injustice.  Therefore, under the authority delegated in AFI 36-

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

2.  The applicant has requested that he be retained to complete 20 satisfactory years. 

3.  The following is an analysis of the case: 

a.  The applicant entered the Air Force Reserve as a chaplain on 17 November 1987, and as of 

17 October 1998, has completed 10 years, 1 1 months, and 1 day of satisfactory Federal service 
toward a Reserve retirement.  Due to his 60* birthday, his mandatory separation date is 30 
September 2007.  As of this date, he will have 19 years, 10 months, and 13 days of satisfactory 
Federal service. 

b.  Prior to the enactment of the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act (ROPMA), 

chaplains could be retained on active duty past age 60 pursuant to Title 10, United States Code 
(U.S.C.), Section 1003. This statute was repealed by ROPMA effective 1 December 1994. 
Before the repeal, the Secretary of the Air Force had a policy to retain reserve chaplains on active 
status up to age 62 in order to qualify for retirement.  The ROPMA, effective 1 October 1996, 
contains no authority for continuing reserve chaplains past age 60 (10 U.S.C., Section 14703(b). 

- 

4.  Recommend this application be approved.  The member applied to the chaplains program 
with the understanding that he would be retained up to age 62 to complete 20 satisfactory years 
in accordance with Title 10, U.S.C. Section 1003 and be eligible for Reserve retired pay.  If the 
Board approves this  recommendation, the applicant's MSD should be extended until 18 
November 2007. 

5. If this application is disapproved, no m h e r  action is required. 

6.  If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Ms. Esther Swigert, by e-mail:
