RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-00287
INDEX CODE: 112.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her 10 December 1998 10-month extension to her enlistment be cancelled and,
she receive a Zone A Multiple 3.5, Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB)
payment for five years and three months as stated on her AF Form 901,
Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4 dated 13 August 1999.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In December 1998 she signed a 10-month extension (effective date, 14 May
00) in order to accept an assignment in Korea. While in Korea, she
cancelled her follow-on assignment and, in turn, cancelled her extension
because it was no longer needed. In August 1999, she reenlisted for six
years to maximize the amount of her entitled SRB. She reenlisted with the
understanding that she would be awarded a reenlistment bonus for 5 years
and 3 months of service with a multiplier of 3.5.
In support of her submission, the applicant submits a personal statement
with a first indorsement from her commander supporting her position and a
copy of DD Form 4/1 Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the
United States (Exhibit A).
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on
15 May 1996 for a period of 4 years. She is currently serving on active
duty in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5), having been promoted to that
grade on 1 April 2001. According to the Air Force office of primary
responsibility, on 10 December 1998, she extended her initial enlistment
for a period of 10 months in order to qualify for a Continental United
States (CONUS) assignment, thereby establishing a date of separation of 14
March 2001. On 13 August 1999, she reenlisted for a period of 6 years.
Her enlistment documents indicated, among other things, that she would be
paid a zone A, multiple 3.5 SRB based on 5 years 3 months of continued
service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Skills Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAE, states that on 10 Dec 98, the
applicant extended her enlistment for 10 months to qualify for a CONUS
assignment. On 13 Aug 99 the applicant reenlisted for six years and
received a Zone A Multiple 3.5 SRB for four years and four months. A
review of the applicant's file indicates the Military Personnel Flight
(MPF) erroneously indicated on her AF Form 901, Reenlistment Eligibility
Annex to DD Form 4, that she was entitled to an SRB Zone A Multiple 3.5 for
five years and three months. When the applicant reenlisted, she received
SRB payments for four years and four months based on obligated service due
to her 10-month extension. While the applicant contends she requested
cancellation of the extension, there is no evidence to substantiate this
claim. Although it is evident the MPF prepared an erroneous document, the
error noted does not justify additional entitlements beyond those
authorized by law and DOD policy. Therefore, DPPAE recommends the
applicant’s request be denied (Exhibit C).
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force Evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and response. As of this date, this office has received no response
(Exhibit D).
___________________________________________________________________
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 to
include the fact that the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) erroneously
indicated on her AF Form 901, reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4,
that she was entitled to an SRB Zone A Multiple 3.5 for five years and
three months versus four years and four months. There was no evidence in
the file that substantiates her contention that she requested cancellation
of her 10-month extension while assigned in Korea. Therefore, 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. In
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in 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 clerk explained she received a Zone B SRB for a previous reenlistment on 21 January 2005, therefore was not eligible to receive an additional Zone B SRB.
