APPLICANT’S REQUEST

Her date of rank (DOR) to captain (O-3) be corrected to 1 Mar 19, and effective DOR to 16 Jun 19.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

Professional experience service credit was missing when she was accessed to active duty.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant is an Air Force captain.

On 16 Jun 19, she entered Extended Active Duty, per Special Order AH-0732, dated 23 May 19.

On 2 Feb 21, she was promoted to captain, per Special Order JB-0473, dated 2 Feb 21.

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION

AFPC/DP2N recommends granting the application.  On 5 Mar 20, the applicant was awarded additional constructive service credit changing her total service credit to 4 years, 3 months and 15 days.  This additional credit would have authorized her to enter active duty in the grade of captain.  However, AFPC is not authorized to correct her records to reflect captain without an approved Regular Captain scroll signed by the Secretary of Defense.  The applicant was appointed by the Captain CY20B (P0320B) Selection Process with a DOR of 2 Feb 21.  The Air Force Scrolling Office instructed AFPC to submit a Board for Correction of Military Records request to ratify the applicant’s captain DOR.  In accordance with AFI 36-2005, Officer Accessions, the total amount of service credit she received authorized her to enter onto active duty in the grade of captain. 

The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION

The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 6 Apr 21 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.
