RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-01048
INDEX CODE: 128
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His projected reenlistment be backdated to 7 April 1999 to qualify him
for a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) Zone A Multiple 1.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
Applicant’s submission is attached 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 Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR).
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, states that the
applicant was eligible to reenlist anytime after 18 December 1998, the
date SRB Zone B was authorized for his specialty. The applicant did
not contact the reenlistment section until 6 April 1999. At this time
it was not possible to complete the reenlistment action nor did the
applicant advise the military personnel flight (MPF) that he had to
reenlist by 7 April 1999 or lose his SRB entitlement. The applicant
had ample opportunity to reenlist prior to 7 April 1999. His
temporary absence from his permanent duty station for about 9 days
during March 1999 to meet family obligations does not by itself
justify a retroactive reenlistment. He has provided no evidence to
indicate error or injustice. Recommend the request be denied.
A copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
26 July 1999 for review and response 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 recommend favorable
consideration to applicant’s request. We note that the applicant
could have initiated his reenlistment as early as December 1998 to
receive a selective reenlistment bonus (SRB). However, prior to the
expiration date for reenlistment to qualify for the SRB, it appears
that his spouse was having medical problems and was going to require
surgery thereby causing the applicant’s absence from his permanent
duty station on different occasions. We are persuaded that because of
his concerns in dealing with his spouse’s medical problems and the
fact that he had to be away from his duty station on several
occasions, he requested reenlistment the day before the SRB
entitlement was to expire and was informed there was no time to
process the reenlistment. We believe this created an injustice to
the applicant and therefore recommend his records be corrected to the
extent 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 5 April 1999, rather than 28 October 1999, and
reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 April 1999, rather than
29 October 1999, for a period of four (4) years with entitlement to a
Zone A, Multiple One (1) Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
