                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:                       DOCKET NUMBER:  99-00385
                                        INDEX CODE:  128.05
                                        COUNSEL: No

                                        HEARING DESIRED: No


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Two extensions of enlistment be canceled so that  he  will  have  full
entitlement to the 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 Chief, Skills Management Branch, HQ  AFPC/DPPAE,  indicates  that,
although there is no  evidence  (i.e.,  statement  from  the  Military
Personnel Flight  counselor)  to  indicate  the  applicant  was  given
incorrect advice or counseling on his reenlistment options, it appears
his explanation may be valid.  Therefore,  the  Chief  defers  to  the
AFBCMR and explains the corrections necessary should the Board opt  to
grant relief.

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 29
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 error or injustice to warrant relief. The AF
Form 1411 the applicant signed  includes  his  initials  on  the  back
stating he  did  understand  he  had  30  days  to  request  extension
cancellation. However, his  assertion  that  he  was  merely  told  to
initial all the blocks on the back of the form seems feasible since he
even initialed blocks that were not applicable. The possibility exists
that he was verbally told, as he contends, that his bonus would not be
affected as long as he reenlisted prior  to  entering  the  extension.
Therefore, in order to preclude a possible injustice, we  believe  any
doubt should be resolved in this applicant’s favor and  recommend  his
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 the extensions of his
14 December 1994 enlistment executed on 23 September 1997 for a period
of one (1) month, and on 11 March 1998 for a period of twenty-two (22)
months, be declared void.

It is further recommended  that  Section  III  (D)  of  AF  Form  901,
Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4,  executed  on  7 December
1998, be corrected to show that  the  Zone  A,  Multiple  3  Selective
Reenlistment Bonus is payable for  five  (5)  years  and  eleven  (11)
months, rather than four (4) years and one (1) month.

_________________________________________________________________

Executive Session on 27 July 1999, under the  provisions  of  AFI  36-
