AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The  Director  of  Personnel  Program  Management,  HQ  ARPC/DP, 
reviewed the application and states that in early October 1992, 
the  Nonaffiliated  Reserve  Section 
after  being  tr 
(NARS) from the 
National Guard, applicant applied 
dual Mobilization Augmentee  (IMA) 
and was approve

Because of 
scheduled 
for reassignment to another reserve unit which took approximately 
four months  to process.  Because  of  the  four-month delay, the 
applicant did  not  have  a  satisfactory year for retirement year 
ending  2 9   September 1 9 9 3 .

These  are  not 
courses given by the ECI; therefore, no ECI points can be given. 
HQ ARPC/DP recommends applicant be credited with the appropriate 
number  of  points  to  reflect  a  satisfactory  year  of  Federal 
service for retirement. 

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

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.  We note that after the applicant had 
been  approved  for  an  IMA position  and  was  assigned  to McGuire 
AFB,  that  base  was  scheduled  for  closure  and  he  had  to  be 
reassigned to another reserve unit.  However, when the process of 
reassignment  started, there was  a  four-month delay  causing the 
applicant's  inability  to  perform  in  his  unit  and  earn  the 
required  number  of  retirement  points  to  qualify  for  a 
satisfactory year of Federal service.  HQ ARPC/DP states that the 
applicant's request for reassignment could have been delayed due 
to Desert Shield/Desert Storm.  In view of the length of time it 
took to process the applicant's reassignment to another reserve 
unit and  in an effort to remove any possibility of an injustice 
to  the  applicant,  we  agree  with  the  ARPC/DP  recommendation. 
Applicant's request  for eight  additional Inactive Duty Training 
(IDT) points  is not  favorably considered.  In view of  the  fact 
that his reserve point credit summary was p7eviously adjusted to 
reflect 17 Active Duty Training  (ADT) points, as indicated by the 
Lead Technician at ARPC, only six IDT points need be credited to 
give  him  a  satisfactory year  for retirement  for the  retirement 
Theref ore ,  we  recommend  his 
year  ending  2 9   September  1 9 9 3 .  
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 he was credited 
with an additional 6 non-paid Inactive Duty Training (IDT) points 
during  the  retirement/retention year  30 September  1 9 9 2   through 
2 9   September  1 9 9 3 ,   resulting  in  17  active  duty  training  (ADT) 

points, 1 8   IDT points, and 15 membership points for a total of 50 
retirement points; and, that the period 3 0   September 1 9 9 2   through 
2 9   September 1 9 9 3   is a year of satisfactory Federal service for 
retirement.

1. The requested correction cannot be accomplished administratively at this headquarters. 

2.  The applicant is requesting 8 non-paid Inactive Duty Training (IDT) points and unpaid 
retirement points for 30 September 1992 to 29 September 1993 (see attachment). 

3.  The following is an analysis of the circumstances surrounding this case: 

a.  The applicant was assigned to the 170th United States Air Force clinic, -ir 

National Guard, on 22 May 1988.  On 1 October 1992, applicant was transferred to the 
Nonaffiliated Reserve Section (NARS)’.’ Members assigned to NARS are not allowed to

4. Recommend this applicationbe approved.  The applicant’s request for reassignment could 
have been delayed due to Desert Shield/Desert Storm.  Had the applicant been approved for an 
IMA assignment the medical coursesheminars could have been apprgved for points.  In order to 
correct the applicant’s record, the board would have to award 6 non-paid IDT points.  The 
applicant’s record would then show 17 active duty points, 18 IDT points, 0 ExtensioECourse 
Institute points, 15 membership points, 50 total and retirement points and a year of satisfactory 
Federal service. 

5.  If this application is disapproved, no further action is required.
