APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to reflect that he was promoted to Airman First Class (A1C) during the period 28 Aug 14 through 14 Sep 14.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was told he would be eligible for promotion to A1C following receipt of a Change of Reporting Official Enlisted Performance Report in Aug 14.  He transferred to the Air National Guard on 30 Sep 14, and upon checking his records, found there was no change in his rank.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SPP recommends denying the application.  There is no evidence of the applicant’s commander recommending promotion to A1C prior to the applicant’s separation from the Air Force on 14 Sep 14.  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 8 Apr 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 AFPC/DP2SPP 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.
