XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:   NONE
	
	HEARING:  YES

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Upon his promotion to Colonel, his Mandatory Date of Separation be updated to 30 Sep 30.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was given constructive credit for his 10 years as a Chief Warrant Officer Two (CW2) with the United States Army for a Total Active Federal Commissioned Service Date of 28 Aug 90.  This precludes him from serving 30 years active commissioned service with the Air Force.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a currently serving Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2LT recommends denying the application.  The applicant’s service as an Army CW2 counts toward active commissioned service in accordance with Title 10, Sections 101 and 571.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 24 May 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was 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 or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2LT and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to the Board’s understanding of the issues involved.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.

The application was adjudicated without a personal appearance.
