                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-03207
            INDEX CODE:  121.03

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Ten days of leave lost at FY98 year-end balancing be restored  to  his
current leave account.
_________________________________________________________________

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.   Accordingly,  there  is  no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Field Activities Division, HQ AFPC/DPSF, reviewed this application
and recommended denial.  DPSF stated that although the applicant  lost
10 days of leave,  he  received  full  pay  and  allowances  while  on
convalescent leave for 110  days.   DPSF  does  not  support  granting
relief because military necessity did not cause  the  lost  leave.   A
complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  applicant  on  15
January 1999 for review and response.  As of this  date,  no  response
has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________

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.  After reviewing all the
evidence,  we  believe  the  applicant  has  been  the  victim  of  an
injustice.  We noted that the applicant  did  take  leave  during  the
period he was in school, which was  prior  to  the  discovery  of  his
malignant brain tumor.  This action taken by the  applicant  indicates
that he tried to use his allotted leave before the end of  the  fiscal
year.  However, due to applicant’s unforeseen  medical  condition,  he
was precluded from taking ordinary leave.  In view of the above, we do
not believe he should be penalized for the time he was unable to  take
leave.  We, therefore, recommend that the applicant’s  records  should
be corrected to show that ten (10) days of leave were restored to  his
current leave account.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected by adding ten (10) days  of  annual
leave to his leave account commencing 2 October 1998.
_________________________________________________________________
