         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00512
            INDEX NUMBER: 128.05

      XXXXXXXXXXX      COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The  AF  Form  1411,  “Extension  or  Cancellation  of  Extensions   of
Enlistment in the Regular Air Force, he signed on 1 Nov 01 be voided.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was miscounseled by the NCO at the Military Personnel Flight and was
not made aware that he was eligible for a Zone C Selective Reenlistment
Bonus (SRB) if he reenlisted instead of extending his enlistment.  As a
result, he has lost a substantial sum of money.

In support of his assertion, the applicant has provided  statements  of
support from his rating chain.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is presently serving on  active  duty  in  the  grade  of
technical sergeant (TSgt).  His Total Active Federal  military  service
Date (TAFMSD) is 8 Dec 89.  His last eight Enlisted Performance Reports
reflect overall ratings of “5.”
_______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial of the applicant’s  request.   On  the  AF
Form 1411, section  VIII,  applicant  initialed  stating  that  he  has
considered the advantages  of  reenlisting  instead  of  executing  the
extension.  He also initialed section IX where it  states  that  member
understands that he can reenlist rather than extend.  He also initialed
that he understood and was informed that he was eligible for a Zone  C,
Multiple 5.0 SRB.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 26
Apr 02 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response  has
not been received.

_______________________________________________________________

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 error or  injustice.   The  Board  was  persuaded  by  the
support the applicant received from his rating chain that the applicant
did not  fully  understand  the  impact  his  decision  to  extend  his
enlistment rather than reenlist would have on his entitlement to a SRB.
 The applicant has indicated that had he been aware of his  entitlement
to a Zone C  SRB,  he  would  have  reenlisted  instead  of  extending.
Therefore, we recommend that the applicant’s  record  be  corrected  as
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:

        a.  The extension of his 9  September  1998  enlistment  for  a
period of eight months, executed on 1 November 2001, be voided.

         b.  He  was  honorably  discharged  on  31  October  2001  and
reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on 1 November 2001 for a period  of
six (6) years, with entitlement to a Zone C,  Multiple  5.0,  Selective
Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
