APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing, states she was supposed to be promoted to Senior Airman (E-4) upon completion of Technical School Phase 2 training.  She completed training on 20 Jul 15.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

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

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 13 Sep 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 the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFRC/A1K and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

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.
