                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  03-00021
            INDEX CODE:  128.05
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 1 January 2002 reenlistment be changed to 19 January  2002,  which
will entitle him to a higher selective reenlistment bonus (SRB).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When the SRB changed from  a  multiple  of  2.0  and  increased  to  a
multiple of 3.5, he was not aware  of  a  30-day  window  required  to
receive the higher SRB.  At the time of the change he was deployed  to
a secret location and was not aware  of  the  change.   The  applicant
states that he should receive the higher SRB because he  was  deployed
to a secret location and did  not  receive  the  same  opportunity  as
others.  The applicant contends the Military  Personnel  Flight  (MPF)
failed to provide counseling  regarding  a  pending  SRB  change.   He
states that he spoke with someone in the reenlistment section and  was
told a notice was mailed to him.  The applicant  states  that  he  was
deployed, did not receive the notification, and was not aware  of  the
SRB increase.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular  Air  Force  in  the
grade of senior airman.

The applicant reenlisted on 1 January 2002 for a  period  of  six  (6)
years.  On 17 January 2002, HQ  USAF  released  a  new  SRB  list  and
required that affected personnel be briefed.   SRB  recomputation  was
allowed for members reenlisting between        2 January 2002  and  16
January 2002.



________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

DPPAE recommends the applicant’s request be denied.   The  SRB  review
had not been announced as of the date he reenlisted and therefore, the
MPF was not able to brief him that it had changed.

The DPPAE 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
17 Jan 03, for review and comment 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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice to warrant corrective action.   The
Board took note that at the time of his reenlistment on 1 January 2002
he was deployed to OCONUS to a classified location which  operated  24
hours a day, 7 days a week.  Under normal circumstances the  applicant
would most likely have reenlisted on 2 January 2002, rather than on  1
January 2002, a national holiday.  In view of the above and since  the
Air Force determine that the inclusive  date  to  award  the  SRB  was
changed to 2 January 2002, we believe it would be an injustice to  the
applicant  to  deny  him  the  higher  SRB  multiple.   Therefore,  we
recommend that his records be corrected as indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to  show  that  he  was  honorably
discharged on 1 January  2002,  rather  than  31  December  2001,  and
reenlisted on 2 January 2002, rather than 1 January 2002, for a period
of six (6) years, with entitlement to a Zone A, Multiple 3.5 Selective
Reenlistment Bonus.
