                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-01552
            INDEX NUMBER: 121.00, 128.14

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Oversea Tour  Extension  Incentive  be  changed  from  the  30-day  non-
chargeable leave to the $2,000 lump sum bonus.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She states that she  had  planned  to  take  leave  during  her  entitlement
period; however, due to unforeseen military changes in the mission, she  was
unable to take leave due to a short notice training slot.

She had been in a new career field over a year  and  was  unable  to  get  a
previous training slot due to the  high  demand  of  training.   She  became
pregnant and cancelled her leave because her assignment was to be  curtailed
due to the downsizing efforts at Incirlik  AB  and  because  there  were  no
doctors to deliver her baby on base.   She  was  not  able  to  fulfill  her
extension  obligation  so  she  cancelled   her   leave.    Then,   due   to
complications in getting the security clearance required for her  next  duty
assignment, she had to extend  again  because  she  could  not  fly  due  to
pregnancy.

Applicant's complete 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 office of the Air Force.   Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The NCOIC, AF Overseas Assignment  Procedures,  AFPC/DPAPP1,  reviewed  this
application and states that the applicant was not eligible  for  the  $2,000
lump sum payment.  The $2,000 option  was  authorized  by  Congress  in  the
fiscal 1998 Defense  Authorization  Act  and  authorized  by  SECAF  for  AF
members who  forecasted  their  DEROS  options  1  October  1997  or  later.
Members that forecasted prior  to  October  1997  would  still  receive  the
$80.00 per month incentive.  Based on her  original  DEROS  of  24  November
1997, applicant would have forecasted her  DEROS  option  in  January  1997,
therefore, she would have received the $80.00 per month not the $2,000  lump
sum.  Therefore, they recommend disapproval of the request  for  the  $2,000
lump sum incentive and approval of the $80.00 per month incentive.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 4 August 2000, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was  forwarded  to  the
applicant 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence  of  probable  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice   of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;  however,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of  the  Air  Force  office  of
primary responsibility and adopt  their  rationale  as  the  basis  for  our
conclusion that the applicant has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,  we  find
no compelling basis upon which to  recommend  a  favorable  action  on  this
application.

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.

The following members of the Board considered this application in  Executive
Session on 21 September 2000, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

      Mr. Gregory H. Petkoff, Panel Chair
      Mr. William E. Edwards, Member

Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.
