                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00822
            INDEX CODE:  112.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be released from his three-month  extension  of  service,  and  his
original date of separation of 8 Sep 02 be reinstated.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When he received orders for a permanent change  of  station  (PCS)  to
Korea, he was miscounseled that he had to extend his  enlistment.   In
fact, due to his departure date from Edwards AFB on 6 Oct 00 for a one
year assignment, he was not required to extend his current enlistment.
 He is not due to enter the extension until Sep 02.   He  reported  to
his current duty location at Hurlburt Field on 14 Oct 01.

In support of  his  appeal,  the  applicant  provided  copies  of  his
extension document and his PCS orders.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from the Personnel Data System  (PDS)  indicates
that the applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
senior airman, having been promoted to that grade on 9  Sep  01.   His
Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) is 9 Sep 98.

Available documentation indicates that the applicant enlisted on 9 Sep
98 for a period of four years.  On 18 Aug 00, the applicant  requested
an extension of his enlistment for three months, which
was approved on 31 Aug 00.   As  a  result,  his  date  of  separation
(DOS)was changed from 8 Sep 02 to 8 Dec 02.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommended that the applicant’s three-month  extension  be
replaced with a one-month extension, giving him a new DOS of 8 Oct 02.
 AFPC/DPPAE indicated that according to the applicant’s Date  Eligible
for Return from Overseas (DEROS) of 25 Oct 01 and his expiration  term
of service (ETS)  of  8 Sep 02,  he  should  only  have  extended  his
enlistment for one month rather than 3 months in order to have  enough
retainability to return to the states.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  applicant  on  31
May 02 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

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.   Having  carefully  reviewed  this
application, we agree with the recommendation of AFPC/DPPAE and  adopt
their rationale as the basis for our decision that the  applicant  has
been the  victim  of  an  error  or  an  injustice.   Accordingly,  we
recommend that the applicant’s records be corrected to reflect that he
extended his enlistment for a period of one month  rather  than  three
months.  While we note the applicant’s request  that  he  be  released
from  his  three-month  extension  and  that  his  original   DOS   be
reinstated, it appears that because of his DEROS and  ETS,  he  needed
the month extension  to  have  enough  retainability  to  return  from
overseas  to  the   states.    Therefore,   we   believe   our   above
recommendation for correction of his records  is  proper  and  fitting
relief.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the extension of  his
9 Sep 98 enlistment for a period of four years, executed on 18 Aug  00
and approved on 31 Aug 00, was for a period of one month, rather  than
three months.
