RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-01006
INDEX NUMBER:112.05; 135.02
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The statement of service in block 24 of his DD Form 214 effective
5 Aug 66 be changed to 4 years, 0 months, 0 days instead of 3
years, 11 months, 29 days to give him enough service in the
Reserves for retirement.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He left his home of record (HOR) on 5 Aug 62 to enlist in the Air
Force on 6 Aug 62, but due to a large number of inductees and no
fault of his own, he was not sworn in until 7 Aug 62. If he had
been sworn in on 6 vague 62 as he should have been, he would have
had 4 years of service upon his release from active duty on 5 Aug
66.
He enlisted for a term of four years on 7 Aug 62 and was available
to be discharged on 6 Aug 66, a Saturday, but was discharged on
5 Aug 66, a Friday, because the Consolidated Base Personnel Office
(CBPO) was closed.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to documents in the applicant’s military personnel
records, he enlisted on 7 Aug 62 for a term of four years. Based
on documents provided by the applicant, the HQ Air Reserve
Personnel Center advised him on 14 Nov 88 that an audit of his
Master Personnel Record resulted in a change in his total
satisfactory service from 18 years, 11 months, 29 days to 19 years,
11 months, 29 days. On 28 Feb 89, the applicant was transferred to
the Inactive Reserves. On 25 Apr 92, he was honorably discharged
from the Reserves.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Personnel Program Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAES, evaluated
this application and did not make a recommendation. They deferred
to the AFBCMR for a decision on the applicant’s request.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
The Separations Branch also evaluated this application. They too
deferred to the AFBCMR to determine if relief should be granted.
The complete submission is at Exhibit D.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responded to the Air Force evaluations by providing a
statement from a relative giving the date the applicant departed
his HOR for enlistment in the Air Force.
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit F.
___________________________________________________________________
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 warranting corrective
action. After careful consideration of the applicant’s complete
submission, it appears that the applicant did enlist for a period
of four years and was discharged a day early. In addition, we note
that the applicant’s record has been corrected to show that he has
19 years, 11 months, and 29 days of satisfactory service. Based on
this correction, applicant is only one day short of obtaining
eligibility for retired pay at age sixty. In view of the
circumstances surrounding his early separation from active duty and
in view of the correction made to his record, we believe that he
should be given the additional service time to obtain retirement
eligibility. Therefore, the Board recommends that the record 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:
a. He was awarded an additional five (5) non-paid
Inactive Duty Training (IDT) points for retirement/retention (R/R)
year 15 July 1988 to 14 July 1989, resulting in 50 total points
and a year of satisfactory Federal service for retirement.
b. On 28 February 1989, he was not transferred to the
Inactive Reserve.
c. On 1 August 1989, he was relieved from the Air
Force Reserve and transferred to the Retired Reserve with
eligibility for retired pay at age 60.
