AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-03473
INDEX CODE: 128.14
. COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to reenlist prior to 20 Jun 98 to qualify for a
Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not properly briefed. Had he been correctly briefed, he would
have reenlisted before 20 Jun 98 and accepted a Selective Reenlistment
Bonus (SRB) for his critical Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC).
In support his appeal, the applicant provided a personal statement
(Exhibit A).
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) indicates
that the applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
staff sergeant, having been promoted to that grade on 1 Feb 96. His
Date Estimated Return from Overseas (DEROS) is 11 Jul 2000. His Date
of Separation is 31 Jul 2000.
The relevant facts pertaining to this application 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 Skills Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed this application
and noted that a review of the applicant’s case file indicated there
was sufficient reason to believe he was miscounseled about his
reenlistment options. Based on his DEROS of 11 Jul 99, he could have
reenlisted in Apr 98 to obtain service retainability for permanent
change of station (PCS). DPPAE recommended that a four-year
constructive reenlistment be granted, effective 19 Apr 98 (10 days
from the applicant’s initial inquiry about his reenlistment options).
The AF Form 901, Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4, Section
III (D) should reflect an SRB Zone B, Multiple 1, payable for 2 years
and 2 months. According to DPPAE, the applicant is not entitled to
the full four years due to obligated service he already had based on a
separation date of 31 Jan 2000.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In his response, the applicant stated that, due to an immediate
requirement for retainability mandated by a DEROS option selection
time requirement, an enlistment extension was unavoidable. This
extension was required even while he was awaiting the decision of the
Board.
Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Having carefully reviewed
this application, we agree with the recommendation of AFPC/DPPAE and
adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the
applicant has been the victim of an error or an injustice.
Accordingly, we recommend that the applicant’s records be corrected as
indicated below. This should afford the applicant proper and fitting
relief.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he was honorably
discharged on 18 Apr 98, and reenlisted on 19 Apr 98, for a period of
four years, with entitlement to a Zone B, Multiple 1, Selective
Reenlistment Bonus, with obligated service through 31 Jan 2000.
