RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-00121
INDEX NUMBER: 112.05, 128.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His current reenlistment date of 17 December 1998 be changed to
18 December 1998, allowing him to collect a Zone B, 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. Accordingly, there is no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Skills Management Branch reviewed this application and recommended
denial. 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 the applicant on 1
March 1999 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 injustice. In this regard, it appears that the
applicant reenlisted early based on the advice of his Military
Personnel Flight even though he still had approximately 30 days
remaining on his enlistment. Had he reenlisted one day later, he
would have been eligible for a reenlistment bonus in his career field.
In our opinion, the applicant clearly demonstrated his intention to
continue his service in the Air Force by reenlisting early and we
believe it would be an injustice to penalize him for reenlisting
early. Therefore, to preclude any injustice to the applicant, we
recommend that the records be corrected as indicated below.
___________________________________________________________________
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 17 December 1998, rather than 16 December 1998, and
reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 18 December 1998, rather than
17 December 1998, for a period of four (4) years. At the time of his
enlistment on 18 December 1998, he was entitled to a Zone B, Multiple
One-Half, Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The Chief, Skills Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed this application and indicated that at the time of applicant’s reenlistment, neither he nor the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) had any reason to believe his AFSC would get an SRB.

The evidence of record reflects that the applicant reenlisted on 1 Dec 98.

At the time of his reenlistment on 18 December 1998, he was entitled to a Zone C, Multiple 1.0, Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) with obligated service through 20 January 1999.
Based on the information he received from the MPF, on 16 Aug 00, he reenlisted for a period of 6 years.
