IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03484
INDEX CODE: 128.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be paid a reenlistment bonus in a tax-free location (Incirlik,
Turkey).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He discovered that a co-worker, who reenlisted in the same month and
year, had received a reenlistment bonus. Applicant asserts that the
Military Personnel Flight (MPF) failed to provide adequate counseling
regarding an authorized Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant reenlisted on 12 January 1998 for four (4) years. The SRB
listing in effect at the time of his reenlistment did not include his
specialty code.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. The applicant’s AFSC was not on the
governing SRB list of 21 November 1997, at the time of reenlistment.
AFPC/DPPAE’s 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
22 November 2002, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has not received a response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's 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. The applicant’s Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) was not on
the governing Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) list at the time of
reenlistment. 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.

Had he known of the exact date, he would have waited until after 30 Apr 02 to reenlist.

A “Zone B” SRB is a bonus for members having over six but less than 10 years of total active federal military service and whose AFSC has been authorized to receive a bonus. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that he...
