IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00925 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. Her 19 Apr 08 through 5 May 08 break-in-service be removed from 
her records. 

 

2. She be offered a reenlistment bonus for the “3S2X1” career 
field. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She completed her physical on 5 Apr 08 and was told that she could 
begin participating in the Reserve program as of that date. 
However, she did not perform duty until May 08; she rescheduled her 
April drill for another date. When she inquired about her pay 
date, she was told it would be the date (19 Apr 00) she joined the 
Air Force. She later found out her pay date had been changed to 
30 Sep 00. She became very upset once she realized she had 
incurred a break-in-service. She was told her recruiter should 
have reenlisted her immediately; however, he did not and therefore 
she incurred a break in service. 

 

After reenlisting, she found out the “3S2X1” career field was on 
the bonus list; however, she was not offered the bonus. She 
believes she should receive the reenlistment bonus because she met 
the reenlistment criteria. 

 

In support of her request, applicant provides a personal statement, 
a supporting statement from her superintendent, a copy of an 
e-mail, a letter from ARPC/DPAAR, a copy of her AF IMT 1288, Application for Ready Reserve Assignment, a copy of her pay record, 
and a copy of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document 
Armed Forces of the United States. 

 

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant provides a copy of her AF IMT 1288, Application for 
Ready Reserve Assignment, which was signed by the personnel 
superintendent on 28 Mar 08 and processed by the gaining military 
personnel flight with an Estimated Date Change in Strength 
Accountability (EDCSA) date of 31 Mar 08. The applicant enlisted 
into the Air Force Reserve for 3 years on 6 May 08.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends the break-in-service be changed to 2 May 08 
versus 5 May 08. A1K acknowledges the applicant has provided 
evidence to show the existence of an administrative error. A1K 
states that if her request is approved, DPAAR should review her pay 
date and verify her reenlistment bonus eligibility. 

 

The A1K complete 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 31 Dec 09 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, this office has received no response. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of error or injustice warranting corrective action. 
We note the Air Force Reserve OPR confirms the applicant’s claim 
that an administrative error did occur and recommends approval. 
We are in agreement with their assessment. With regard to her 
reenlistment bonus eligibility, we have received confirmation from 
AFRC/A1KP that she is eligible for a reenlistment bonus. However, 
an exact amount will be determined upon a review of her records 
and based upon Air Force Reserve guidance and policy. Therefore, 
we recommend the records be corrected as indicated below. 

 

______________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she reenlisted on 
17 April 2008, rather than 6 May 2008, for a period of three (3) 
years, with a Air Force Reserve reenlistment bonus entitlement 
based upon Air Force Reserve guidance and policy.
