                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-02175
            INDEX NUMBER:  128.05
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be allowed to receive the Selective Reenlistment Bonus for  the  Air
Force Specialty Code (AFSC) that he has been  approved  for  retraining
into vice his present AFSC.

________________________________________________________________

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 found at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE  reviewed  this  application  and  recommended  denial.    A
complete copy of the 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
Jul 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice.  While it is unfortunate that  the
timing of events in the applicant’s career  precludes  his  eligibility
for the SRB, we find no evidence of an error or injustice.  While there
are times when an exception to policy  may  be  warranted,  we  do  not
believe this to be true in the applicant’s case.  The  Air  Force  must
establish and follow policy to carry out its  mission.   As  such,  the
policy as it applies in the applicant’s case  would  affect  any  other
individual in a similar situation the same.  In the absence of evidence
that the policy was  applied  unfairly  in  this  instance,  we  cannot
recommend granting the relief requested.

_______________________________________________________________

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.

    The SRB review had not been announced as of the date the applicant reenlisted and therefore the MPF was not able to brief the applicant it had changed. However, we have been advised by the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) that the applicant’s Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) was affected by the STOP LOSS program which was in effect at the time. Therefore, had he not reenlisted in December 2001, he would not have been allowed to separate on January 13, 2002; rather, an extension of his...
