AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AUG  1 9  

IN THE MATTER OF: 

M 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-01116 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant requests that 21 days of leave be restored to his leave 
account.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 
The  appropriate Air  Force  office evaluated applicant's request 
and provided an advisory opinion to the Board  recommending the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit B).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit C). 
Applicant's response to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit D. 
After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available evidence of  record, we  find insufficient evidence  of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinions appear to be  based  on 
the evidence of record and have not been adequately rebutted by 
applicant. 
Absent  persuasive  evidence  applicant  was  denied 
rights  to  which  entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not 
followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no 
basis to disturb the existing record. 
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 
Members of the Board Mr. Douglas J. Heady, Tr. Joseph G. Diamond, 
and Mr. Henry Romo, Jr. considered this application on 11 Aug 98 
in accordance with  the provisions of  Air  Force  Instruction 36- 
2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

SUBJECT:  Application for Correction of Military Records 

Requested Action and Basis ,for Request.  Restore 2 1 days charged as leave for 2 1 
Jun - 11 Jul97.  Applicant states he understood he would be on convalescent leave during 
this time.

Facts and Discussion.  Applicant was on leave en route between assignment from 
Leave history shows 8 days charged leave 1 Jun - 8 Jun 
AFB to 
days c o n s n t  leave 14 - 20 Jun 97, and 39 days charged leave 21 Jun - 29 Jul 
AFB hospital on 9 Jun due to acute low back 
97.  Applicant states he reported to 
pain and leg weakness.  He was diagnosed as 
k and was admitted to 
the hospital for two days.  On 11 Jun 97 he flew to 
Medical Center where he 
was seen by a neurosurgeon.  Applicant states he 
ould be on 
convalescent leave for 30 days upon returning to 
Jun, his leave location 
between assignments. On 20 Jul97, applicant received the doctor’s statement dated 17 
Jun 97 and discovered the convalescent leave was not for one (1) month.  The doctor’s 
statement recommends one (1) week convalescent leave and a temporary profile during 
this period of 
before he left 
would have been the approval authority for the convalescent leave based on the 
recommendation of the attending physician.  In this case, applicant was properly charged 
leave en route between assignments for the days in excess of the authorized 7 days 
convalescent leave and allowable travel time.  We cannot support granting relief. 

case, applicant failed to obtain the doctor’s memorandum 
Medical Center.  Further, his unit commander at Eglin AFB 

Recommendation.  Deny.  However, if the AFBCMR decides to grant relief, 

restore 21 days to current leave account.
