RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2003-00623
INDEX CODE 128.05
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: Not Indicated
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for his 17 Jan 03
reenlistment.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has never received an SRB even though he has reenlisted two times,
extended once, and served for nearly 10 years. He was given reason to
believe he would really receive a bonus this time for the first time
in his career. He feels he should be authorized an SRB.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the grade of staff sergeant
(Date of Rank: 1 Sep 01). He is an aerospace medical service
journeyman assigned to Andrews AFB, MD. His Air Force Specialty Code
(AFSC) is 4N051. When he reenlisted for a period of six years on 17
Jan 03, he had approximately nine years, four months and three days of
total active federal military service.
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.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE advises that in order to receive a Zone B SRB, one had
to be authorized for the applicant’s AFSC. According to the 31 Oct 02
Supplemental SRB List, the applicant’s AFSC of 4N051 was not
authorized an SRB. Since no SRB was authorized for Zone B of the
applicant’s AFSC, denial is recommended.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 7 Mar 03 for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, we are not
persuaded that he should receive an SRB. The applicant’s contentions
are duly noted; however, we do not find these assertions, in and by
themselves, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided
by the Air Force. According to the 31 Oct 02 Supplemental SRB List,
the applicant’s AFSC was not authorized an SRB. We understand his
disappointment, but to award him an SRB would be unfair to other
members with the same AFSC. 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 his
burden of having suffered either an error or an injustice. In view of
the above and absent persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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 Board noted that the Air Force Separations Branch was unable to determine the propriety of the separation.
