APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

A half (.5) day of leave lost during fiscal year (FY) 2011 be 
restored.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to an extensive temporary duty (TDY) schedule during the 
FY11 Thunderbird’s Air Demonstration Show season, he was unable 
to schedule and take enough leave to avoid losing his leave.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of a 
signed letter from his commander with an AF IMT 330, Records 
Transmittal/Request.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.  

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Staff Sergeant (SSgt), E-5.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval.  DPSIM states the applicant lost 
0.5 days [sic] of leave at the end of FY11.  He carried forward 
75.5 days of leave at the beginning of FY11, earned 30 days of 
leave during FY11, and used 30 days of leave during FY11.  

In accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, 
paragraph 10.9, states in part, members not eligible for special 
leave accrual (SLA) can request recovery of days lost by 
submitting a DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military 
Records under the Provision of Title 10, U.S.C. Section 1552. If 
the Board restores leave to the current leave account, the 
applicant must use these days before the end of the current FY.  

The complete 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 14 December 2012 for review and comment within 30 
days (Exhibit C).  To date, a response has not been received.  

________________________________________________________________

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 to warrant 
relief.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission 
in judging the merits of the case and we agree with the opinion 
and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility that correction of the applicant’s leave account 
is warranted.  Accordingly, we recommend that his 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 one-half 
(0.5) day of leave be restored to his account commencing on 
2 October 2013.
