RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: 02-00932
INDEX CODE 135.02 110.01
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: Yes
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be extended for two or more months so that he would have sufficient
points to complete 20 satisfactory years of service for Reserve
retired pay.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPP discusses various statutes as they apply to the
applicant’s case. The applicant served on active duty with the United
States Public Health Service (USPHS) from 26 Jun 78 through 1 Jul 80.
This time is creditable as satisfactory service. He remained with the
USPHS in an inactive status from 2 Jul 80 to 6 Jun 84. Although the
applicant had status with the USPHS, the inactive time is not
creditable. The applicant did not complete 20 years of satisfactory
service and is not eligible for Reserve retired pay. He has been
properly credited for all satisfactory service earned. Denial is
recommended.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 May 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice to warrant awarding sufficient
points and satisfactory service to qualify the applicant for a Reserve
retirement. In this regard, the applicant apparently believed that
certain inactive periods with the USPHS were creditable towards
satisfactory service and, as a medical officer, he would be retained
until age 68. As a result, he requested a retention waiver in 1997,
which was approved on 27 Feb 98 and gave him a mandatory separation
date of 26 Mar 02. However, additional service after age 67 had been
eliminated on 1 Oct 96 when Section 8853 of Title 10, USC, was
repealed. Given the particular circumstances of this case, the fact
that the applicant typically earned far more than the minimum amount
of points necessary for a “good” year, and the small amount of time
needed to make him eligible for a Reserve retirement, we recommend
that his records 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. He was appointed to the Air Force Reserve Medical Corps on 2
April 1984.
b. He was credited with seven (7) nonpaid inactive duty
training points and three (3) membership points for the period 2 April
1984 through 6 June 1984, resulting in two (2) months and five (5)
days of satisfactory service.
c. He was not discharged from all appointments in the Air Force
Reserve on 26 March 2002 but on that date was transferred to the
Retired Reserve with entitlement to Reserve retired pay.

AFBCMR BC-2003-00932 INDEX CODE: 135.02 MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION BEFORE THE AFBCMR SUBJECT: APPLICANT, SSN Having carefully reviewed this application, we agree with the recommendation of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has been the victim of either an error or an injustice. Therefore, under the authority delegated in AFI 36- 2603, the applicant's records will be corrected as set forth in the accompanying...
According to HQ ARPC/DPP, he has 43 points for R/R Mar 99-Mar 00; 50 points are needed for a satisfactory year. The applicant did complete the F/Y 99 requirement of 12 active duty (AD) points and 48 IDT by participating for 10 points during Sep 99; however, these points were actually the first points earned for his 8 Mar-7 Mar 00 R/R year. Before his R/R date was ever changed, he had completed all training day and active duty requirements, based on the information he had at the time, by Feb 99.
AF | BCMR | CY2006 | BC-2005-02731
In support of his application, the applicant provides a personal statement and copies of his Oath of Office, Reserve orders; Air Reserve Personnel Center notification letters of change in his R/R dates, and his ANG/USAFR point credit summaries. DPP states the applicant’s service history shows he participated for a partial year of service while on extended active duty as a Reserve of the Air Force from 17 May 1983 through 7 May 1984. The Air Force office of primary responsibility recommends...

An AF Form 526 (ANG/USAFR Point Credit Summary), dated 15 Feb 86, addressed to the applicant, reflects that as of Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 15 December 1985 he had 18 years, 8 months, and 10 days of satisfactory service. They further state that the applicant would need an additional 1 year, 3 months, and 20 days of satisfactory service to gain eligibility for retired pay. After careful review of the limited records and the applicant’s submission, it appears the applicant believed that...
Subsequent to this time, the applicant has earned sufficient points to be credited with a satisfactory year of Federal service for the R/R year 30 Apr 98 to 29 Apr 99. DP indicated that in accordance with the governing Air Force manual, a year of satisfactory Federal service for retirement is awarded when a member earns a minimum of 50 points in their full R/R year. After a careful review of the evidence of record, we note that, except for the retirement/retention period in question, the...

Therefore, the appropriate course of action is to award the applicant sufficient nonpaid points for the R/R year 10 May 2002 to 9 May 2003 enabling the applicant to receive credit for a year of satisfactory service. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was credited with an additional 23 nonpaid inactive duty points for...

Points for participation can only be credited for the dates the inactive duty was performed. Correction to the advisory is attached at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant reviewed the evaluation and indicated that although the Reserve Order DA-01859 does assign him to the 514th AMW as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) he was in fact hired as a full-time Air Reserve Technician (ART). ...
Following a break in service, he enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in the grade of staff sergeant on 11 January 1973 for a period of three (3) years under the Air Reserve Technician (ART) Program. In a message dated 16 January 1981, personnel at the applicant’s unit indicated that his transfer to the Retired Reserve had been delayed to allow the applicant to accrue sufficient points to be credited with his 20th good year. In view of the foregoing, and because we are convinced by the...
