STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from

Primary Responsibility  (OPR) .  Accordingly, there is no need to

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The Chief, Skills Management Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed the 
application and states that the applicant was erroneously advised 
to extend his enlistment for 48 months and collect an SRB Zone B, 
Multiple 1 upon entering the extension.  The SRB is paid only if 
the applicant enters the extension prior to obtaining 10 years of 
Applicant  went  over  the  10  years  of  service  on 
service. 
8 October  1995  and  entered  the  extension  on  30  January  1997. 
Therefore,  he  was  not  entitled  to  the  SRB. 
HQ  AFPC/DPPAE 
recommends  the  applicant's  extension  be  voided  and  he  be 
reenlisted effective 15 June 1994 for six years.  Applicant would 
not be entitled to a full six years of SRB as he requests due to 
obligated service he had based on an original separation date of 
29 January 1997. 

A  complete  copy  of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  is  attached  at 
Exhibit C. 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR STAFF EVALUATION: 

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
,applicant on 11 May 1 9 9 8   for review and response within 30 days. 
'As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

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  probable  error  or  injustice 
warranting partial relief.  It appears that the applicant needed 
to extend his current enlistment or reenlist in the Regular Air 
Force  to  qualify  for  a  permanent  change  of  station  (PCS) 
assignment.  He was informed that by  reenlisting, he would  lose 
27 months of a Selective Reenlistment Bonus  (SRB) and that if he 
extended his  current enlistment, he would be  authorized a  full 
Zone  B, Multiple  1 SRB.  Applicant  then  extended  his  current 
enlistment believing he would receive the full SRB.  However, by 
extending his current reenlistment, the amount of time would be 
over ten years and  the  applicant would  not  be  entitled  to  the 
SRB.  Applicant was erroneously informed with regard to the SRB 
entitlement.  HQ AFPC/DPPAE  states that  had  the  applicant  not 
been misinformed, he could have reenlisted; however, he would not 
be  entitled to the  full six years of  the SRB due  to obligated 
service he had based on an original separati6n date of 2 9   January 
1 9 9 7 .   He would be entitled to receive an SRB Zone B, Multiple 1 
payable  for  three  years  and  four  months. 
In  view  of  the 
erroneous information the applicant received, and to remove any 
possibility of an injustice to the applicant, we agree with the 
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommendation.  Applicant's request for a full SRB 
entitlement is not favorably considered in view of the obligated 
service he had based on an original separation date.  Therefore, 
we  recommend his  records be  corrected  to  the  extent  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: 

2 

a.  The extension of his 3 0   January 1991 enlistment executed 

on 15 June 1994, for a period of 48 months, be declared void. 

b.  He  was  honorably  discharged  on  14  June  1994  and 
reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 15 June 1994 for a period 
of six years with entitlement to a Zone B, Multiple 1, Selective 
Reenlistment Bonus  (SRB) payable for three years and four months.

SUBJECT: 

Records 

The applicant is requesting cancellation of a 48 month extension and replaced with a 

constructive reenlistment with subsequent entitlement to a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 

The applicant was erroneously advised to extend his enlistment for 48 months and collect 

an SRB Zone By Mult 1, upon entering the extension. The SRB is paid only if the applicant 
enters the extension prior to obtaining 10 years of service.  In this case, the applicant went over 
10 years service on 8 Oct 95 and entered the extension on 30 Jan 97.  As such, he was not 
entitled to the SRB.  Recommend the applicant’s extension approved on 15 Jun 94 be voided.  A 
constructive reenlistment should be granted effective 15 Jun 94 for six years.  The AF Form 90 1 , 
Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4, Section III@) should reflect an SRB Zone By 
Mult 1 , payable for three years and four months.  The applicant is not entitled to the full six years 
due to obligated service he had based on an original separation date of 29 Jan 97.
