RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-02076
INDEX CODE: 121.03
COUNSEL: No
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Forty-two days of leave be restored.
_________________________________________________________________
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:
Applicant entered active duty on 29 December 1997. He is currently
serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of airman first class.
The remaining 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. Accordingly,
there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, Commanders’ Programs Branch, HQ AFPC/DPSFC, states the
applicant believes he was unjustly charged leave for time spent during
the medical clearance process and for time spent awaiting diversion of
his assignment. The author finds that finance correctly charged leave
for time spent awaiting medical clearance and assignment diversion
because he was clearly in a leave en route status since departing
Sheppard AFB, TX. The author can only support restoring 12 days of non-
chargeable leave authorized under the Recruiter Assistance Program.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 21
September 1998 for review and comment 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 to warrant partial
relief. According to the Air Force, the applicant was correctly
charged leave for time spent awaiting medical clearance and assignment
diversion because he was in a leave en route status since departing
Sheppard AFB. However, after carefully considering the chronology of
events in this case, we believe the Air Force’s processing of the
medical clearance and subsequent assignment diversion was somewhat
protracted. Consequently, we are not convinced the applicant should be
“docked” for the entire length of time. Furthermore, he was
authorized 12 days non-chargeable leave under the Recruiter Assistance
Program. We conclude that a more equitable solution would be to
restore a total of 26 days of leave to the applicant’s current leave
account and this we so recommend.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that 26 days of leave were
added to his current leave account.
