AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant carried forward 75.0 days 
of leave at the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 10. During FY10, 
she earned 25 days of leave and used 29 days of leave. Although 
the applicant lost 30 days leave at the end of FY10, AFI 36-
3003, Military Leave Program, paragraph 10.9.7., requires the 
applicant to clearly establish that an error or injustice by the 
Air Force caused the member’s lost leave. On 28 Jun 11, 


AFPC/DPSIM requested additional documentation from the member 
that shows the Air Force caused the loss of leave. The 
applicant did not submit the requested documentation. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM 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 3 Dec 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 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 
(OPR) and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
Other than her own assertions, she has provided no evidence to 
indicate that an error on the part of the Air Force caused her 
to lose her leave. 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
