             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-01295
            INDEX CODE:  112.03
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her date of separation (DOS) be adjusted to reflect 20 Nov 03,  rather  than
6 Jan 04.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When she received orders for an assignment to Maxwell AFB she  extended  her
enlisted to obtain the  required  24  months  retainability.   Her  original
reporting date was 31 Dec 01 which required a DOS  of  16  Jan  04.   In  an
effort to arrive at her new assignment as early as possible,  her  commander
authorized her to report up to 60 days prior  to  her  original  report  not
later than date (RNLTD).  She arrived on  21  Nov  01  resulting  in  a  DOS
requirement of 21  Nov  03  based  on  24  months  retainability.   She  was
informed that her DOS should have been adjusted prior  to  departing  Offutt
AFB.

In support of her request, applicant provided a personal statement,  a  copy
of her extension contract, a copy of her  permanent-change-of-station  (PCS)
orders, and documentation associated with  her  assignment  processing.  Her
complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 Jun 98 for a period  of  4
years.  Her DOS was 16 Jun 02.  She has been progressively promoted  to  the
grade of senior airman, having assumed that grade effective and with a  date
of rank of 17 Jun 01.  Applicant received an assignment notification with  a
RNLTD of 31 Dec 01.  On  12  Oct  01,  she  executed  an  extension  of  her
enlistment for a period of 19  months  in  order  to  qualify  for  her  PCS
assignment, extending her DOS to 16 Jan 04.

_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends  denial.   DPPAE  states  that  because  members  must
extend in full month increments, she was extended 19 months taking  her  DOS
to 16 Jan 04.  AFI 36-2606 states that when an existing extension  (not  yet
entered) is to be replaced by an extension of a shorter duration, MPFs  take
appropriate steps to shorten the extension.  It was  her  responsibility  to
contact the MPF if she wanted  the  extension  shortened.   It  is  not  the
responsibility  of  the  assignments  section  to  direct  airmen   to   the
reenlistment section if their RNLTD changes.   In  addition,  member  states
she voluntarily reported early to this assignment.   This  does  not  negate
the time she originally agreed to serve in  the  Air  Force.   There  is  no
reason to shorten her extension just because  she  chose  to  report  early.
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  9  May
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 an error or injustice that  would  warrant  corrective  action.
We find no evidence of error in this case  and  after  thoroughly  reviewing
the evidence submitted in support of her appeal, we do not believe that  she
has been the victim of an injustice.  In this respect, we note that as  part
of her extension counseling, she acknowledged an understanding that  in  the
event her retainability  requirements  were  to  change,  she  must  request
cancellation of the extension within 30 calendar  days.   PCS  retainability
requirements are determined by the assignment RNLTD.  Since the  applicant's
early reporting was voluntary in nature and did not necessitate a change  in
her RNLTD, her retainibility requirement  was  not  affected  by  her  early
arrival.  Thus, it appears that adjustment of her  date  of  separation  was
not warranted in this case.  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.
