APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be awarded retirement points for the last 4 years and  4 months
(Retirement Years Ending 22 Jul 98,  22  Jul  99,  22  Jul  00  and

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was placed on T-4 status for 4 years and 4 months to  determine
if she had asthma.  She says she did not and that the  normal  time
to stay in T-4 is 1 year.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Based on available records, the applicant served  from  10 May 1968
to 14 May 1969 on active duty.  She was in civilian status from  15
May 1969 to 22 July 1980.

On 25 April 1987, the applicant enlisted in the Air  Force  Reserve
for a period of six years.   She  was  promoted  to  the  grade  of
technical sergeant (TSgt/E-6) with an effective date  and  date  of
rank of 1 May 1987.

The  applicant  was  deployed  in  support  of   Operation   Desert
Shield/Storm from 2 January 1991 to 12 April 1991.  She  was  given
credit for 2 months and 15 days of foreign service.

She entered her last enlistment on 8 Jun 01, for a  period  of  six
years.  Her current Date of Separation/Expiration Term  of  Service
(DOS/ETS) is 7 Jun 07.

AF Form  422,  Physical  Profile  Serial  Report,  dated  2 Nov 96,
reflects  that  the  applicant  was  medically   disqualified   for
worldwide duty, effective 2 Nov 96, rendering  her  ineligible  for
pay and/or points.  On 1 Feb 01, she was found medically  qualified
for worldwide duty; however, permanently disqualified  from  flying
duty.

The Air  Force  has  indicated  that  the  applicant  has  received
incapacitation pay for the period 2 Nov 96 through 1 May  97.   She
currently has an extension request for incapacitation pay into  SAF
for the subsequent period of 2 May 97 through 31 Jan 01.

Her points history reflects that for Retirement Year  Ending  (RYE)
22 Jul  98,  she  was  credited  with  15  retirements  points;  15
retirement points for RYE 22 Jul 99; 19 retirement points  for  RYE
22 Jul 00; and 27 retirements points for RYE 22 Jul 01.   All  four
periods of service were unsatisfactory towards retirement.

She has completed a total of 17 years, and 5 days  of  satisfactory
Federal  service  as  of   her   Retirement   Year   Ending   (RYE)
22 July 2002.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFRC/DPM reviewed this application and recommended denial.  They
state the applicant was medically disqualified for  worldwide  duty
rendering her ineligible to participate.  A  member  being  cleared
for military duty does not  retroactively  constitute  grounds  for
award of pay and points.  She has received incapacitation pay  from
2 November 1996 – 1 May 1997 (which was approved  17  April  2002).
The applicant currently has a  request  for  an  extension  of  her
incapacitation pay for the subsequent period of 2 May 97 –  31  Jan
2001.   In  accordance  with  AFRCI  36-3004,  a  member  receiving
incapacitation pay may not receive retirement points for  the  same
timeframe.

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 13 September 2002 for review and comment within 30 days.  As  of
this date, no response has been received by this office.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant  has  not  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.  We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the
case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of  the
Air  Force  office  of  primary  responsibility  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.
