                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01003
            INDEX NUMBER:  113.04

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO
___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The six-year Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC) he received  for
completion of Undergraduate Navigator Training (UNT) be reduced  to
five years.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His six-year UNT ADSC is incorrect because  Air  Force  Instruction
(AFI) 36-2107, Active Duty Service Commitments (ADSC) and Specified
Period of Time Contracts (SPTC), dated 1 September 1998, Table 1.4,
Note 3b, states,  “Individuals  graduating  from  military  service
academies and AFROTC programs on 1 January 1992 or later incur a 5-
year and 4-year ADSC respectively.”

Applicant’s complete statement and documentary  evidence  submitted
in support of his application  are  included  as  Exhibit  A,  with
Attachments 1 and 2.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant completed UNT on 14  January  1997.   His  UNT  ADSC  was
prescribed by the 6 July 1994 version of AFI 36-2107, which was  in
effect at the time he  completed  UNT.   In  accordance  with  that
version, Table 1.4, Rule 2, he incurred a 6-year ADSC.

AFI 36-2107 (dated 1 September  1998),  Table  l.4,  Note  3b,  was
erroneous and subsequently amended by Interim  Change  99-1,  dated
23 December 1999.  Specifically, the Interim Change  corrected  the
ADSC for UNT to 6 years.  This version of AFI 36-2107, however, was
not in effect when the applicant graduated from UNT.

___________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSFO recommends denial stating that the applicant’s  personal
investigation revealed the  erroneous  UNT  ADSC  citation  in  the
1 September 1998 version of the ADSC instruction, but he apparently
was not aware that an Interim Change subsequently amended that AFI.
 Nevertheless, this instruction does not apply to  him  because  it
was published more than 20 months after his UNT graduation.

The applicant makes no claim that he was improperly or  incorrectly
advised of the ADSC he incurred for completion of UNT.  In fact, he
claims, “I was told by all agencies that a 6-year ADSC was incurred
for UNT.”  He simply believes there is an error with his ADSC based
upon  erroneous  guidance  in  the  1998  version  of  AFI  36-2107
(Exhibit C, with Attachments 1 and 2).

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the advisory opinion was made available to the  applicant
for review and comment in accordance  with  established  policy  on
15 June 2001 (Exhibit D);  however,  to  date,  he  has  failed  to
respond.

___________________________________________________________________

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  either  an  error  or  an  injustice
warranting  favorable  action  on  the  applicant’s  request.   His
contention  is  duly  noted.   However,  we   do   not   find   his
uncorroborated assertion, in and by itself, sufficiently persuasive
to override the rationale of the Air Force evaluation.   Therefore,
we agree with the recommendation of the Air  Force  and  adopt  its
rationale as the basis for our decision.

___________________________________________________________________

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 16 July 2001, under the provisions of AFI  36-
2603:

                 Mr. Henry Romo, Jr., Member

    Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MIBR, dated 15 Jun 2001.




                                   CHARLES E. BENNETT
