HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be awarded retirement points for the period of 31 March 1998
through 30 March 1999.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had received 46 points for the retirement year ending 30 March 1999
and had over 90 points the following year because of having two annual
tours in one year and none in the other. He also contends that it
took from November 1998 until 28 February 1999 to get him resigned
from the 911th AW Pittsburgh, PA to 20th CES Shaw AFB, SC. He stated
it should only take them 45 to 60 days for reassignment process. In
addition, he did not have a break in service.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s record shows that for retention/retirement (R/R) year
31 March 1998-30 March 1999, he earned a total of 0 points active duty
(AD) points, 31 inactive duty training (IDT) points, 0 Extension
Course Institute (ECI) points and 15 membership points for a total of
46 points, and did not meet the minimum standard of 50 points for a
satisfactory year of federal service for retirement.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Director of Personnel Program Management, ARPC/DPP, reviewed the
application and recommended denial because the applicant’s lack of
participation which caused him an unsatisfactory service year.
Although the applicant stated that he had applied for reassignment in
November 1998, he could have participated with his unit of assignment
until his effective date of transfer on 26 February 1999. Also he
could have begun participation with the unit he transferred to on 27
February 1999, and since his R/R year did not end until 30 March 1999,
that gave him approximately 1 month and another opportunity to earn
the 4 points needed for a satisfactory service year.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and stated that he was
unaware of how the Retirement/Retention year worked. He further
stated that he is not asking for points not earned. He only want
points transferred from either Inactive Duty performed in August 1999
or Active Duty performed in July and August 1999.
Applicant’s complete response is attached at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After thoroughly
reviewing the evidence of record, it appears that the applicant did
not understand that he was allowed to participate with his old unit
until the effective date of his reassignment to his new unit.
Further, he apparently did not realize he could commence participation
with his new unit once the effective date was established.
Considering that the applicant has successfully participated since his
transfer to the Reserves in 1990, with the exception of the contested
time period, it is unclear why he did not understand that he could
have participated in these units, as appropriate. Regardless, we note
that he completed two annual tours during retirement/retention year
ending 30 March 2000 and has otherwise participated satisfactorily
since his transfer to the Reserves, therefore, we believe that the
benefit of the doubt should be resolved in his favor. In view of the
foregoing, we 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 awarded 4 non-
paid inactive duty training (IDT) points for Retention/Retirement
(R/R) year 31 March 1998 to 30 March 1999, resulting in 50 total and
retirement points and one year of satisfactory Federal service for
retirement.
