             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-02959
            INDEX CODE:  131.05

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The date  of  his  entry  on  active  duty  be  corrected  to  read
16 January 1999 rather than 19 January 1999, so that the  break  in
service from 16-18 January 1999, will be eliminated.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was on active duty as  an  enlisted  member  and  completed  the
Interservice Physician Assistant Program.  He was  commissioned  on
15 January 1999, at Scott AFB, IL.   He  was  scheduled  to  depart
Scott AFB on 16 January 1999; but  the  Traffic  Management  Office
(TMO) changed the dates to pack and pick  up  his  household  goods
from 12-13 January 1999 to  18-19  January  1999.   He  would  have
prevented this change had he known that the date of travel affected
his EAD date and would cause a  break  in  service.   The  extended
active duty (EAD) date is determined by the date he departed to his
new  assignment  after  becoming  a  commissioned   officer.    His
Statement of Service indicates he was not in the military from   16-
18 January 1999, although he was charged leave on those days.

He does not want to recoup any lost pay for the 3 days in question.
 The correction should  be  made  since  his  departure  date  from
Scott AFB was out of his control.

In support, the applicant provided copies of  his  extended  active
duty (EAD) order; a Statement of Service; DD Form 1299 (Application
for Shipment and/or Storage of Personal Property);  and  Government
Bill of Lading (GBL) with GBL Correction Notice.

The complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the  grade  of
1Lt,  effective  17  January  2001.   His  Total   Active   Federal
Commissioning Service Date (TAFCSD) is 19  January  1999.   He  has
9 years, 9 months and 19 days of prior enlisted service.

The  remaining  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 Separations Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPRS,  reviewed  this  application
and  recommended  that  the  EAD  date  of  19  January  1999,  not
be changed, but that the discharge date  from  enlisted  status  be
changed to 18 January 1999.  The Joint  Federal  Travel  Regulation
(JFTR) and the Department of  Defense  (DOD)  Financial  Management
Regulation  indicate  the  EAD  date  cannot  be   prior   to   the
actual travel start date.   The  applicant  did  not  start  travel
until 19 January  1999.   He  should  have  been  discharged   from
enlisted status the day prior to the  travel  start  date;  however
the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) discharged him  on  15  January
1999, which resulted in the loss of active service for the days  of
16-18 January 1999.

A complete copy of this evaluation is at Exhibit C.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy  of  the  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the  applicant  on
16 February  2001,  for  review  and  response   within   30   days
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, he has not responded.

___________________________________________________________________

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.   We  noted  the
applicant’s request that the date of his entry on  extended  active
duty (EAD) be changed from 19 January 1999 to 16 January  1999,  to
eliminate a break in service.   However,  in  accordance  with  the
governing regulation, the EAD date cannot be prior  to  the  actual
travel start date.  According to HQ AFPC/DPPRS,  since  he  started
his travel on 19 January 1999, he should have been  separated  from
enlisted status on 18 January 1999, rather than  15  January  1999,
since the separation date must be one day prior to the first day of
travel.  As such, he should have been transferred from enlisted  to
commissioned officer status on 19 January 1999,  for  pay  purposes
without a break in service.  We  agree.   Therefore,  we  recommend
that 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 from the Regular Air Force on 18  January  1999,  rather
than 15 January 1999.

    This rule basically states that he didn’t come back on active duty as an officer until he began traveling to his next duty assignment. He didn’t travel until 5 June 1998, and they set his commissioning DOR between the date he separated from enlisted status and the date he began traveling as an officer. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record, the majority of the Board is persuaded that the applicant’s commission date of rank should be changed.

    She currently has a DOS of 23 Nov 99. The Chief states that selective continuation of twice nonselected officers was not offered for the Mar 99 Nurse Corps Major promotion board; thus, the applicant has a mandatory DOS. DPPPA notes that the contested TR was part of the applicant’s OSR when she was considered for promotion to major by the CY97D board and the DOS of 23 Nov 99 was reflected on both of her CY97D and CY99A OSBs.

    (See Attachment 3 to Exhibit A). On the same date another major at AFPC advised the applicant that he did not have the authority to change ADSCs; and that he briefed all members prior to signing up that the EAD program is two years unless an officer incurs an additional commitment due to training. On 17 December 1996, AFPC advised the applicant (while assigned to Korea) that his follow-on F-16 assignment’s IQT would be 60 months.
