             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  03-01297
            INDEX CODE:  112.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB)  be  recomputed  to  include  his  14
months of obligated service.

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His SRB was not paid in full.  He extended his enlistment by  18  months  on
13 February 2002, in order to  qualify  for  retraining.   He  reenlisted  8
November 2002, for 4  years  and  14  months.   AF  Form  901,  Reenlistment
Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4, was calculated using only 4  years  of  that
reenlistment and not 4 years and 14 months.   In  accordance  with  AFI  36-
2606, paragraph 2.14.1, he should also  have  his  14  months  of  obligated
service calculated into his SRB.

In  support  of  his  application,  he  provides  a  personal  statement,  a
supportive statement by his detachment chief, and documents associated  with
his enlistment extension.  His complete submission is at Exhibit A.

__________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from  the  Military  Personnel  Data  System  (MilPDS)
indicates the applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service  Date  as  1
June 1994.  He is currently serving on active duty in  the  grade  of  staff
sergeant, with an effective date of rank of 1 March 2000.

On 24 March 1994, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force for  a  period  of
four years.  On 1 October 1997, he reenlisted for a period  of  four  years.
On 13 February 2002, applicant requested that his enlistment  of  1  October
1997 for a period of 4 years be extended  for  a  period  of  18  months  to
qualify for retraining.  His request was approved on 2 March  2002  and  his
date of separation (DOS) was extended from 31 July 2002 to 31 January  2004.
 On 8 November 2002, he reenlisted in the Air Force for a period of  4 years
and 14 months.  AF Form 901, Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to  DD  Form  4,
indicates that at the time  of  his  enlistment  of  8  November  2002,  his
Selective Reenlistment Bonus was paid in Zone B, with a Multiple  6.5  based
on 4 years and 0 months.  This  form  was  signed  by  the  applicant  on  6
November 2002.

__________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied.    DPPAE  states  that  the
applicant reenlisted in October  1997  making  him  a  second  term  airman.
First-term airmen are the  only  airmen  authorized  to  retrain  under  the
CAREERS retraining program.  When the applicant  retrained,  he  was  not  a
first term airman and was therefore not eligible for the waivers first  term
airmen receive.  The AFPC/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
2003 for review and response.  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.   After  a  thorough  review  of  the
evidence  presented,  it  appears  that   in   accordance   with   governing
directives, appropriate  action  was  taken  in  executing  the  applicant’s
Selective  Reenlistment  Bonus  (SRB)  payment.   Additionally,  this   same
directive stipulates that second-term airmen (applicant’s  status)  are  not
afforded the opportunity to waive their  obligated  service  as  allowed  by
first-term airman.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and  recommendation
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their  rationale
as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been  the  victim
of an error or injustice.  In the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we
find no 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 probable 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.
