AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03913
INDEX CODE: 100.03
XXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 20 November 2001 extension be changed from 18 months to 27 months.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he was required to extend his current enlistment for 18 months to meet
the service obligation for an in-place overseas tour, he requested to
extend to his high year of tenure date (HYTD) of 8 April 2007. His
servicing Military Personnel Flight (MPF) misinformed him that he could
only extend 18 months to satisfy his service obligation. He was told later
that he was eligible to extend to his HYTD.
In support of his application, the applicant submits a copy of his AF Form
1411, Extension or Cancellation of Extensions of Enlistment in the Regular
Air Force/Air Force Reserve.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The Military Personnel Database (MilPDS) indicates the applicant has a
Total Active Federal Military Service Date of 8 April 1983. He has
continually served on active duty and has been progressively promoted to
the grade of master sergeant (E-7), effective and with a date of rank of 1
July 1997. The MilPDS reflects the applicant has been awarded the Air
Force Achievement Medal with one device, the Air Force Commendation Medal
with one device, and the Meritorious Service Medal with one device.
On 20 November 2001, the applicant extended his 5 February 1999 enlistment
for 18 months in order to complete his overseas tour. The extension
changed his date of separation (DOS) from 4 February 2005 to 4 August 2006.
The applicant’s HYT as a Master Sergeant, at the time of his extension,
was 8 April 2007 (24 years).
AFPC/DPP message 271610Z December 2002, subject: Restructuring High Year
Tenure (HYT) for Senior Airman (SrA), Technical Sergeant (TSgt), Master
Sergeant (MSgt), and Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt), changed the HYT for
master sergeants to 26 years.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. According to AFI 26-2606, Table 4.1, rule 3,
in order for a member to extend to their HYT, they must be within 24 months
of their HYT. The applicant was not eligible to extend to his HYT date
because it was 27 months away from his previous DOS. The MPF extended the
applicant for 18 months, the minimum amount of time required for his
overseas assignment as directed by AFI 36-2606, paragraph 4.2.1.
In accordance with AFPC/DPP message 271610Z December 2002, subject:
Restructuring High Year Tenure (HYT) for Senior Airman (SrA), Technical
Sergeant (TSgt), Master Sergeant (MSgt), and Senior Master Sergeant
(SMSgt), the applicant’s HYT has been changed and is now April 2009. The
applicant now has the choice of extending to his new HYT date once he is
within 24 months of separation, extending to his requested retirement date
once he is within 12 months of retiring, or if the member would like to
stay until his new HYT date, he may be eligible to reenlist.
The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 24 January 2003, copies of the Air Force evaluation were forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment. As of this date, this office has
received no response (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 probable error or injustice. Evidence has not been presented
to show that the applicant was miscounseled, or that he was treated
differently than other similarly situated enlisted members. The
applicant’s enlistment was extended for the minimum amount of time required
for completion of his overseas assignment in accordance with the Air Force
Instruction 36-2606. We note the comments by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility that there are options available to the applicant by
which he may be able to obtain retainability to serve until his authorized
HYTD. In view of the foregoing and in the absence of evidence by the
applicant showing the actions taken by Air Force authorities at the time he
executed the extension which is the subject of this appeal were erroneous
or unjust, we find no basis on which to favorably consider his request to
change his current extension.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

He states that at the time he was considered for promotion to MSgt, he had more than 12 months left until retirement. Counsel opines that based on the stipulations in AFI 36-2502 and AFRC 36-2102, the Air Force could have, and should have, granted the applicant the promotion to master sergeant (MSgt). The waiver was denied because the applicant would have only been able to perform duty as a MSgt for 10 months before reaching his mandatory retirement at High Year of Tenure Date of 20 Mar 07.

He be allowed to test for promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant (SMSgt) and be considered for promotion by the SMSgt promotion board during cycle 13E8. The reason the these documents did not go before the promotion board is because their close out dates did not meet the promotion eligibility cutoff date (PECD) for any previous cycle; the PECD for cycle 12E8 was 30 Sep 11; therefore, the first time these documents would have been considered by a promotion board was cycle 13E8 that...

On 10 Sep 03, the Board did not restore his SSgt grade but instead promoted him to senior airman effective 9 Apr 03 and waived the HYT restriction so he could be eligible for promotion consideration by the 04E5 cycle. His present reenlistment (RE) code of 4D renders him ineligible to reenlist because of HYT restrictions, i.e., he has not yet been promoted to SSgt. A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit D.
