RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-03343
INDEX CODE: 135.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be paid for six (6) inactive duty training (IDT) periods performed on 7
July 2001, 27 August 2001 and 28 August 2001.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His supervisor required him, as the new Individual Mobilization Augmentee,
to perform the six (6) IDT period for inprocessing and orientation to his
new position. His supervisor approved these IDT periods in a pay status.
He performed and was paid for 48 IDT periods during FY 2001 as a Category A
Reservist in the Air National Guard. According to ANGI 36-2001, the
maximum paid UTA periods are 48 per fiscal year. AFMAN 36-8001, Reserve
Personnel Participation and Training Procedures, does not apply to the ANG,
the component to which he belonged at the time he performed the 48 IDT
periods. Funding for the IDT periods that he performed as a Category A
Reservist in the ANG was provided by the ANG. Funding for the IDT periods
that he performed as a Category B Reservist in the AFRES is provided by the
Air Force Reserve Command. Funding for the two different types of IDT
periods is separate and is paid accordingly.
In support of his application, he provides a personal statement, copies of
AF Form 40A, Record of Individual Inactive Duty Training, excerpt of AFMAN
36-8001, Reserve Personnel Participation and Training Procedures, and a
copy of a letter from HQ AFRC/FM. His complete submission, with
attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Data extracted from the military personnel data system (MilPDS) reveals
that on 1 July 2001, the applicant became a member of the Individual
Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) program. MilPDS indicates the applicant’s
Total Federal Service Commission Date as 18 December 1975 and he is
currently serving in the grade of colonel, with a date of rank and
effective date of 3 March 2003. As of the Retirement Year Ending (RYE) 4
March 2002, he was credited with 20 years of satisfactory Federal service.
The remaining 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 at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/FMF recommends the application be denied. They state that AFM 36-
8001, Chapter 1, Table 1.1, Column D, Note 2, provides regulatory guidance
and specifically addresses members who move between categories as well as
the maximum number of IDT periods allowable with pay. While performing
duty as a Category A Reservist with the ANG, the applicant reached the
threshold for the number of IDT periods eligible for pay. The 48 periods
remain the legal limitation.
The AFRC/FMF evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reiterates that AFM 36-8001, does not apply to the Air National
Guard and therefore should not be applied to his specific case. He
completed only 6 IDT periods as a Category A Air Force Reservist in FY
2001, less than the maximum stated in AFM 36-8001, which applies only to
Air Force Reserve units, the IMA program, and the Individual Ready Reserve.
The applicant’s letter, with attachment, is at attachment F.
________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the evidence
presented, we are not persuaded that favorable consideration of the
applicant’s request is appropriate. The applicant’s contention that
funding for the Guard and Reserve are two different types of funding was
noted; however, other than his own assertions, the applicant has provided
no evidence, which in our opinion, adequately refutes the assessment of his
case. In the absence of such evidence, we agree with the opinion 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. Accordingly, the applicant’s request is not favorably
considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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 and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

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.

After a careful review of the evidence of record, we note that, except for the retirement/retention period in question, the...

In a letter dated 17 June 2004, the applicant requested reconsideration of his appeal (Exhibit G). Requiring the applicant to train at least 50% of his IDTs during the normal work week was actually accommodating to his schedule; most Line of the Air Force IMAs then and now, performed IDTs only during the work...
