RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03002
INDEX CODE: 121.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect that he did not sell 12 days of leave
on 11 June 85.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he outprocessed from the Air Force he was informed that he could only
sell back 48 days of his 57.5 days of leave because his finance record
indicates he sold 12 days of leave on 11 Jun 85. On that date he had
recently completed medical school, during which time he had been on
Indefinite Reserve Status for 4 years. His last leave and earnings
statement (LES), dated 15 May 85, indicates that he did not have any
accrued leave. The LES for July 1985 indicates that he entered active duty
on 12 Jun 85 with 4.5 days of accrued leave. He was in transit and did not
receive a June LES. He has no record of being paid for leave and did not
have any accrued leave to sell on 11 Jun 85.
In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement,
accounting and finance printouts, his July 1985 LES, his Reserve
Appointment Order, a Service Data Computation Worksheet, and his Statement
of Service. His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was appointed a captain, Reserve of the Air Force on 20 Apr 85
and was voluntarily ordered to extended active duty on 12 Jun 85. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of lieutenant colonel having assumed
that grade effective and with a date of rank of 20 Apr 97. He separated
from the Air Force on 1 Oct 01. He served 16 years, 3 months, and 20 days
on active duty.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate offices of the Air Force at Exhibits C and D.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSFM reviewed applicant's request and recommends that his records be
corrected as requested. DPSF states that although he provided a copy of
his May 1985 and July 1985 LES, the information that would easily resolve
the issue would be on his June 1985 LES, which he did not receive. The May
1985 LES reflects that he had 0 days of leave as of 15 May 85. If that's
the case, it becomes obvious that he could not have sold 12 days a month
later and it must be assumed that his pay records are wrong. The DPSFM
evaluation is at Exhibit C.
DFAS-POCC/DE reviewed applicant's request and recommends denial. DFAS
states that an examination of his Reserve records from 1981 through 1985
shows that he sold 4 days of leave on 31 Aug 81, 4 days on 30 Jul 82, and 4
days on 12 Sep 84. The 12 days were carried forward to his active duty pay
record as previously sold leave. The 11 Jun 85 date is not the actual date
he sold the leave, but is one day prior to his reenlistment date, 12 Jun
85. The DFAS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the DPFSM evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7 Dec 01
and a copy the DFAS evaluation was forwarded on 20 Feb 02, for review and
comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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; however,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS) 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.

_________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He had accumulated 58 days of leave when he left active duty to enter the AFROTC program. Prior service members who attend AFROTC and fulfill their obligations to AFROTC, Air Force Reserves and the Air Force should have their unused leave reinstated. DOD Financial Management Regulation directs payment for accrued leave upon discharge up to the 60-day maximum limit.
The information he received was incorrect; therefore, he was charged 8 days of excess leave (24-31 Oct 00). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force at Exhibits C and D. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ AFPC/DPSFM recommends the application be approved.

The DPSFM evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPRRP recommends approval based on the fact that he sold back 28 days of leave based on information provided to him by his Financial Service Office. Since applicant had requested a retirement date of 1 Sep 02, we do not believe that a change in his retirement is warranted. RICHARD A.
