AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04644 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His record be corrected to reflect he was retained on the 
Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) for only three 
years so that his Mandatory Separation Date (MSD) may be 
extended. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Due to multiple deaths in his family, he was named the 
Administrator/Executor of three estates. Because of this, he 
had to extend his current stay in the Inactive Reserves for 
several years. However, the workload associated with these 
responsibilities is waning and now allows him to pursue a 
reserve assignment. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are described 
in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility which is included at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ARPC/DPTT recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. On 30 Nov 05, the applicant was 
discharged from the New York Air National Guard and transferred 
to the Non-Obligated Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS). On 22 May 
07, he was transferred to ISLRS. On 7 Apr 10, the applicant was 
sent a certified notification advising him that he was pending 
separation from ISLRS and transfer to the Retired Reserve or 
discharged in accordance with the governing policy that limits 
membership in ISLRS to three years. However, since then, the 


applicant has requested and was granted seven different 
extensions to find an assignment where he could return to active 
status. While AFI 36-2115, Assignments within the Reserve 
Components, indicates that Reserve officers are generally 
assigned to ISLRS for only three years, the applicant made 
multiple requests for an extension. On 10 Jul 12, he was sent a 
letter advising him that he will be transferred to the Retired 
Reserve on his mandatory separation date (MSD) of 1 Jun 13. 

 

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTT evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant submits that his civilian position as a full-time 
Safety Manager with JetBlue Airways and the requirement to 
maintain flight proficiency precluded him from dedicating the 
required time to maintain currency and serve in his reserve 
capacity. He also reiterated that, beginning in September 2007, 
the deaths of multiple family members was the beginning of a 
series of legal issues he became responsible for handling. He 
provided additional documentation substantiating the validity of 
his responsibility to handle the estates of his deceased family 
members; however, those issues are now subsiding and he is able 
to pursue and assignment to serve in his reserve capacity. Also 
now that these issues have been resolved, he strongly desires to 
use his experience to pursue a reserve assignment with the Navy.

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, including his 
rebuttal response, 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 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 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.
