                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00632
                 INDEX CODE: 128.05  112.07
                 COUNSEL:  None

                 HEARING DESIRED:  No
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment  on  17  July  2001  be  voided  and  a  constructive
reenlistment of 20 January 2002 be granted to qualify for a  Selective
Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Over the past seven months, he had made multiple visits to  his  local
military personnel flight (MPF)  reenlistment  section  to  check  the
status of a reenlistment bonus contracted to him on 17 July 2001.   He
has exhausted all local means to have this matter taken care of in the
most expeditious of manners.  It is his opinion that the Air Force has
failed to honor its contracted obligations, and therefore  ask  for  a
new contract be produced and adhered to under the current reenlistment
provisions.  He feels he has been as patient as he can on this matter,
and can no longer afford the loss of unpaid funds.

In support of his application, he submits a copy of his DD  Form  4/1,
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document and copies of his leave  and  earning
statements.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular  Air  Force  in  the
grade of technical sergeant (E-6).

The applicant reenlisted on 17 July 2001 for four  (4)  years  with  a
Zone  C,  Multiple  0.5  Selective  Reenlistment   Bonus   to   obtain
retainability.

The MPF processed a transaction on this applicant and  due  to  MilPDS
problems it rejected 17 November 2001.   As  of  22  April  2002,  the
applicant was paid $1,686.60 for a Zone C,  Multiple  0.5  SRB  for  a
total of 3 years.

_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommended disapproval.  The Air Force  did  not  fail  to
honor its obligations.  Due to system problems that are being actively
worked on a daily basis, member did not receive his SRB at the time of
his reenlistment.  However, now that DFAS has  taken  action  on  this
member's record, member will receive all back pay associated with this
reenlistment.    Additionally,    member    reenlisted    to    obtain
retainability, not to maximize his SRB.

AFPC/DPPAE complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
29 June 2002 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 an  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of  the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case  and
to include the fact that DFAS is taking action on the member's  record
to insure that he will  receive  all  back  pay  associated  with  his
reenlistment.  Therefore, 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 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.
