RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-00187
INDEX CODE: 112
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive a constructive reenlistment to be eligible for a five year,
ten months Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force Office of Primary
Responsibility (OPR). Accordingly, there is no need to recite these
facts in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, Skills Management Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed the
application and states that although miscounseling was confirmed by
the MPF, with regard to applicant’s eligibility for the SRB he is
requesting, the applicant was still not entitled to a full six-year
SRB based on three extensions of enlistment. Furthermore, the
applicant’s window for Zone B eligibility terminated at the ten-year
point (16 Dec 97) and delaying his reenlistment beyond this time frame
would have rendered him ineligibility for an SRB. If partial relief
is granted, they recommend the 1 October 1997 reenlistment be canceled
and a constructive reenlistment should be granted effective 16
December 1997.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
16 March 1998 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.
The applicant states that he was briefed by his Military Personnel
Flight (MPF) several months before his reenlistment that if he
reenlisted, his Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) would be paid in
full minus two months. Applicant then reenlisted on 1 October 1997.
However, he was later informed that he was not entitled to a full SRB
based on three extensions of enlistment and that his window for Zone B
eligibility terminated at the ten-year point (16 December 1997). It
appears that the applicant was miscounseled, which was confirmed by
the MPF, with regard to his SRB entitlement. HQ AFPC/DPPAE states
that if partial relief is granted, because of the applicant being
miscounseled, he would need a constructive reenlistment and be
entitled to receive an SRB Zone B, Multiple 1 ½, payable for four
years and four months. In view of the miscounseling the applicant
received, and to remove any possibility of an injustice to the
applicant, we agree with the HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommendation for partial
relief. Applicant’s request for a full SRB entitlement is not
favorably considered in view of the obligated service he already has
based on an original separation date. Therefore, we recommend his
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

discharged on 15 December 1997, rather than 30 September 1997, and
reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 December 1997, rather than 1
October 1997, for a period of six years with entitlement to a Zone B,
Multiple 1 and 1/2 Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) payable for four
years and four months.
