RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03532 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He receive Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) for Fiscal Year 2011 (FY11) in the amount of $10,000. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He applied for the ACP entitlement on 1 Oct 10; however, the NDAA was not signed into law until February 2011. As such, he was informed that he must submit an application for correction of his records in order to receive the ACP entitlement. In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his ACP package. His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard (ANG) in the grade of major (0-4). The applicant’s Fiscal Year 2011 Navigator and Combat System Operator Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) Agreement Statement of Understanding, dated 12 Apr 11, reflects he elected Option C - $10,000/Yr (RC-26 Counter Drug CSOs and RPA Operators only). _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: NGB/A1PF states that after reviewing the applicant’s eligibility for ACP, they have concluded that, as presented, he is ineligible and should not be permitted to request, execute, or be paid for the FY11 ACP agreement. However, A1PF acknowledges that in order to properly determine his eligibility, they need the following documents: a. Signed ACP Agreement (all signatures, initials, blocks completed). b. Current set of orders. c. Current Aeronautical Order. d. ACP Coordinator spreadsheet showing requested dates, TAFMS and retirement eligibility date. e. Proof of Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) graduation date (typically an Individual Data Summary – IDS), proof receiving ACIP (Flight pay). f. All documents pertaining to any previous ACP agreements (if applicable). The current submission is missing the ACP Coordinator spreadsheet and proof of UFT Graduation (IDS). If the applicant provides the missing documents, A1PF will review his case again. The complete NGB/A1PF evaluation is at Exhibit B. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant responded by providing the missing documents requested by NGB/A1PF. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 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 error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we have been advised by NGB/A1PF that the applicant did not meet ANG FY11 ACP eligibility requirements, as he did not complete Undergraduate Navigator Training (UNT) until 16 October 2000. In accordance with governing policy, in order to be eligible, he must have served 10 years after completing either UNT or Undergraduate Flying Training. The applicant’s current ACP request is to start ACP on 1 October which is 15 days prior to him becoming eligible. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-03532 in Executive Session on 23 Feb 12, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
