RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-02994
INDEX CODE: 128.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be given a constructive reenlistment to qualify for a higher
Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) entitlement.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She reenlisted on 18 December 2001 in zone A for a 1.5 multiple SRB.
On 1 January 2002, she received notice that her career field’s SRB
had been raised to a 2.5 multiple SRB. When she arrived at her new
duty station (Osan AB) she was told that she should have received the
2.5 multiple, and the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) at Eglin should
have counseled her on her options. She was told if the multiple goes
up within 30 days of her reenlistment, then she will receive the
higher multiple.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of her
reenlistment documents.
Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was honorably discharged on 17 December 2001 for the
sole purpose of immediate reenlistment on 18 December 2001 for a
period of six (6) years.
Enlistment documents reveal she was entitled to a Zone A, multiple
1.5 SRB based on 4 years and 10 months of continued service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE states that on 17 January 2002, HQ USAF released a new SRB
list and announced that affected personnel should be briefed. The
window to get the SRB recomputed was if the applicant reenlisted
between 2 January 2002 and 16 January 2002. 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.
Therefore, they recommend the applicant’s request be disapproved.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 15 November 2002, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to applicant for review and response within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in view of the above and in the absence of evidence by the
applicant supporting her allegation of miscounseling, 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.

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.

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...
