COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Block II of her DD Form 2839, Career Status Bonus (CSB) Election, 
be changed to reflect “Eligible to elect the Career Status Bonus” 
rather than “Not eligible to elect the Career Status Bonus.” 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She is an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) and recently made career 
status; therefore, she is now eligible to elect CSB. 

 

The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of her 
appeal. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records are not available for 
review. On 18 March 2011, SAF/MRBR contacted the applicant 
asking her to provide a copy of the DD Form 2839 in question. 
However, to this date, they have received no response. 

 

According to AFRC/CSS (Air Force Reserve Command, Chief Personnel 
Programs) the applicant has been extended to a Total Active 
Military Service Date of 15 July 2012.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/CSS recommends denial. CSS states that in accordance with 
Air Force Instruction 36-2132, paragraph 2.7.3.1.3, a member must 
have completed 15 years of active duty in Uniformed Services, be 
eligible to be selected to continue on active duty until 
completion of 20 years of service, and have executed a written 
agreement to remain on continuous active duty until completion of 
20 years of active duty in order to be eligible for CSB. 

 


CSS indicates that in 2007 (CSB eligibility year), the applicant 
was not granted a CSB because she had not been an AGR for six 
years to qualify. She is not currently in career status. There 
is no documentation supporting her request to retroactively be 
awarded a CSB as she was ineligible at the time of election. 

 

The complete AFRC/CSS 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 4 March 2011, 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
