RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-00494
INDEX NUMBER: 112.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His enlistment date be changed from 03 Jan 00 to 19 Oct 99.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 03 Jan 00 under the assumption
that he would receive a bonus. While inprocessing, he was informed
that he would have had to enlist by 19 Oct 99 in order to be eligible
for the bonus. He states had he known this, he would have enlisted in
October 1999.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a letter from the
military personnel flight (MPF) Career Enhancement Section.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
At the time of reenlistment (03 January 2000), the applicant had 14
years, 2 months, and 16 days of active service, based on his paydate
of 18 October 1985.
Other relative facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letters
prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Military Personnel Operations Section, HQ AFRC/DPMB, initially
submitted an advisory opinion, prior to the applicant’s paydate being
adjusted based on his break in service (Exhibit C).
The Military Personnel Operations Section, HQ AFRC/DPMB, provided a
revised advisory recommending disapproval of the applicant’s request.
IAW AFI 36-2638, para 1.2.7, “a member who has completed no more than
14 years (exactly) total service (based on paydate) at the time of
enlistment” may be eligible for an incentive bonus. They further
state that, since applicant’s paydate is 18 Oct 85, if he had enlisted
on 19 Oct 99, he would have had 14 years and 2 days of total service
at the time of his reenlistment, therefore making him ineligible for
the incentive bonus (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Air Force evaluation was initially provided on 12 May 2000.
On 25 September 2000, a copy of the revised Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. After a thorough review
of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are
unpersuaded that relief should be granted. Applicant’s contentions
are duly noted; however, we do not find these assertions, in and of
themselves, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided
by the Air Force. We adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for
our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that
he has suffered either an error or an injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
recommend favorable action on the applicant’s request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice;
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

However, she was no longer eligible for the reenlistment bonus as she had since been reassigned to Willow Grove ARB...
