefore, the applicant’s correct DOR to 
E-3 should be 21 Jan 11, six months after 21 Jul 10. For 
promotion to E-4, Reservists must have eight months TIG and one 
year of satisfactory service. Therefore, her correct DOR to E-4 
is 21 Sep 11, eight months after 21 Jul 11. The applicant’s 
promotion history in the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) 
accurately reflects her DOR to E-4 as 21 Sep 11. Recommend 
denial of the applicant’s request. 

 

A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K 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 28 May 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 of injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief requested. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
