The AF Form 1411 reflects a Zone A multiple 4.0 bonus was never paid or received. In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his AF Form 1411 and a two-page excerpt from Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2606, Reenlistment In The United States Air Force. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5). His Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) is 7 Aug 07. On 7 Aug 07, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force for six years, establishing a Date of Separation (DOS) of 6 Aug 13. On 9 Nov 11, the applicant extended his enlistment for 30 months, for the purpose of Permanent Change of Station (PCS), establishing a new DOS of 6 Feb 16. In accordance with AFI 36-2606, paragraph 5.1.2.2, six year enlistees, serving in the grade of Senior Airman (SrA, E-4) or higher must have at least 60 consecutive months on their current enlistment, have an approved Career Job Reservation (CJR) and meet all other requirements in order to reenlist. At the time the applicant extended his enlistment, he had only served 51 consecutive months of his six-year enlistment and was not eligible to reenlist. In accordance with AFI 36-2606, paragraph 3.1.1.2, six-year enlistees enter their CJR window on the first duty day of the month they complete 59 months, but not later than the last duty day of the month they complete 67 months. The applicant did not enter his CJR window until Jul 12. In the fifth counseling statement of Section IV on the AF Form 1411, the applicant indicated that he understood that he could receive a zone A multiple 4.0 SRB, if he extended for a period between 36 and 48 months even though less retainability was required. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there was no evidence of an error or injustice. The applicant was properly briefed on his options in reference to receiving a SRB and clearly did not meet all the reenlistment requirements, such as Time In Service (TIS) and having an approved CJR. The applicant was made aware that in order to receive a SRB, he would have had to extend between 36 and 48 months even though less retainability was needed for his PCS. Additionally, the applicant initialed the second counseling statement in section IV of the AF Form 1411, indicating he understood that as a six-year enlistee, if he did not reenlist before entering the extension, he would lose all claim to the Zone A SRB, if authorized. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA 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 29 Oct 13 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 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 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-03513 in Executive Session on 15 May 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
