RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-03679
INDEX CODE: 128.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS:
A backdated reenlistment, effective 13 Aug 02, in order to receive a
Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was miscounseled regarding her option to reenlist rather than
extend.
In support of her request, the applicant submits copies of her
enlistment and extension of enlistment documents. The applicant’s
complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force
on 28 Mar 94. She has been progressively promoted to the grade of
staff sergeant (E-5), with an effective date and date of rank of 1 Dec
00.
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:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied. DPPAE indicates
that the applicant reenlisted 21 Jul 97 for 4 years. She then
extended this reenlistment on 21 Jun 00 for 9 months; 9 Apr 02 for 25
months; and, 11 Jul 02 for 35 months. In accordance with the
governing Air Force instruction, retrainees into Air Traffic Control
cannot reenlist for an SRB entitlement until award of SEI 056, 058 or
364 to their AFSC. Members are awarded these SEIs upon award of their
5-skill [Journeyman] level. DPPAE states that the applicant was not
eligible to reenlist and receive an SRB. The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation
is at Exhibit C.
Through further research with HQ AFPC/DPPAE, they indicated that the
applicant was in a 3-skill [Apprentice] level at the time of her
extension.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 12
December 2002 for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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
office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as
the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain
her burden that she has suffered either an error or an injustice. We
note that, since the applicant was not in a required 5-skill level at
the time she executed her extension, she was ineligible to reenlist
and receive a Selective Reenlistment Bonus. In view of the above and
absent 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.

We note that, at the time the Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) was announced for the applicant’s career field, she had planned to extend her enlistment rather than reenlist. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was honorably discharged on 2 July 2003 rather than 31 July 2003 and reenlisted in the Regular Air Force on...
AF | BCMR | CY2005 | BC-2004-03159
According to HQ AFPC/DPPAE (Exhibit C), effective 5 Mar 04, the Air Force reduced the reenlistment window from 12 months to three months prior to a member’s ETS. As the Air Force announces SRB changes, affected personnel are given at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the SRB changes to reenlist. Eligibility is based on the policies in effect at the time the member reenlists.
The applicant could have reenlisted some time while she was on leave, and she apparently returned from leave in time to have reenlisted and qualified for an SRB. We therefore agree with the recommendations of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has not sustained her burden of having suffered either an error or an injustice. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant...

As pointed out by HQ USAF/JAA, the applicant is “better off” with the existing 17-month extension plus a four-year reenlistment, with a four-year SRB,...
