         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-01372
            INDEX CODE:  135.02

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be credited with an additional  four  points  during  Retirement
Year Ending (RYE) 29 Jan 03.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was told when he became  an  individual  mobilization  augmentee
(IMA) that his retention/retirement (R/R) date was 5 Dec  and  that
he needed to earn 50 points between 5 Dec and 4 Dec to have a “good
year.”  At some point his records were audited and his R/R date was
changed to 30 Jan, but he was never notified of the change.  If  he
had been notified, he would have made sure that he had the required
points during his new R/R date of 30 Jan.

In support of his appeal, applicant  submitted  copies  of  his  AF
Forms 40a documenting training  he  completed  on  14  Dec  01  and
23 Jan 02, and  a  copy  of  his  assignment  order  (RO  DA-02930)
reflecting his R/R Date as 5 Dec.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Based on available  records,  applicant  was  commissioned  in  the
Reserve of the Air Force as a second lieutenant on 4 May  89.   His
total federal commissioned service date/total  years  service  date
(TFCSD/TYSD) is 4 May 89.  Applicant entered  the  IMA  program  on
15 Dec 2000.  He was reassigned from HQ ACC/FM to HQ  AETC/FMFM  on
18 Apr 01, his assignment order (RO  DA-02930)  reflected  his  R/R
date as 5 Dec.

He is currently serving in the grade of major, having been promoted
to that grade, effective 1 Oct 01.

During Retirement Year Ending 29  Jan  03,  he  was  credited  with
12 active duty (AD) points, 20 inactive duty (IDT) points,  and  15
membership points, for a total of 47 total and  retirement  points,
and an unsatisfactory year of participation.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPP reviewed this application and recommended denial.   The
applicant entered the IMA program on 15 Dec 00, and  scheduled  his
training based on an erroneous R/R date as indicated on his Reserve
order.  The order reflected his R/R date as 5 Dec.

The applicant’s service history was  audited  on  21  May  02.   In
accordance  with  Air  Force  Manual  36-8001,  Reserve   Personnel
Participation and Training Procedures, Table 2.4, his R/R date  was
established as 30 Jan, the date he initially entered into  military
service.  The record shows a change of R/R date memorandum was sent
to the applicant on 3 Jun 02.  An  AF  Form  526,  ANG/USAFR  Point
Credit Summary, prepared 20 Jun 02, was also sent to the applicant,
reflecting the correct R/R  date  and  an  unsatisfactory  year  of
federal service for RYE 29 Jan 02.

The applicant was notified, by two separate letters to his  present
address of his R/R date change.  The R/R date change occurred seven
months prior to the closeout  of  his  new  retirement  year.   The
period of time required to complete a satisfactory year of  service
was extended by over one and one-half months,  from  4  Dec  02  to
29 Jan 03.  The applicant did not participate in Dec 02 or Jan 03.

A complete copy of the 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 16 May 03 for review and comment within 30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office (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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to  demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of
the evidence of record and  that  provided  by  the  applicant,  it
appears that the applicant  scheduled  his  training  based  on  an
erroneous retention/retirement (R/R)  date  of  5  Dec,  which  was
reflected on his Reserve assignment order.  After an audit  of  his
records, HQ ARPC established his R/R date as 30 January,  the  date
he initially entered into uniform service.  The  Air  Force  record
shows a change of R/R date memorandum was sent  to  the  applicant;
nevertheless,  we  cannot  determine  with  any  certainty  if  the
applicant was aware of the change to his R/R date.   Therefore,  we
recommend that three inactive duty points  received  in  Retirement
Year Ending (RYE) 29 January 2002 be transferred to RYE 29  January
2003.   This  recommendation   will   provide   the   applicant   a
satisfactory year of service for Retirement Year Ending  29 January
2003.  Accordingly, we recommend that the  applicant’s  records  be
corrected as indicated below.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:

      a.  He was credited with  21  inactive  duty  training  (IDT)
points rather than 24 IDT points during the Retirement Year  Ending
29 January 2002, resulting in 36 total and retirement points rather
39 points.

      b.  He was awarded three additional  IDT  points  during  the
Retirement Year Ending 29 January 2003, resulting in 50  total  and
retirement points and a year of satisfactory Federal service.
