AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-01908 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

She be provided the opportunity to sell 30 days of accrued leave. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

' 

Her intentions were  to sell 30 days of  leave in conjunction with 
her reenlistment.  She signed paperwork without reading it, taking 
for  granted  that  her  intentions  to  sell  leave  were  clearly 
understood.  She admits she made a mistake, apologized for it, and 
strongly desires to correct it. 

In  support  of  applicant's  appeal,  she  submits  a  personal 
statement,  Leave  Misunderstanding  Memo,  dated  4  June  1998,  Memo 
375  MSS/DPMPE,  Memo,  MPF  Commander,  dated  30  June  1998,  HQ 
AFPC/DPPAER  message  dated  2  July  1998,  and  AF  Form  1089  (Leave 
Settlement Option) . 
Applicant's  complete submission is attached at Exhibit A. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

On 1 June 1998, the applicant reenlisted for four years.  Prior to 
this  date,  the  applicant  completed  an  AF  Form  1089,  Leave 
Settlement Option, indicating she would carry forward all accrued 
leave upon reenlistment. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The  Chief,  Skills  Management  Branch,  Directorate  of  Personnel 
Program Management, reviewed this application and states that the 
applicant contends she believed the AF Form 1089 authorized her to 
sell  30  days  leave.  However,  she  has  provided  no  evidence  to 
corroborate  this  allegation. 
In  fact,  the  evidence  submitted 
indicates  to  the  contrary.  The  Military  Personnel  Flight  (MPF) 

98-01908 

provided two key documents indicating the applicant was well aware 
of her option to sell leave but elected to carry it forward.  Both 
the AF Form 1089 and the statement from the MPF counselor clearly 
indicate no  misunderstanding occurred, Therefore,  they  recommend 
denial of applicant's  request. 

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

The  Chief,  Commanders'  Programs  Branch,  HQ  AFPC/DPSFC,  advises 
that  the applicant  states her  desires  were  to  sell  30 days upon 
reenlistment on 1 June 1998.  She states it was not her intention 
to sign the AF Form 1089, Leave Settlement Option, indicating she 
would  carry  forward  all  accrued  leave  upon  reenlistment.  The 
applicant contends she believed the AF Form 1089 authorized her to 
sell 30 days leave and that the MPF misunderstood her intentions. 
Nonetheless,  they  agree  with  the  earlier  advisory  and  recommend 
denial of her request. 

A complete copy of the their evaluation is attached at Exhibit D. 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The applicant reviewed the advisory opinions and  states that  she 
admits that she is guilty of having somewhat of a mental overload 
during the time she signed paperwork to carry leave over,  She was 
concentrating  on  things  that  she  needed  to  do,  things  that  she 
wanted to do, and trying to accomplish things that she had to do. 
The reason why  she wants to sell her leave is she is on her last 
enlistment and would  like to get  things in order  for retirement. 
Her  plan  was  to  sell  30  days  of  leave  in  order  to  resolve  an 
outstanding  Chapter  13  that  she  is  currently  in  debt  due  to  a 
divorce. 

Applicant's  complete response is attached at Exhibit F. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies 
law or regulations.

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 and adopt their rationale as  the

    DPSFC stated that, if HQ AFPC/DPPRS agrees, the applicant’s retirement date should be changed from 1 Jul to 1 Sep 98. To grant the applicant additional active duty time to use 77 days of leave, his retirement date would have to be extended by 3 full months. Given the lost opportunity, and the change of circumstances, he was not even able to zero out the leave and permissive TDY days prior to 1 Jul 98.
