AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-02285
INDEX NUMBER: 128.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be paid his Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) at a multiple of
six (6) vice five (5).
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he was notified in late 1999 to early 2000 that he needed to
obtain or decline retainability, he informed the Military Personnel
Flight (MPF) and signed a letter of intent that he would reenlist
in early Jul 00 to receive the most of his SRB as possible. His
MPF told him that it would not be a problem. He was later called
by the MPF and told that he had to reenlist right away or decline
retainability and separate. Based on this, he reenlisted on 12 Jun
00. On 20 Jun 00, his SRB increased from five to six. By being
forced to reenlist before he wanted, he lost several thousand
dollars.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letters
prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force found at
Exhibits C and D.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPP1 recommends denial of the applicant’s request. Members
must have, obtain retainability, or decline to obtain retainability
within 30 days of making their overseas returnee selection. The
applicant should have obtained the required retainability for a
CONUS assignment around August or September 1999 unless a
retainability waiver was requested. If the waiver was requested
and approved, the latest the applicant would have been approved to
delay obtaining the required retainability would have been 25 Dec
99.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial of the applicant’s request. The SRB
list was released after applicant reenlisted. He reenlisted on
12 Jun 00 due to the retainability requirement. He should have
reenlisted no later than the 25th day of the 8th month prior to his
Date Expected Return from Overseas (DEROS) of 29 Aug 00. He did
not have an option to delay his reenlistment any longer.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluation were forwarded to the applicant
on 11 Oct 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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air
Force offices 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.

According to AF Form 1411, Extension or Cancellation of Extension of Enlistment in the Regular Air Force, on 17 Mar 04, the applicant extended his 3 May 00 enlistment for 18 months for the purpose of having sufficient retainability for Career Airmen Reenlistment Reservation System (CAREERS) retraining into Air Field Management (AFSC 1C7X1).

DPPAE states the Air Staff announced release of the SRB list on 29 Mar 04, that would go into effect on 30 Mar 04. There is no way the Military Personnel Flight could have advised the applicant to wait until 30 Mar 04 to reenlist because no one knew when the Air Staff would release the new list. 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...
He was told that by signing the form declining retraining he would still receive his promotion to staff sergeant but wouldn’t be able to test under future promotion cycles. During the involuntary retraining selection phase, personnel are allowed to submit available AFSC choices; however, the final decision is based on the needs of the Air Force as determined by the Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC). As such, there was no error or injustice in applicant’s selection for...
