RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-00914
INDEX CODE 128.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment date be changed from 3 December 1990 to 2
January 1991, to allow eligibility to collect a retroactive Zone B,
Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was asked to reenlist early for the convenience of the Air Force.
He was not informed that a new SRB listing would be released in
January 1991 and that his Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) of 2M0X3
(old AFSC 41152A) might be on the new listing. He believes this is
not an error made willingly on the part of the Air Force. At the time
he was asked to reenlist early, he was told there was nothing that
they could do about the money and at the time unfortunately he
accepted this. He has served faithfully for 13 years and he would
like the Air Force to look at this and correct it making his bonus
retroactive.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement,
with additional documents associated with the issues cited in his
contentions. These documents are appended at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force
on 4 Aug 87. He reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 December
1990 in the grade of senior airman for a period of six years. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5). The
applicant’s most recent enlistment was on 7 January 1998 in the
grade of E-5 for a period of six years.
Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) reveals
that the applicant held the Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) of
41152A (new AFSC 2M0X3) since 4 August 1987.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, Skills Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed the
applicant’s request and recommended denial. The applicant’s AFSC
411X2 (Missile and Space System Maintenance) was authorized a Zone A
SRB Mult 0.5 effective 2 January 1991, one month after applicant
reenlisted. When the applicant reenlisted on 7 January 1998, he was
not entitled to a Zone B SRB because he had more than 10 years service
based on his Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) of 4
August 1987. To be eligible for a Zone B you must reenlist between 6-
10 years service. There was no Zone C SRB entitlement for his AFSC.
The applicant’s contention that he reenlisted early for the
convenience of the Air Force has not been substantiated. At the time
of his reenlistment on 3 December 1990, neither the applicant nor the
military personnel flight (MPF) had any reason to believe his AFSC
would get an SRB. Further, when HQ USAF announces SRB changes, no
grandfather clause is included. Also, it would not be justified to
allow him entitlement not provided to others in a similar situation.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the opinion and provided a response, which is
at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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
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 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.
